Full of helpful advice on how to make your own soaps at home using only the best natural ingredients, this colorful, lively handbook shows how to make soaps that are not only good for you but also as wonderfully indulgent as anything in a high-end salon or department store.

Sarah Ade beings by listing the natural ingredients available for soap making and their properties before explaining the techniques required for creating them. She discusses the benefits of holistic skin care, and why your body will thank you for it. The recipes range from the fun and frivolous to the sensible and serious, and the book is packed with homemade skin care ideas. It's an essential guide for anyone interested in what they put onto their body as much as what goes inside.
