    About the Author

    INTRODUCTION

    Canary Crystal Soap

    I received an email from a soap crafter who asked about buying sulfate free melt and pour soap base. I sent her some links, as I use a variety of different soap bases. Then I got to thinking: why not try only sulfate-free and/or organic bases and see if there really is a difference. So, I used up and donated most of my stash of sulfate-containing soaps and ordered organic and sulfate free soap bases.

    Environmentally friendly soap can be made in your own kitchen. All the soaps in this book are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. You control what goes into your soap whether you want it unscented and uncolored, or full of skin loving additives, aromas and colors. You can help the environment by using the most biodegradable products available. It’s an empowering feeling!

    Ever since I learned about the joy of melt and pour soap crafting back in 1998, I came across the term syndet, short for synthetic detergent. The reason for the soapy snub is that many melt and pour glycerin soap bases contained sulfates, along with other undesirable ingredients like propylene glycol and preservatives. Made from scratch soap contained none of those things.

    Increasingly prevalent on the market due to consumer demand are soap bases that contain milder ingredients. These soap bases have vegetable glycerin, a skin-softening emollient, listed at or near the beginning of the ingredients listing. Such high quality soap bases are safe for anyone to melt and pour in their kitchen in less than an hour. Do you want to find out how easy it is? If so, read on!
