There are 13 clear steps with text and photos covering 18 pages with lots of white space to aid in following the steps. The recipes for different oil combinations are listed separately but each is complete in specifying the number of ounces of oils, lye, and water required.I don't understand the reviews that complain this book requires chemistry to follow the steps. I can't find any chemical formulas in the book but there may be some hidden someplace. The 5 alternate methods re: stirring listed on half of page 25 can be confusing--just cover them up with Post-It notes or highlight the alternatives so you can more easily skip over them.This hot process is more complicated and dangerous than making cold process soap and it takes 4 hours or more and requires frequent attention. (The alcohol process is even more complicated and dangerous but can and should be ignored by all but advanced soapmakers.) You'll probably have to order the Potassium Hydroxide over the Web--it's a lot harder to find locally than Lye-Sodium Hydroxide.I prefer using a crock pot to the double boiler method but the instructional steps, recipes, and temperatures still apply. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Making Natural Liquid Soaps: *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2023* A helpful book on making soaps. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Helpfull Book for Making Liquid Soap *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2010* This book did inspire me to make homemade liquid soap for the first time ever. For the most part, I found the instructions to be clear and easy to follow, much like a recipe. However, my first batch did not turn out well due to my 10 Quart soap pot was too small and the heat was turned up too high. This caused the mixture to foam up and leak out from underneath the plastic cover and spill out onto the floor. This was very discouraging and a total loss of expensive ingredients. It wasn't very clear to me what size pot to use or how much the recipe would yield (9.5 Quarts). I was attempting to make "Sudsy Fun Shampoo", page 65 using the "Alcohol/Lye Method", p. 33. I would suggest using a much larger pot or cutting the recipe in half when making for the first time and decreasing the heat to the lowest setting as soon as the mixture comes to a boil. Be sure to read the entire book cover to cover or you might miss a a couple of critical points such as making a buffer solution out of Borax, p. 30, and how much Pure Grain Alcohol will be required, p. 61. (20 ounces of PGA is almost an entire fifth!). I also found it confusing about how much water to use when diluting the paste down to the final product. Mine turned out a little too thin using the suggested amount. I also had trouble obtaining some of the ingredients. There is no "Grocery Store" substitute for Potassium Hydroxide. I got mine from Snowdrift Farm soapmaking supplier. I was very pleased with Snowdrift. The 2 pound cannister is enough for 3 batches. Larger amounts require a HAZMAT Shipping Fee. They do not carry Sulfonated Castor Oil and I have been unable to obtain this mysterious ingredient. I was able to find Vegetable Glycerine at the local health foods store. With some hard lessons learned, my second attempt went very well and the final product is wonderfull! It has a pretty amber color and turned out crystal clear, no cloudiness whatsoever. This shampoo is rich and luxurious and has a fresh clean scent like nothing I have ever used before. It gets my hair and scalp squeeky clean and softens my coarse hair. This book is packed with helpfull information and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make liquid soap or shampoo. --- ## 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.tn/products/1872479-making-natural-liquid-soaps-herbal-shower-gels-conditioning-shampoos-moisturizing](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1872479-making-natural-liquid-soaps-herbal-shower-gels-conditioning-shampoos-moisturizing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
