Great Soap Book!.......2007-09-25
I purchased three books on soapmaking, and in my opinion, this one is by far the very best! The author's instructions are clear, concise, and the techniques are simplified and de-mystified over other soapmaking books. I made my first batch of "Anne's Shea Butter Supreme" today, and the soap turned out beautifully without a glitch. I also had a newbie question about a product I purchased, so I emailed the author. Anne responded back quickly and was very helpful, a fact that I greatly appreciated! I can't wait to use my soap and make more of the recipes from the book.
I LOVE This Book!.......2007-08-14
Anne makes soapmaking simple -- I'm a newbie and I'm still learning. This book gives just enough information to educate, without overwhelming. She challenges the "soap theology" of most of the other books, but it makes sense.
I highly recommend it!
Great things come in small packages!.......2007-07-09
This book has everything you need to start making soap. The instructions and illustrations for the cold-process of soap making are easy to follow, the recipes are simple and produce great soap every time. Anne's Shea Butter Soap is a very versatile recipe, and her references to other sources are invaluable. Would love to see the author produce a volume of soap recipes!
smart soaping.......2007-05-07
You can't go wrong with this book. If you get anybook on soaping this is the one you need.
Great Book for Beginners.......2007-04-23
This was my very first soapmaking book and I love it! Anne makes soapmaking easy with her well written instructions and great recipes.

Good Source of Information but Caution on Recipes.......2003-01-06
I like the way the book is organized and written, and the photos are inspiring. The writer does a good job of organizing the topics. I found the lists of additives, essential oils, and fillers especially interesting and informative, and I return to this section often. However, after plugging in a few of her recipes in a lye calculator, I was disappointed in the lye heavy recipes. I felt this was very lazy editing and a potential danger to new soap makers who do not know how to design their own recipes. I checked some of her sap values and they are correct, but, out of a sampling of 5 recipes, 2 recipes are lye heavy: "Grapefruit Slice" is -1.6% lye heavy; "Fresh as a Cucumber" is also -8% lye heavy. However, "Blackberry Smoothy", "Peach Melba", and "Strawberry Soap" are all okay. If you already know how to design your own recipes, this is a good book for inspiration.
Good for inspiration, but..........2002-09-19
I am a beginner soap maker, and found the recipes and pictures good for inspiration. Also, the sequence of pictures for a basic recipe from heating stage to the trace stage are useful. However, the book is not useful for creating your own recipes. While the book has a saponification table and a description of how to calculate amount of lye to use, it does not tell you how much liquid to use in a new recipe.
maybe for beginner, but not so great for experienced soapmak.......2002-01-10
I returned this book. As an experienced soapmaker, I found that this book just repeated a lot of the same information from other books I have read. There are better books out here and this one is pretty mediocre. I would recommend "Essentially Soap" over this book.
Worth Every Penny!.......2001-11-25
As a professional soapmaker I own just about every soapmaking book published. "The Handmade Soap Book" by Melinda Coss is my favorite and I highly recommend it. The photographs by Emma Peios are sensual and entice you to want to make each and every soap in the book. The recipes are for small batches which works well while you are just learning and when you've found your favorites you can double or triple the recipes. The recipes are well written and pretty much fail-proof. Coss is not a soap snob or purist, rather she uses color freely to produce delightful results. Coss features both vegetable soap and animal-based materials for those who would like to experiment and choose for themselves rather than have the decision made for them which is done in many soapmaking books. Yes, the book is a bit pricey but it is hardcover so it is durable, the photographs are inspirational and the recipes make "The Handmade Soap Book" worth every penny.
Beautiful and Inspiring, with Caution.......2001-11-24
This book is an inspiring look at handmade soap recipes. The photographs are helpful as well as beautiful, and there are some good photos of the soapmaking process. Readers should always be aware that every soap recipe should be run through a lye calculator before use, and this book is no exception. Typos do happen, and a few of these recipes are lye-heavy. The descriptions of each recipe are also not very informative, but rest assured that every recipe will create luxurious handcrafted soap. The photos will also inspire the reader to create their own recipes and experiment with color and fragrance options.
Book Description
There are really just two ways to make soap -- the cold process and glycerin -- but there are literally thousands of ways to make that soap delightful. Beautifully colored and shaped soap is a joy to use; grainy soap is studded with sand or poppyseeds in an amazingly effective hand cleaner; and pure translucent glycerin soap is as gentle as it is clear.
