Soap from Vegetable Oils: Principles and Practice

There are two types of books about soap making. The first type provides many recipes for soap making without explaining why those recipes work or why they are effective. I would categorize this type as a handbook of recipes for soap makers. The second type contains extensive scientific information, offering detailed theoretical explanations of the chemistry and physics of soap making. This inspired me to write this book, which combines elements of both types. However, I aim to keep it simple and concise. Therefore, you will find only the essential information needed to understand the science of soap making and apply it in practice. After you finish reading this book, I am sure that you will become an artist in soap making because you can create any recipes for your soaps without any limitations. The only limitation is your imagination.
