Making Natural Milk Soap: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-199 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin, a-

I have used this recipe four times. The first time I used the recipe was my first experience making soap. We were thrilled with the results. The mixture is easy to pour, making a nice, neat slab of soap to cut 24 hours later. The bars cured and became nice, hard bars of soap. The soap bars last a long time, too. One batch of this soap lasts me 10 months! I use these bars as shampoo bars, too, and it leaves my hair clean and soft. I have tried other soap recipes too, and some of them are very nice, but this recipe is my favorite. I cannot find it lacking in any respect, and have had no trouble with it whatsoever.

This is a great beginner recipe, believe me. Yes, the author cautions the reader to take the necessary precautions, and that is scary, but you will be safe if you are careful. Don't be afraid; be cautious.

Just remember your chemistry classes. Making soap is chemistry. Cooking is chemistry. Baking bread is chemistry. You have done some of these things already. Now try making soap. It is just one more chemistry experiment. If I can do it, so can you!

This is a gem of a little book. Yes, you can find some of the information online, but I prefer a simple, easy to follow manual which this is. The book does an excellent job of explaining the various milks available and how the best milk has high butterfat and thus high protein, and minerals.

I like that the author explains how using cream or half and half will result in a bar of soap that is more of a moisturizing bar. I equate this with Dove or Caress soap bars.On pages 22-23 the author does an excellent job of explaining how to add herbs, exfoliants, moisturizers, and healing ingredients like Aloe vera and honey to your homemade soaps.

She not only carefully explains how to make soap, much like our Grandmothers did, but how to make specialty bars with essential oils.

If you are like me, and have access to more than enough cows or goat milk and you dont want any to go to waste I highly recommend this book.

There is very little information in this 32 page pamphlet that you cannot find free on the net. The soapmaking technique (blending) is a little scarry, to me. With the added cost of shipping & handling, you could buy a much more informative hard cover REAL book for the same price at your local book store.
