Introduction

Most people buy their soap from grocery stores, retail stores, and pharmacies. Some people now take advantage of home delivery services such as Amazon Prime in order to get their soap and other home necessities delivered straight to their door. Of course, that’s simply a luxury that we’ve grown accustomed to having in our lives.

However, soap hasn’t always been commercially available. Before the 1900s, most people made their own soap. Many people made their own soap even after it became more commercially available simply because they didn’t want to spend money purchasing something that they could do for their own family.

Now, there are people who make their own soap. Many people are enamored by the thought of making their own soap. However, most of the people with an interest in soap making never try it. They think it might be incredibly difficult, costly, or even time consuming. We will address those myths.

Reviews for Soap Making

[Frezz Garden · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This book is so misleading. Does the writer even know what she talks about? She is talking about glycerin all the time but she is actually referring to a ready made soap base.
