Comments: An excellent book on producing liquid soaps and shampoos. I just made the soap, and the recipe was accurate. The author explains why to do a process, and it makes the whole production seem logical.

Comments: Overall, this book is very nice. It has lots of full-colored pictures, however, the liquid soap making methods in this book are a little complicated. I think it could be easier than these methods. Also, batches of the recipes are so large so that I had to change the amounts of oils for my batches.

Comments: This is the only book I have on liquid soapmaking. I found it to be full of information, though somewhat scattered. I had to flip back and forth between pages constantly. While the process is time consuming,I did have great success with the recipes, though, and would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in liquid soapmaking.

Comments: I thought this book was okay. The idea of following a recipe though and still hoping that it turns out, really doesn't make you want to rush out and attempt to make liquid soap. Maybe someone else will find this one more helpful than I did.

Customer Testimonial

"I want to take a quick moment and let your company know that I was extremely pleased with my last purchase. I have ordered from FNWL for two years, and this last purchase even exceeded your previous boxes. The box was so well packed. Everything was in order, I felt like it was safe, and it was concisely packed. I don't know when you changed your packaging style, but I would like to say that it made a HUGE difference. Presentation means so much in business, and your packaging was very professional and worthy of noting. Thank you again for the great products - they remain superb."
