Editorial Reviews

Rebecca Dillon
"What I like best about this book is how comprehensive it is overall. It starts small with many of the basics some instructional guides tend to skip over or breeze through, and expands on the information as you progress. It includes instructions on not only the best way to make your soaps, but what equipment to use for the greatest product results."
Ewa Kelly
"The book contains information on what equipment you should have for soap making, what type of soap base and moulds you should use. It details the use of fragrance & essential oils, herbs. You will also learn all about what is best for you to use in soaps, which colorant to use and which you should avoid. If you intend to make more than just one bar of soap there is great information on how to store, package and label your creations."
Patrice Harrison
"What I like about this book is it's just not a book full of projects. Lisa gives you some background on what melt and pour soapmaking is along with tips and tricks as well as facts and safety tips. This book is perfetto for newbs and presents some fun, indoor activity for the kiddos. Throw a soap party and invite your best buds over for a little pinot and soapmaking."
Amazon - Shala Kerrigan
"One of the best things in my opinion about melt and pour soap crafting is that it's a very friendly craft. You don't need to be a kitchen chemist. It's a craft that's ideal for parents to do with children as gifts or as the start of a home based business."

    The Joy of Melt and Pour Soap Crafting EBook Review I love crafting and trying new things.

    What I love most about this book is how detailed it is.  Even a

    What I love most about this book is how detailed it is.  Even a complete soap newbie, like me, will have no problem following her thorough instructions.  Lisa’s passion for soap crafting is evident throughout the book.  After finishing it, I am so excited to give soap crafting a try.  I especially want to try her recipe for Rosemary Lavender Shampoo Bars since I have dried rosemary from last year’s garden.
    Lisa features a wide variety of recipes in her book – 40 in all!  Browsing the great selection, I was intrigued by recipes like Lentil Bliss Shampoo Bar, Key Lime Pie Soap (bet that smells amazing!), and Fruit of the Vine Wine Soap.  They definitely feature some ingredients you probably wouldn’t expect to find in soap!  There are also some fun molded soaps that kids would enjoy, like soapsicles.  I know my kids would love those!  If you want to see a sample recipe be sure to check out this tutorial for making Berry Blue Christmas Soap.
    Because these recipes all use a melt and pour soap base, they are quick to make.  Most of them can be completed in less than an hour.  That is especially good news for the busy mom who has to fit her crafting in between cooking and caring for her kids.
    Although I am mainly interested in making soaps for gift giving, Lisa also included a great section on starting your own handcrafted soap business.  It is so hard for today’s family to survive on one income.  Many of us stay at home moms are looking for ways to earn money from home while still being available for our families.  So I found this section to be extremely helpful.
