  • A Must-Have For Every Natural Soap Maker!
This book is an absolute gem for anyone who loves natural soap making, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro! The author's passion for her craft shines through every page, with clear instructions, beautiful photography, and recipes that feel like they're straight from the heart. What I love most about this book is how approachable it is. The author breaks down the process in a way that’s easy to follow but still inspires creativity. You can tell she poured her soul into every detail, sharing not just recipes but also her knowledge and love for all-natural ingredients. It’s disheartening to see a single bad review because this book is truly a reflection of her dedication and expertise. If you're here because you follow her on Instagram, you already know how much joy and knowledge she shares with her community. This book is an extension of that positivity and creativity. For anyone on the fence, don’t let one negative comment deter you. This book is a masterpiece, and the author deserves all the love and support for her hard work! Keep shining, and know that your work is making a difference in the lives of so many aspiring soap makers! Thank you for inspiring us all! - Courtney (@signandcandleco) ... show more

  • Wonderful, detailed book for soapmakers!
This is a meticulously researched, well-written, and extremely informative book. I’m an experienced, professional soapmaker myself, and I can tell you that Simi is a wonderful teacher. I have both used her soap and tried her techniques myself, and the book is such a great resource for anyone who is seriously interested in natural, cold process soapmaking. I find a lot of her advice to be spot on and super helpful. The photos are stunning, and you can just tell that she’s done so much work to gather the correct information in order to help you make really good soap. The recipes are well-written, and easily adapted to your own personal preferences, and the science is explained extremely well. In this genre and field, it can be be challenging to find a truly technically-sound resource that doesn’t rely on hearsay and oft-repeated material lifted from bloggers — this book is a gem. Highly recommend for anyone who is serious about soapmaking but also wants a beautiful book to enjoy! ... show more

  • This is THE book you NEED!
Simi is a fantastic teacher! As soon as I received her book, I read it front to back in one sitting. I could not put it down! This is the BEST book on soaping I have ever read, and I have read a few. After reading her book, I promptly mailed ALL of my other soaping books to my brother. As a registered nurse and the owner of a magnesium lotion company, I like to know the "why" behind what I am doing. I do not like to walk blindly into anything without meticulous research. This book has that and more. Simi explains soap making in the analytical and methodical way that my brains needs. She is also artistic, and has the SAME values as far as natural and sustainable ingredients go. Simi THANK YOU for helping this CO girl achieve her dream of natural soap making! I was terrified, and now I am SO excited. - INFINITE HARVEST ... show more

  • Detailed, photos, exceptional
First her videos are amazing. She is super smart. Knows how to teach and is so easy and calming to listen and watch her videos. I love this book. She's just down right talented. Beautiful photos. If you listen to her videos, you can hear her in the words of the book. Good job little lady. P.s. kiddos to your hubby for a great job with the videos. ... show more

  • Excellent!
Excellent book! While I don't typically like books with different recipes, since I already have my recipe down, this book has incredible tips and ideas. Which made me reformulate my recipe 😋 and make it much better. I love the section about essential oils, which is the actual reason I bought this book. All in all this book is super for makers of all stages. ... show more

  • Great book ! Full of recipes, tips, resources and a heart for soaping!
I am so excited about this book!, I have been listening to “muddy minty” on line. The author has LOTS of beautiful pictures, a must for me! She has clear instructions, great and creative ideas and suggestions. She speaks from experience from her own soaping journey, which is so valuable to us all. This is a great resource for those of us who are teetering between soaping as a hobby and business. I also enjoy listening to her on line as Muddy Mint. Best of Luck as you continue your amazing soaping journey Simi! ... show more
