Summary

Pamper yourself and your friends with luxurious soaps that artfully blend shape, color, fragrance, and texture. All of these soaps are ready to use in an hour! Making melt and pour soap is like simple cooking. You use a microwave oven (or double boiler) and ordinary kitchen supplies. You may not need to purchase anything except readily available glycerin soap base. Without any special skills, you can craft a Spring Botanical Soap, Pink Petals, Jeweled Raindrops, a Playful Bath Chain, and a Gardener's Soap. You'll find soaps with ingredients that exfoliate or add moisture, as well as those that are purely decorative. Book jacket.