Shaping, coloring and mixing in additives are all covered in details. Soap, cut or molded into bars, squares, balls, domed bars, and round, is a joy to behold. Precious handmade soap can be personalized as gifts for the bride, for a newborn, or for a birthday by embossing a monogram onto the bar. Colors from subtle to pulsating add another dimension. Ingredients such as violet petals or coffee grounds create soaps that soothe and scrub. Sentimental soap made with May's lavender blooms is so romantic in November; pine scented soaps warm the month of December.
Handmade soap is a gift that says comfort, relaxation, and a treat for the senses -- for oneself or for a friend.

Good cold process soap reference.......2006-11-03
This book is a pretty good reference for a beginner soap maker. It covers three soap-making processes: cold process, hand (or French) milling (a.k.a. rebatching), and melt and pour.
This book has:
1. Sufficient detail for me, a complete novice, to have made a successful batch of cold process soap my first time. (I was somewhat supplemented by internet searches of soap making.)
2. A helpful, though not complete, troubleshooting section for cold-process soap.
3. Wonderfully scented recipes!
4. Blurbs about the properties of various essential oils, exfoliants, and other additives. These are not comprehensive, but are sufficient to get you started.
5. A section on the properties of various oils.
6. Seven basic (no additives) cold-process recipes that can be used with handmilling, along with basic properties of each.
7. Alot of cold-process recipes, along with some hand-milling recipes and ideas.
8. Ideas and recipes for herb-infused oils, making your own extracts, bath oils, bath teas, shampoo, shower gel, hair rinses, laundry and dishwashing soap.
It LACKS:
1. Hand-milling information. I'm having alot of trouble with it and can't find any answers! It would be great to have a troubleshooting section for handmilled soap.
2. Melt-and-pour information. If you need ideas for making melt-and-pour soap, how to embed objects, how to layer, etc., this is not the book to turn to.
3. A guide for developing your own soap recipes -- how to calculate lye/fats ratios, etc. And I wish the section on the properties of oils was a bit more extensive.
4. Recipes for lotions, body butters, bath salts and bath fizzies, in this book.
Another thing I did not like about the book is that it has some unrealistic expectations about one's soap-making budget. I'd've loved to see one (or a few) "grocery store" recipes, that can be made from oils one can easily find in any grocery store.
So, in short, this book would be a useful addition to a soap-making library, but it should probably not be your only reference.
Disapointing experience making the goats milk soap.......2003-09-28
Im a novice soap maker, but very good at following directions. However, when I attempted the goats milk soap (basic recipe 5) it was a disaster! The directions caution you about adding the lye to the goats milk...first it will be cloudy, then tan and you need to watch it carefully so you add to the oils before it turns orange. Well, my milk was tepid as the directions state but as I slowly added the lye, the mixture turned orange immediately...no cloudy stage and no tan stage! I poured it into the oils anyway following their instruction all the way..and the whole mess seperated as soon as it was poured into the mold...a complete waste.
Stubborn as I am, I tried the recipe on page 64, "Goats Milk and YLang Ylang", hoping to try again and this time it turned yellow immediatly as I added the lye. Again, I poured it anyway, no separation occured and the soap seems fine, but will have an expert friend look at it just to be safe.
The problem seems to be that the book does not tell you that goats milk needs to be completely or partially frozen to avoid burning it when the lye is added.
I will say it is a beautiful book, and will try the other recipes with hopes of better success.

These soaps are extraordinary!.......2003-01-24
Out of all the "popular" soap books, this was one of the first I bought and the one I use the most! I have made most of the recipes in this book and haven't had a failed batch yet, either hand stirred or with a stick blender. I was a beginner and now everyone wants my soaps because they are mild & natural, smell so "real" and are simply wonderful. Over the years I have become more sensitive to chemicals and "fake" smells. I have solved that problem by making and using these natural soaps for myself and my family.
As with any new endevor, I researched as much as I could, and I run ALL recipes through a lye calculator which can be found for free on the web. I personally like the amount of essential oils used because you can still smell them after the soap has cured.
If you want a soapmaking book, written by an awesome soapmaker, and don't want to spend hours being put to sleep by scientific chemical equations, then get this book and prepare to change your life forever!
