DIY Natural Melt and Pour Soap Crafting Ultimate Guide to Making & Selling Colorful Natural Soaps

Paraben, Sulfate and Triclosan are some of the ingredients in commercial soap that I never questioned until I began making soap at home. That’s when my curiosity got the best of me.

After finding just these three, I wanted to call a truce to look for dangerous additives in what I used (and worse yet, my children used) to clean.

That’s when I thought I found the fourth one. Fragrance! How in the world could something that sounds as harmless as fragrance possibly damage your skin? How wrong I was. The definition of fragrance was a far cry in meaning than the one on the soap label.

I began making soap because it was a fun hobby I could share with my children. I continued because it morphed into a successful small business. But I’m now compelled to continue knowing that I’m contributing to the health of my family.

Before we get into the actual soap making, I do share my findings about just these four potentially harmful ingredients found in too many soaps and body washes. I am sure you will be shocked to read it.

Excellent book on the melt and pour soap making technique!

This is the best book I have read so far on the melt and pour method of soap baking. The author writes in a friendly style, and this book is perfect for beginners. It is great for the hobbyist as well as it gives information for people who are thinking of starting their own business selling homemade soaps. The author describes soap making in and easy to understand manner, and goes as she goes to the different steps. She makes it sound easy, which it really is. This book is perfect for anyone who wants to make homemade soap the easy way. It is a beautifully written book. The melt and pour method of soap making is ideal for anyone who would like to make soap with their family, as there was no lie or dangerous chemicals involved. The only thing you have to worry about is heating up the soap, which can be accomplished in either the microwave or a double boiler. This is a great book for anyone who wants to learn how to make soap the easy way.
