One of the first books I bought on soap making!  And if you are nervous about starting from scratch, there are recipes using grated soap for which our soap base is ideal.  

This cute 53 page A5 paperback book contains all you need to know to make your own aromatherapy soaps.  Easy to follow instructions are given for a simple method of soap making using basic ingredients and utensils, including a Saponification Values Chart for your vegetable oils for Potassium Hydroxide and Sodium Hydroxide which helps reduce the guess work!