Loved it!.......2002-03-07
This is one of my favorite soap making books! The recipes are great! Although I've never done any of the hand milled ones, since I'd had trouble doing that with other recipes. The recipes make great hard bars of soap! Highly recommended!

Customer Reviews:
Buyer Beware.......2004-09-02
Although this book has beautiful pictures and interesting recipes, you should be aware that it is the exact same book as "Handmade Soap, a practical guide to making natural soaps," but for the title and photos on the cover, together with its omissions -- the author fails to state what "mixed herbs" are in the recipe, and also fails to state how long soap must be cured before making the hand milled recipes. Several emails to the publisher have failed to elicit a response.
Book Description
Unlike most books on soapmaking, which typically teach the cold-process technique, a method that requires working with lye and several weeks of curing time, The Soapmaker uses safe, simple, no-lye methods and ordinary kitchen equipment to make a variety of all-natural bath and grooming products. The book features an exciting collection of over sixty recipes, including whipped cream and transparent glycerine soaps, shower gels, bubble baths, shampoos, and conditioners. A delectable array of ingredients, from rich essential oils to tangy citrus juices to soothing herbs and flowers, can be modified to suit individual preferences for color, scent, and skin type. Ideas for wrapping and packaging are also included for readers who want to give their scent-sational handmade soaps and other products as gifts. This book makes it easy for crafters, natural-ingredients enthusiasts, and devotees of fine grooming products to enjoy the handmade luxury of natural soaps.

The soapmaker: natural homemade soap from your kitchen.......2006-06-11
Great book with a good variety of soap recipes. Good instruction on how to create her yummy soaps. Such a good book for those of us who can't use harsh chemicals. The cream soaps are a unique twist on handmilled soaps. This is great book for any soap or craft library.
Soapmaking? No........2004-02-28
This book is not about soapmaking.
If you are looking for a resource for learning to make soap, this book is not for you.
If, however, you are looking for a resource on learning how to melt, mold, scent, colour and package soap, this is a pretty decent book.
I was really looking for some good books on the ancient art of soapmaking: creating and controlling the chemical reactions between fats and alkali in order to create that wonderful handcrafted soap that my grandmother knew, made and used. Instead, when I picked up this book, I got an eyeful of information on using someone else's soaps to modify into whatever shape and colours that you want.
That's all well and good... learning to hand-mill soap (that is really what this book is about, hand-milling soap... the process of reshaping and modifying previously-created soap) it a nice art in and of itsself but it is not soapmaking.
If you don't want to really control what your soap is made from but just want to make something pretty, fragrant, or what-have-you, I would recommend this book for you. It has some wonderful ideas for scents, shapes, packaging and such.
If, on the other hand, you want to become an artisan in the realm of soap... learning how to mix different fats in the proper ratios with the proper amount of lye to saponify, scent, colour and shape, and turn out a truly hand-made product, I would recommend that you find some other book. This is not for you.
A good starter book..something for everyone.......2003-01-09
Having goats I was interested in finding a book that would teach simple soap making techniques including using milk. I also wanted a book that would show natural soaps or soaps that would be healthy for my family and my skin. If you are interested in or make healthy foods you will have the items needed readily at hand. And the book is helpful because it lists where to get some of the ingredients for some of the soaps if your area doesn't carry them. Although essential oils can be found via the Internet as well. There should be one or two soaps (at least) that a person can and will want to make.
Milk-Based Soaps: Making Natural, Skin-Nourishing Soap by Casey Makela is a book I also recommend for those who like myself make homemade soap using milk from my own goats. Milk soap is harder to make but is my favorite soap next to olive oil soap.
Beautiful Soaps.......2002-11-03
This book contains alot of good information on making soaps that keep you from not having to deal with lye or other caustic chemicals. Essential oils are a bit expensive, but hey, who said that soapmaking as a hobby was inexpensive? I see alot of people complaining about not finding some of the ingredients. 100% pure Soap flakes are certainly NOT a detergent and can be found at the "better" soap making supply houses..you just have to take some time and search them out. You can also make soap flakes by grating a vegetable based 100% pure bar of soap, such a Ivory. Voila, instant soap flakes. Also, this book seems to originally been published in Europe, hence the hard to find ingredients in the U.S. When it comes to scents that you can't find, such as field mint, all you do is substitute it with another type of mint that you find pleasing. I applaud the author in the sense that she uses only essential oils and makes colors from natural ingredients. Yes, if you want cheap soaps that are made with disgusting synthetic scents and fake coloring, these things are readily available, but you get what you pay for. I for one, would only want to make pure, natural and organic soaps, as the author does.
