It really is too bad that the author published her first book before anyone else could publish something with more accurate and flexible information, because she is now regarded as an expert in the soapmaking realm. Some basic problems with Cavitch are logistical and procedural. No one has to weigh water, no one needs to use some of the ingredients she calls for in every single recipe, such as grapefruit seed extract. Her recipes call for GSE because her overly superfatted soaps will go rancid without addition of this preservative. Why does she superfat so greatly? Some speculate she had a lousy scale and poor math skills in terms of calculating amounts of lye and accurate fat measurements back when she was learning this craft, and never bothered to perfect her science nor correct the recipe problems (and if you can get it in print and people buy it, well, you must be doing something right), it certainly is a logical reason for the way she does things. Cavitch is a good example of a good resource with serious limitations, she's done her homework on vegetable-based oils/fats and you get all kinds of great info on these, but it's clear she never researched thoroughly enough to make statements on things like the use of animal fats, using a stick blender rather than spoon for stirring to trace, etc. Soaping isn't rocket science, but it isn't a very strict methodology either, and there are far better resources on the web and mailing lists therein, where one can learn much more than this book promises, with a multitude of perspectives and approaches. Please don't buy into the hype and buy this book.

I selected Ms. Cavitch's books because they appeared to be the best of a mixed lot. They could, however, still use some improvement.
The Soapmaker's Companion is generally more valuable than its predicessor, The Natural Soap Book. Most of the descriptions of process, oils, colorants, and fragrance remain identical. The recipies are considerably improved for the new soapmaker, down to 3.75 lbs per batch from 10 lbs in the original book. And the newer book includes detailed chemistry with SAP values for most fats, fatty acid percentages, and a detailed lye calculator to assist in making your own recipies or modifying other's.
Unfortunately, the instructions, recipies, and troubleshooting have a way to go before they are foolproof. I just made my first batch of Soap Essentials II, and it took over two hours to trace. Mixing by hand. It was NO FUN. And, unless the recipie was wrong to start with, I have absolutely no idea *why*.
This may very well be the most complete book available for vegetable-based soaps and the easiest to follow, but it is not foolproof enough to be a sole resource for the beginner.

A very good book for intermediate to advanced soapers or those beginners who want a full understanding of the saponificaiton process before jumping in and making their first batch. The book is set up to follow the flow of experience...first third for beginners, middle third for intermediates, last third for advanced. There are other books on the market I would suggest as starter books. But if you intend to continue soaping, this book is a must.

Great for knowledge
This book is pretty technical and great for a general and advanced knowledge of soap making. I however found it a bit disappointing that it had more knowledge than actual soap... Lesen Sie weiter...

For serious soapmakers.
An excellent reference manual that's good for years of use. It's the only consumer-level soapmaking book I've seen that was written with the assistance of a professional chemist. Lesen Sie weiter...

A must-have for experienced soapmakers
I have used Susan Miller Cavitch's first book for some time now and was thrilled to find this on the shelf. Recipes are smaller, which may be a positive point for many readers. Lesen Sie weiter...
