Publisher's summary

In this book, I don't tell you how to make soap in few steps and then give you a few recipes to try, so you can start your own soap-making business. You can find that information anywhere; you don't have to buy my book to learn that. Wait! Oh! I did that in this book. I did explain how to make soap. I also did give you a few simple recipes too. But I hope that is not why you bought this book.

In this book, my goal is to explain to you in simple terms how to create great natural and organic soaps and not just make soaps. There is a difference. You will get to see and understand that difference when you understand each of the ingredients and how they interact and react with each other.

You will not have a great business if you are just making carbon copies of a few soaps of other people which your customers can go buy from any local stores. What will make you unique is when you create a blend or two of your own and people start liking your creation. That is when you can hit the home run in this business.

Imagine growing your soap company into a local, regional, and ultimately a national brand.

This is a two-part book. In the first part I show you how to get started. I show you every step you need to take to make your first batch of soap. Then I show you how to test your creation and how to figure out what works and what does not.

In the second part of the book, I teach you everything you need to know about turning your newfound passion into a successful business. I share my own story and how I turned my passion into a six-figure business. Though this book is not about my success but yours, you may find it inspiring that an average housewife like myself was able to build the business and then sell it for a good profit.

not what I expect but was ok.

was looking for more of how to make this into a business...I got that but only 25% of the book near the end..the rest was general soap making info...but what business info I did get was worth the price of the book.

Thank you Suzanne!

Thank you for writing and narrating this book. I am so glad I chose it!

I’m new to soap making and this book is a helpful guide with step by steps instructions on starting and growing your own soap making business. I greatly appreciate the author choice to write this book and share her knowledge and experience with fellow soap makers despite her inexperience as a writer.

I ordered a physical copy of the book but figured I’d listen to it first so I would be familiar with the process once the book arrives. Looking forward to getting my copy and trying out the recipes.

Good guideline to soapmaking

I enjoyed the audible and it helped me get inside perspective in all that is entailed in soap making. Now I just need to create some natural soaps that are trending in the market and start my business from home.

Useful takeaways >> >> fast forward first chapters

Overall a lot of useful information for any level crafter if you fast forward the existential first chapters (i.e. "why is this right for you?", "should you do this?" etc.). If you bought the book, you're obviously interested. Next edition might benefit if those chapters are moved to the end of the book and it starts with the interesting "how to's" straight away.
