Reseña del libro "COLD PROCESS SOAP MAKING (en Inglés)"
Turn Cold Process Soapmaking Into a More Controlled, Understandable ProcessCold process soapmaking becomes much easier to manage when you understand what is happening in the formula and why each ingredient, calculation, and processing step matters.Cold Process Soap Making takes you beyond simply following a recipe. It shows you how to work with oil percentages, SAP values, sodium hydroxide, water, superfatting, trace, curing, and formula verification so you can make informed decisions about your own batches.Inside this book, you will discover: - How oils, fats, sodium hydroxide, and water work together during cold process soapmaking- How to select oils and combine them to create purposeful soap formulas- How to calculate sodium hydroxide requirements using SAP values and apply a controlled superfat- How to calculate water using lye concentration and avoid common calculation errors- How to build, scale, verify, and recalculate multi-oil soap formulas- How to manage emulsion, trace, temperature, moulding, cutting, and curing- How to troubleshoot problems such as rapid thickening, false trace, separation, overheating, soft soap, and cutting difficulties- How to evaluate cured soap and refine a formula by changing one significant variable at a timeThe book includes practical formulation projects that take the calculations beyond theory, including building multi-oil formulas, scaling batches, comparing water settings, changing individual oils, and developing your own cold process formula.This book is designed for soapmakers who want to understand the reasoning behind their formulas rather than relying entirely on pre-written recipes. It is also useful for makers who want a clearer system for testing, recording, evaluating, and improving their batches.A Practical, Standalone GuideYou do not need another book to use this one. The essential principles, safety practices, calculations, production methods, curing guidance, troubleshooting, and formulation exercises are brought together in one focused resource.Part of THE SOAPMAKER'S CRAFT SERIESCold Process Soap Making is Book 2 in THE SOAPMAKER'S CRAFT SERIES, a collection of focused books covering different areas of soapmaking. Each volume is designed to stand on its own while giving readers an opportunity to explore additional aspects of the craft.After developing your understanding of cold process formulation, 100 Natural Soap Recipes provides a natural next step for exploring a wider collection of practical formulas, botanical blends, essential oil combinations, and creative handmade soaps.Build your knowledge, verify your formulas, and approach every batch with greater understanding. Start applying the principles of Cold Process Soap Making to your own soapmaking practice.
