Reader's reviews

  • When I received the book 2 days ago, I litteraly devoured it !
    « Je crée mes savons au naturel » in 10 points :
    1 – A clear preface that explains the author's intellectual motivations.
    2 – An introduction that clearly describes the French soap industry.
    3 – A real invitation to create and to regain true values.
    4 – A generally easy to understand and accurate view on chemistry, history, and various soap processes, along with the advantages of cold process soap making.
    5 – The list of commonly used oils and fats with their properties.
    6 – A very useful chart with essential oils and their notes (top – middle – base).
    7 – The natural colorants (with wonderful findings and tips).
    8 – The step-by-step hand made cold soap making process.
    9 – 30 recipes (with and without palm oil).
    10 – A glossary and a suppliers list.
    A book for all amateurs willing to make their own most basic and best cosmetic product in the world : Cold process soap !
    A bed side book for all lovers of "hand made".
    A book for the « Pros » who will certainly find additional information or gentle reminders
    A book that mostly is about generosity and sharing, and THAT is like natural glycerin, it does you good !

  • I recently bought your book and had not yet taken the time to thank you for this beautiful and precise illustrated book.
    I have really enjoyed myself making your soap recipes, especially the "api barre" soap because I use my own products from my beehives. Thank you again and all the best. Sincerely.
