Summary, Etc. "Discover the craft of intentional, simple soapmaking with this comprehensive guide to creating natural soaps using streamlined techniques and just a handful of thoughtful ingredients. Author and accomplished soapmaker Simi Khabra traded the demands of running a high-volume natural soap business--shipping over 50,000 soaps around the world--for the slower pace of handcrafted small-batch soapmaking. Within these pages, she distills her years of knowledge to help home soapmakers create professional-quality bars as efficiently as possible using just five base oils, five affordable essential oils, and a curated selection of vibrant natural colorants. Anything but plain, these beginner-friendly recipes explore the creative freedom found in the adage "less is more." You'll learn Simi's innovative time-saving methods for batching base oils and lye-water so you can head to the kitchen and whip up a batch of soap whenever inspiration strikes. Start with one of Simi's classic base recipes, then discover how to transform it into over 27 exciting variations. From Blue Cedar Indigo Soap and Peak Bloom Wildflower Soap to Almond Milk Mocha Soap and The Mokes Saltwater Bar, these make up Simi's most creative and personal collection yet. If you are looking for a fresh innovative method that minimizes soapmaking to its most essential and pleasurable aspects, look no further. With this handbook by your side, you can move slowly and intentionally, focusing on the joy of creating something beautiful, practical, and meaningful by hand." -- page [4] of cover.
