Let’s be honest, making soap isn’t all that difficult. In fact, the basic process is pretty easy. But once you get the basics down, there’s a whole world of challenges you’ll likely encounter as you work to advance your soapmaking techniques.
This book is THE soapmaking book that I wish I had when I first started making soap. When I made my first batch of soap back in 2008, everything that could go wrong, did go wrong! Instead of producing beautiful soap, my first batch was an oozing, squishy mess. Thankfully, for the rest of you soapmakers, that first batch didn’t keep me from honing my craft.
In Soapmaking Tips, Tricks and Troubleshooting, I provide extensive troubleshooting advice for when soap goes wrong. Moving beyond the basics, this book discusses advanced topics such as superfatting, water discounts, fatty acid profiles, gel phase and more.
Focusing on tips and tricks that make soapmaking more efficient, Soapmaking Tips, Tricks and Troubleshootingaddresses advanced ideas, terms and definitions, helping you go from soapmaking novice to master.

I have been making soap for 5 years and have learned so much along the way. I had been looking for a “go to” book as a reference guide but knew it needed to be from a reputable vendor with tried and true information. When I saw this, I couldn’t pass it up. Now that I have it printed and in a binder, I have looked at it so many times and continue to learn. It is invaluable information even for a seasoned soaper!
