The Big Book of Homemade Soap : For Your Skin, Health & Home
Overview
Stop following recipes. Start understanding soap.
Written by formulator and teacher Nigar Rustamova, whose courses in natural cosmetics have trained more than 10,000 students, this book takes you from your first safe batch of lye to advanced layered, milk and hot process bars.
Part One - Foundations. Seven theory chapters come before the first recipe: lye safety and a professional protocol, fragrances and colorants, essential oils, the gel phase, natural additives, curing times, macerated oils and how to read soap-calculator values.
Part Two - 10 complete formulas:
- 100% Coconut Oil Soap
- Castile Soap
- Marseille Soap
- Black Seed Soap
- Rosemary & Citrus Luxury Bar
- Four Spices Layered Exfoliating Bar
- Jasmine Hot Process Soap
- Goat Milk & Honey Soap
- Coconut Milk & Orange Soap with Chocolate Embed
- Fresh Cut Rose Luxury Bar
Every formula gives you: exact gram weights, INCI names, superfat and water discount, temperatures in C and F, its own cure time, and a step-by-step method.
Plus: a troubleshooting guide (acceleration, seizing, soda ash, partial gel), an essential-oil phototoxicity guide, an INCI cross-reference and a supplier checklist.
For complete beginners and experienced soapers alike. Full-color edition.
