This book is an outstanding introduction to the process, covering different methods in clear detail, and includes lots of pictures so you can make sure you're on track. As someone with a science background I especially appreciate the explanations of chemical reactions and interactions, which are simple enough for your average layperson to follow but much more clearly grounded in actual science than some of the slightly questionable claims made by the crunchy-granola side of the soap making community (I love you crunchy-granola moms, but sometimes you're wrong, sorry!) I also found the section of fragrances incredibly helpful, both in terms of understanding how to create a lasting scent and understanding usage rates for oils that are more irritating. Thank you for this wonderful book! Review: Great for all levels; focuses on transparent liquid soaps. - This book does a wonderful job of explaining why the chemical process for KOH soap making is different; she makes sure to emphasize that a 'neutral' or balanced soap is not pH neutral 7, but merely a completed chemical reaction with no leftover lye or excess fat. If you need to understand why something works before you can accurately follow a recipe, this is the book for you. I do wish that she would cover paste and liquid soaps that aren't clear, though; she definitely values a transparent liquid soap, and really doesn't cover traditional liquid soap making (for example, old Appalachian methods) at all. I'd hoped to find more about using potash with late, or tallow, and goat or sheep milk, in this book. If she had ventured further into historical methods and how to include them in modern small batch homemade soap making (after all, that's a lot of the interest for most small crafters), it would make this book perfect. As it is, the book is still excellent; I recommend it, whether you're new to soap making or just new to potassium hydroxide soaps. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #198,461 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in Industrial & Technical Chemistry (Books) #35 in Soap Making (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (433) | | Dimensions | 7 x 0.62 x 10 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0990311503 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0990311508 | | Item Weight | 1.22 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 228 pages | | Publication date | November 4, 2014 | | Publisher | Jackie Thompson | ## Images ![Liquid Soapmaking: Tips, Techniques and Recipes for Creating All Manner of Liquid and Soft Soap Naturally! - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716CqRcgCVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent introduction for the home soapmaker *by M***O on November 20, 2024* I've been making solid CP soap for some years but was interested in trying liquid soap, especially so I could make my own dish soap and laundry detergent.

Thank you for this wonderful book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for all levels; focuses on transparent liquid soaps. *by O***F on April 11, 2018* This book does a wonderful job of explaining why the chemical process for KOH soap making is different; she makes sure to emphasize that a 'neutral' or balanced soap is not pH neutral 7, but merely a completed chemical reaction with no leftover lye or excess fat.

Just about every facet is covered, and using the info I easily made my first batch of liquid soap, seen in the photos (recipe #7). I did not follow the recipe exactly, as I used SoapCalc amounts instead. I had a fresh jar of KOH, and didn’t understand exactly why the author preferred to make the recipe lye heavy, and neutralize after cooking. Most current liquid soap makers online, seem to prefer a 0% to 3% max superfat. And my soap came out crystal clear anyway. By the way, let your soap sit and saponify longer, several days longer. It really does help turn the paste to a nice gel. A few other items were missing, like why adding saltwater to my soap samples ended up turning the liquid soap back to paste, when I did follow those directions exactly. It happened days later. Thickening with borax simply refers the readers to another book. But if you want to know all the details on how to scent your soap, this book covers scents quite extensively. I look forward to trying those, and the no-paste, and gel soaps, using the info in this book. This book is better suited to those more chemistry minded, with how the info is provided. Yes, math is involved. But, overall, a really helpful book that provides far more info than simple videos and some blogs can, and answers most of the questions I had. I’m happy I bought this book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Liquid Soapmaking: Tips, Techniques and Recipes for Creating All Manner of Liquid and Soft Soap Naturally! - Making Natural Liquid Soaps: Herbal Shower Gels, Conditioning Shampoos, Moisturizing Hand Soaps, Luxurious Bubble Baths, and more - The Natural Soap Making Book for Beginners: Do-It-Yourself Soaps Using All-Natural Herbs, Spices, and Essential Oils --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/36585614-liquid-soapmaking-tips-techniques-and-recipes-for-creating-all-manner](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/36585614-liquid-soapmaking-tips-techniques-and-recipes-for-creating-all-manner) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
