Maybe you’ve made melt-and-pour soap and wish to move on to something more challenging and rewarding. Maybe traditional soapmaking appeals to you, but you figure that working with lye is too difficult or dangerous. Or maybe you’re already doing it, but outmoded ideas and methods are complicating the process and slowing you down. 
 
No matter which of these fits you, you can find “Smart Soapmaking” practical, helpful, and refreshing. Written by a former professional soapmaker, this book explodes the myths about soapmaking and shows you how to make luxurious soap from scratch with the least fuss and bother. 
 
With both customary and metric measurements, plus a list of suppliers in five countries, “Smart Soapmaking” is the first in reality international book on the craft!

******RECOMMENDED BY THE HANDCRAFTED SOAP & COSMETIC GUILD******
 
“Should develop into THE book for soapmaking. . . . It’s about time someone wrote a book like this. Most are idealistic and inaccurate. This book has a wonderful common sense approach that is SO long overdue. . . . I will be able to recommend it with 100% confidence.” — Susan Kennedy, Oregon Trail Soaps, Rogue River, Oregon
 
“Smart it is . . . . A simple, no-nonsense book that cuts through the curmudgery of stifling soap bibles like no other.” — Shellie Humphries, Harstine Island, Washington
 
“Way overdue. . . . A gift of common sense caution, proven methods, tried-and-true shortcuts, and some excellent recipes as well, for both the professional/experienced soapmaker and the eager beginner.” — Deb Petersen, Shepherd’s Soap Co., Shelton, Washington
 
“A great book for beginners, with clear and easy instructions.” — Anne-Marie Faiola, Bramble Berry Inc., Bellingham, Washington
 
“I learned more from Smart Soapmaking than from any other soaping book, and I have read somewhat a few. . . . It’s written with the average person in mind, not a chemistry major. Directions are very simple and easy to understand. It truly takes the mystery out of making soap.” — Jackie Pack, Stuart, Virginia
 
“Groundbreaking . . . . Anne L. Watson [is the] universally respected and loved creator/crafter/curator of this lost art for thousands of aspiring soapers . . . . Unquestionably the best book with which to begin. To be precise, it’s one of the vital accessible, most reader-friendly, and most immediately useful container of information a first-time soapmaker could hope to find.” — Wishing Willow (blog)
 
“‘Smart Soapmaking’ after all got me over the hump [of fearing lye]. . . . I think Anne Watson is the Elizabeth Zimmermann of the soap world — a frugal, common sense gal, who says, ‘Don’t overcomplicate things. Just make soap.'” — Amanda Blake Soule, creator, “The Creative Family” and “Handmade Home,” Soule Mama (blog), Feb. 7, 2012