Definitely not ingredients available from a normal kitchen.......2002-07-10
I had very high expectations of this book, which unfortunately were not met.
The first problem with this book is the author lists ingredients which are not readymade kitchen ingredients. Some of the oils listed are extremely difficult to find even for ardent aromatherapy enthusaists like myself. An example is monoi de tahiti. I called my natural soap store to ask if they sell soap flakes and was told they do not as soap flakes are acutally detergent and very harsh on the skin.
Another disappointment was the contact list at the back of the book 60% of the websites listed are not available or have changed ownership. An exmaple is the authors website it is now a website where you can buy garden furniture, flowers etc. Very disappointing. The reason I was looking for the authors website was cause she lists vegetable soap flakes as a product that is available off her website. The only soap flakes I could find were detergent.
Not all the recepies have pictures therefore it is difficult to assimilate what the product will look like after it is finished. I guess I could use my imagination!
On the upside the pictures that are there are breathtaking! The soaps look deliciously edible and overall the book gives some good ideas. I will just take the ingredients and find subsitutes and work some subsitution magic and hope it works!

Handmade Soap.......2007-02-03
This is a good book. I prefer to make handmilled soaps with natural ingredients like oatmeal, honey, lavender buds, coffee, milk, coconut, calendula, etc. Lots of soap books feature soaps with pretty colored soap chunks, glitter, and other pretty colors, but not everyone can tolerate these pretty but sometimes irritating additions to their soaps. Making soaps with more natural ingredients gives your soaps a different texture and appearance. This books gives you a realistic idea of what you can expect to see when you unmold and slice your soap. I have extremely sensitive skin. I always had an interest in making soap, but because I can not be around serious chemicals like lye (traditional soap making is out of the question). I turned to soap making after using soaps (for sensitive skin), but after I used them I would develop hives, rashes, etc. I have not had that problem since I started making my own soaps. The soaps in this book give you lots of unique ideas and recipes. The pictures are great. I just wish it was a little longer.
WOW.......2003-10-14
I already knew how to make soap before buying this book. So I've found it simple with great receipes. I usually do utility soaps but if you want to go further in fancy soapmaking, this book is excellent.
Not for beginners.......2003-02-11
This was my first book on soap making, and although the pictures are beautiful I didn't learn enough to feel comfortable trying the recipes. I think this is a good book for getting your creative juices flowing, but unless you are experienced in soap making, you won't get much from this book. There is no in-depth explanation of oils, scents, colors, or anything. Actual instruction in soap making was two pages. No saponification tables, no rebatching instruction, and no discussion of different types of soap making (only cold process). Very vague about many things. I would not recommend this book for a beginner. For ideas and pretty pictures get this book.
Not totally convinced!.......2002-03-11
Not really convinced about some of the measurements;
1.To much essential oil - makes the soap to overpowering .
2.lye reccomendations to high; ive run them through an online lye calculater to discover that they are abit excessive,and im convinced this is why ive ended up a couple of times with white chunks in my soap.
3.Alot of the food additives such as the Honey And oats are way to excessive in quantitys-I then found with time they went mouldy.
Nice array of ideas , just needed abit more fine tuning than it actually had.
Beautiful Creative and Concise.......2002-02-25
As a soap maker I really loved this book. I've probably read all the soap books available on the market. This book has by far the best creative projects and is filled with lovely stylish pictures. It is an inspiration and really makes you want to make soap. Hill's book is hard bound and over all very elegant, yet is surprisingly the lowest priced soap making book I've come across. It would be nice to make some of your own soaps and give the book as a present along with them. I did this recently and it was really apreciated, because the person who gets the gift understands the effort going into your soap.
The book is also clear informative. I bought my first soap book about 6 years ago and I wish this one had been around then. I baught the most recommended soap making book and I was so confused I nearly gave up, before developing my own recipe through trial and error. If you really want to know about a lot of sceintific jargon, this book is probably not for you. For most normal home purposes Hill gives you the basic information you will need as a beginner, with simple "normal people's" language. The book has a quick bullet point format, rather than getting to technical. Again I wish had this as reference when I started. She also answers all the questions I had as a totally bewildered beginner in a section in the back. with simple "normal peoples" language. She also gives honest direct safety information and suggestions. *If you do need more detailed information about the chemistry side, you can always get one of the larger nore technical words only books.

