Milk-Based Soaps: Making Natural, Skin-Nourishing Soap is a nicely laid out recipe book for creating homemade soaps with the inclusion of the often difficult ingredient, milk. Easy to follow and understand, the short book will introduce the reader to Casey Makela's ideas and talented creations.

I like her basic information regarding cold process soap making. I am not ready to try the milk based soaps yet but plan to work in that direction. I thought her directions were clear and easy to understand.

Some good recipes. Not sure about the process with milk. Also read you should freeze to keep from scorching when adding lye.
