Do you love the feel of milk soaps but shy away from
the cost? Are you looking for a special kind of gift you
can make yourself? Or do you already make soap and want
to try something new? || Anne L. Watson's "Smart
Soapmaking" was the first book based on modern
techniques that eliminate the drudgery and guesswork
from home soapmaking. Now, by popular demand, she
continues her soapmaking revolution with the first
practical, comprehensive book on making milk soap. ||
Experience the rich, soothing, luxurious feel of milk
soap you've made yourself. Your skin will thank you for
it. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Anne L. Watson is the author of the wildly popular and
widely acclaimed beginners book "Smart Soapmaking" and
its companions, "Milk Soapmaking" and "Smart
Lotionmaking." She has made soap professionally under
the company name Soap Tree, and before her retirement
was a historic preservation architecture consultant.
Anne's other published books include "Baking with Cookie
Molds" and several novels. Anne, her husband, Aaron, and
their cat, Skeeter, live in Friday Harbor, Washington. /

"Beautiful in its simplicity...A definitive book for
experienced as well as beginning milk soapers." --
Rebekah Bailey, The Original Soap Dish, South Whitley,
Indiana || "An easy to read and understand book that
will take the mystery out of milk-based soapmaking and
debunk some of the myths surrounding it. It contains
some great basic formulas to get you started making milk
soaps of any kind, and fuel to let your imagination run
wild when you are ready to formulate your own creations.
A good source of information for new soapmakers, and
also suitable for more experienced soapmakers who want
to start making milk soaps but thought it would be too
difficult." -- Amanda Guilfoyle, Bodelicious Bath &
Body Products, Ipswich, Queensland, Australia || "As
always, Anne is up to her usual excellence. This book
demystifies milk soapmaking so everyone can have the
luxury of a truly decadent bar of soap *easily*. LOVE
this book!!!" -- Susan Kennedy, Oregon Trail Soaps,
Rogue River, Oregon || "Milk soaps are wonderful, and
there's so little guidance available...It's about time a
good book came out." -- Carol Schatz, Dragon's Pearls
Naturals, Calera, Alabama || "If you have an interest in
milk soaps, this is the book for you...Debunks much of
the popular wisdom that may have discouraged some
soapmakers." -- Kevin M. Dunn, Author, "Scientific
Soapmaking" and "Caveman Chemistry" || "As
uber-soapmaker Anne L. Watson demonstrates, milk soaps
made properly are [rightfully] well-known for a quality
of luxurious buttery softness that is undeniable...Anne
once again acquits herself ably as a scholar of the suds
and a natural communicator." -- Wishing Willow (blog) ||
"Enthusiastically recommended." -- Midwest Book Review,
Feb. 2009, "Reviewer's Choice" || "Full of information
that milk soapers, whether novice or experienced, could
use to make better milk soaps. Anne writes in a
conversational style that made me feel as though I were
sitting down with her in her kitchen...Anne details what
seems to be everything there is to know about the
subject. Rather than simply offering her opinions and
favorite practices, Anne did extensive testing and
experimenting, learning how to make the best milk soap
bars that could be made. Soapmakers will be impressed
with the amount and quality of Anne's research and
observations...That leaves the question: Can a neophyte
made good cold-process milk soap? I now say yes, with
the caveat they have 'Milk Soapmaking' in hand."-- Beth
Byrne, "The Saponifier," Sept.-Oct. 2010 |
