Book Reviews of Soapmaking for Fun & Profit: Make Money Doing What You Love! (For Fun & Profit)

Book Review: Excellent Resource For Those Looking To Make Soap & Sell It
Summary: 5 Stars

I really find this book an excellent resource for soapmaking and small business. I have not tried any of the soap recipes in the book, but they seem straightforward. There seems to be more melt and pour and hand milled than cold process recipes, and there were no hot process recipes. All recipes that use butters describe using a double boiler to melt it but I have read in other sources that a microwave can be just as fine for this purpose, so I found that the recipes could be made even simpler by mentioning this.

This book covers all aspects of soapmaking beyond just the actual ingredients and putting them together. Packaging, labeling, and more are in here.

The business aspect of the book is what I find the most useful. It is concise and easy to understand for those who do not have a background in business. The book reviews taxes, record keeping, selling venues, wholesale, consumer safety law, and a great list of other resources for those who want to continue learning about small business for crafters.

This book is now 10 years old, so I would imagine some of the consumer safety regulation and law in the US has been changed so I would recommend that readers make sure you do go to other resources for this as well.
