    This book is a good beginning for someone who has never made soap and is just learning but the person reading this will need to learn more about mixing ingredients and the quantities to use from other learning or books. There was only one example to make soap in this book but there was a reference chart for ingredients but since there are a host of other ingredients that a person can add, you might want to reference other books on the subject. The book was informative and a good place to start.

Chapter 1: A Brief Background on Soap and Soap Making

The History of Soap

Soap is perhaps one of the most used skin-care products all over the world, and it has actually been around much longer than we would have thought. In fact, the very first evidence of soap-like material has been dated to have existed at around 2800 B.C. in the outskirts of Ancient Babylon. The Babylonians were the first people to have mastered soap making, and they crafted their soaps from boiled fats and ashes. For at least 5 millennia, soap was utilized for cleaning cotton, wool, and cooking materials as well as for medicinal purposes.