Customer Reviews:
I Love this book.......2007-07-28
I love this book. The edition I have (paperback) does not say add water to lye. Perhaps this has been corrected. It is emphasized in italics not to add water to lye. The photos are wonderful and gives you many ideas.
The recipes are simple ingredients. Since "Real" soap was made from these ingredients. (tallow and lard) It makes wonderful soap. She used a very simple method of handmilling. There are other ways. She keeps it simple. Most books I have read are very confusing. Out of all the books I have read this is my best book.
Vegans Beware!.......2007-05-23
Con: There are only 2 recipes that feature strictly non-animal based products. In-depth instructions on 'rendering' While you *can* change the oils, the lye calculations must be reformulated to compensate for the differing SAP levels. That, combined with the fact that the recipes are a bit lye heavy is, in my opinion, too much hassle.
Pro: The rebatch section has beautiful (triple lemon) and unusual (lettuce!) soap.
Pro: Very nice photos. Excellent wrapping/presentation ideas.
Recommendation: consider the library before making purchase.
Recommendation: "The Soapmaker's Companion" by Cavitch is more suited for (and leans toward) vegetarian/vegan soapmakers.
My goodness.......2006-09-01
Inaccurate and very VERY dangerous.
Mrs Coney suggests adding water to the lye instead of the other way round. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!
She then goes on to write about "trailings" (trace):
If you've stirred for nearly an hour and still can't see trailings, go ahead and proceed as if you have seen them. The signs are probably there, but you're not experienced enough yet to recognize what you're seeing.
VERY DANGEROUS AND MISLEADING. If proper trace hasn't been reached then it's very dangerous to proceed. Using some oils (such as olive, grapeseed and shiso) it simply takes longer to reach trace. I think most people making soap can understand what a thick custard (trace) looks like compared to milk (no trace).
Some of the recipes call for WAY to much lye! In some there isn't enough oil to change all of the oil into soap, leaving you with a soap which still has lye in it after saponification - very dangerous and a great way for the whole family to get some nice chemical burns. Enter some of her recipes into the online Lye Calculator at the-sage and you'll see what I mean.
More stupidity:
- Even thinking about mentioning the possibility of using liquid fabric dyes and food dyes in soapmaking
- Believing that you need to hand-mill and rebatch soap in order to use fragrances and additives
- Her way of making liquid soap is by rebatching soap with extra water added! Even a novice soapmaker can tell you that the only proper way to do this is by using Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) instead of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) in the soapmaking process.
- She doesn't even bother to suggest to properly test the PH of the soap before trying it: if the soap isn't ready, the lye in it will let you know right away by making your skin sting!.
Terrible, terrible, terrible and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS book.
Seasoned Soap Maker Loves This Book!.......2005-07-08
I've read a few of the reviews for this book, and I was quite surprised to see unfavorable ones! I love this book! I've been making soap for the past 7 years, so I'm not new to it. I've found this book helpful, and I've adapted my way of preparing my basic soap to this book's way - adding the lye is not any more dangerous then lye is inherently dangerous. Wear rubber gloves, and be careful! Lye is very caustic! I love the hand-milled soap recipes - I've created almost all of the ones in the book. The process of adding herbs, scents, & colors after the soap has cured is much more rewarding than adding these things to the lye/fat mixture (remember, lye is very caustic and will 'eat up' most additives). Hand-milled soap is very luxurious and quite easy to make - very exciting! I have lots of soap books, and this is the one I come back to most often. Try the olive oil castile soap - a nice soap that doesn't require special ingredients; and it's wonderful as a base for the hand-milled soaps, too!
Too intimidating for the the soap newbie.......2004-04-01
I found this book very intimidating, it was the first info I had bought and read about soap making,and the whole way it is written seemed to make soap making a scary prospect especially if you are afraid of lye, then add on top of that the rendering your own fat section! Ahhhhhhh------------! I bought it a year ago, read it put it on the shelf and said " I guess soap making is too hard, it's not for me! Now that I have access to the internet I have found other info about soapmaking and am finally ready to try it! Whew! It now doesn't seem so scary when I read other's directions and techniqes!I don't feel this is a good book for the soapmaking illiterate! Not for beginners!
