Details: The Art and Craft of Handmade Soap As an essential resource for soap-making, the Art and Craft of Handmade Soap covers all the essential information that both connoisseur and seasoned soap-makers can take advantage of. The Art and Craft of Handmade Soap was written and produced out of love for making homemade soaps. It traces back the history of soap, from the legend of soap in Mount Sapo to the rise of today’s commercially-made soap. However, the book’s contents are devoted towards educating a new soap-maker and filling information for the seasoned one. The Art and Craft of Handmade soap details the use of different soap making processes - pour-and-melt, hot processes and cold processes, along with each process’ strength and weaknesses. Furthermore, the book also provides insider information on how to infuse handmade soaps with oils and essences, choosing ingredients for a rich, creamy lather, as well as expert tips on cutting, curing and storing of handmade soaps. Providing straightforward step-by-step instructions, required tools and equipment and safety tips in making personal soaps, this book provides a comprehensive introduction for the uninitiated soap-makers. Making your own soap in today’s world does not just make frugal and economic sense. Beyond anything, it is practice too often overshadowed by large soap industries, diminishing its impact and significance that were once highly regarded. The Art and Craft of Handmade soap takes readers to the centuries when soap was regarded a luxury and people placed great emphasis on its composition. Making your own soap affords you to choose your own ingredients, resulting to the kind of fragrance, lather and feel with your own personal magic. Personal and handmade soap-making is like being able to concoct your own bar of magical essence and fragrances – a true and one-of-a-kind luxury you do not get to experience from store-bought soaps. This book will help jumpstart your endeavor in weaving that kind of magic.
