I’ve always been curious about natural soap making but was intimidated by the process. Kelly Cable’s The Natural Soapmaking Book for Beginners completely changed that. This isn’t just a recipe book—it’s a step-by-step guide that feels like having a patient teacher walking you through every stage. ✅ Clear Instructions: The book breaks down the science of soap making into easy, understandable language. I never felt overwhelmed, even when working with lye for the first time. ✅ Beautiful, Practical Recipes: From lavender and oatmeal to more creative swirls, the recipes are approachable but don’t feel “basic.” Each one encourages you to experiment with herbs, essential oils, and natural colorants. ✅ Safety First: I loved how the author stressed safe handling practices without making it scary. It gave me confidence to dive right in. ✅ Beyond the Basics: The troubleshooting tips and customization ideas make this a resource I’ll keep returning to as I grow more advanced. Within a week of owning this book, I made my first batch of lavender soap bars—and they turned out gorgeous (and smelled heavenly!). My family has already requested more, and I’m even considering making holiday gift sets. If you’ve ever thought about trying DIY soap, this book is the perfect starting point. It demystifies the process and makes it fun. Honestly, I didn’t expect to find a new hobby, but here I am, hooked. 🌿 Verdict: A must-have for beginners that will grow with you as your skills expand. Practical, inspiring, and beautifully put together. ... show more

I love this book! I have a hard time with processes and I made my first successful batch of the Relaxing Lavender Soap and it looks and smells amazing! It’s still curing so it hasn’t turned purple yet. She really does a good job with explaining the details.

Natural-first soapmaking with substance (just wish there were more visuals)
Format: Paperback
As someone who cares deeply about what goes on my skin (and my family's), I really appreciate how the author stays committed to natural ingredients throughout this book. She even calls out how easy it is for soapmakers to start with great intentions—then fall into using synthetic fragrance oils or pigments. I couldn't agree more: why go to all the trouble of using healthy natural ingredients only to add something toxic? The book is rich with helpful recipes, guidance on color layering, and practical tips for beginners. I’m excited to try many of the recipes, especially since she includes a lot of detail about natural pigments and essential oils—something I prioritize. Some of the ingredients might be a little tricky to source locally, but nothing unmanageable if you’re used to DIY projects. My only real wish? More pictures. I’m a visual learner, and while the illustrations are decent, I’d love to see more step-by-step or finished-product photos to inspire and guide my process. Still—this book feels grounded, intentional, and accessible, and I’d definitely recommend it to any beginner who wants to keep their soapmaking clean and natural. ... show more

Invaluable tool for beginners in soap making
Format: Paperback
Review Image by Tarcy
I love this book. I've never done anything with soap making before and after reading through it I was very confident and made several batches that came out pretty nice. I used the tried and true recipe first and just changed the colors and sent. Once I was comfortable with that, I bought a few more ingredients and I'm looking forward to trying different types of soap! This is definitely one of the most simplistic step-by-step guides I've seen and I absolutely love that about it. Only recommendation that I would have would be for them to make it spiral bound so you can keep it open while working! ... show more

Fantastic book and essential knowledge for soap making. I am familiar with the color wheel as an artist, but I didn't realize there is a scent wheel. This is a must have resource for soap making. Thank you so very much Kelly for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us. This book is a no brainer for beginners or the professional soap maker. Also the price is budget friendly. I appreciate your time and hard work that went into this wonderful book. Buyers, do not hesitate to purchase this book. It is worth every penny. Golden and outstanding.
