I thoroughly enjoyed reading and LEARNING from this book. As a first-time writer, I sincerely think, the author did a great job. She was quite well organized, full of great ideas and quite methodical in her narrative. By doing so, she offered newcomers into the liquid soap making business, enough useful information as to ignite their passion into catapulting this hobby into a viable business. For this, I am grateful.
I rated this book 4 out of 5. I liked the way it was organized to be simple, straightforward and impactful especially for a novice in liquid soap making like myself. It will help to ignite the passion of anyone who has an entrepreneurial disposition towards liquid soap-making or similar products.

Pretty weak introduction to both soap and business
There are probably much better products out there if you want to learn about how to actually start a soap business. This book is extremely basic and doesn't provide much advice past a few recipies. Good for entry level pleasure reading I guess.

which can be annoying. But after finishing the book
Being a fiction writer myself, as I read this book, I did come across a few minor grammatical errors and such, which can be annoying. But after finishing the book, I realized, it is not about grammar, but usefulness of the content she shared here. To her defense, she did mention at the end of the book that she is a pro when it comes to writing. I got so much out of this book, that I think it will be silly not to overlook those mistakes as the value of her content sure outweighs everything else. I am giving it a 5 star.

DO not even waste your money or time with this book!!! AVOID!!!
This book is not worth your time or money it says dog shampoo and shampoo recipes and I was hoping a real formulas for those. But like everybody else it teaches you how to make shampoo off already made castile soap. I mean really?. And make dog shampoo with dish soap??? how ridiculous is that? and what I waste of my money. Make body wash with castile soap? these are good information for beginners... not if you sell, have a business or is already more than just a basic soap maker this book is definitely not for you. I just wish people posted real reviews about this book before I wasted my money purchasing it. There are no real recipes in this book other than mix and make stuff with products that are out there in the market already. Not recommended and I wish I could get my money back. AVOID!!!

Great read!
I got this book because I’m hoping to start an Etsy business making soaps and thought this book would help me on my way! So far so good, I like that this one is a longer book, sometimes the ebooks are kind of short. I’m focusing on the goat milk soap.
