This book is basic enough for someone who has never made soap, and challenging enough for the intermediate soaper. Included in the book are several recipes for cold process soaps that do not require exotic oils or expensive equipment. Therefore, the making of the first and second batch of soap becomes easily accessable. The writing style is clear and entertaining. The photos are appealing and give a good idea of what to expect a real home made bar of soap to look like.

Interesting section on how lye was made in the past...his soap recipes often involve too many ingredients. I don't like the consistence of all of his soaps either- they often turn out to be too chaulky or something. However, there is some useful info in here- it's worth a read, and I know it's highly recommended by others I have talked to.

"I just wanted to write to say thank you. I have been purchasing products from your Web site for quite a while, namely rice bran, seaweed powders, camellia oil, dead sea salts and most recently, shea butter. I have very sensitive skin, and there aren't many products on the market that I don't develop a nasty rash from. I'm a research chemist, and many ingredients in mass market products are petrochemically derived. Although the by products may be trace, it is still enough to agitate my skin. It is also important for me to select products that do not have a vile effect on the environment. I ran an online search for rice bran to use as a gentle face wash and stumbled across FNWL. I was absolutely delighted with the delicate cleansing and calming effect it had on my face. Most recently, the shea butter I purchased has completely healed the eczema on my knees. I wanted to say thank you. Your product quality and prices are absolutely superb. "
