Does your skin feel dry, irritated, or itchy after using store-bought soaps?
When my son was a toddler, he had eczema and allergies, and every store-bought soap seemed to make things worse - drying out his skin and leaving it inflamed.
I knew there had to be a better way, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and start making our own soap and body care products.
In this eBook collection, you'll learn the exact process I used to make soaps that helped my son's skin heal - and that I've been using for my family ever since.
"Love, love Jan’s eBooks on soap making. I had never made soap before but with her instructions it was so easy! My first soap turned out beautiful!"
"As a beginner I have been reading a lot about soapmaking. I’d like to live in respect with nature and was so happy that your Ebooks came my way. They are a great inspiration!"
"I was extremely surprised and pleased with the detailed information, resources and an extensive library of recipes. I can’t wait to start making and broadening my soap selection."
This bundle contains everything you need to start making luxurious, cold-process soap at home, including:
A 43-page troubleshooting guide to help pinpoint the reasons for when your soap won't reach trace, turns out too hard, soft, crumbly, and all sorts of other unexpected problems you may run into when making your own soap.
A 3-page reference chart to help you easily find the usage rates for over 30 soap additives, plus notes on when to add them during the soapmaking process, and what benefits or appeal they add.
A 4-page soapmaking checklist to help you stay organized when making batches of soap.

Nourishing, natural ingredients: From essential oils to milks and botanicals, create soaps that are as gentle and soothing as nature intended.
Perfect for sensitive skin: If you’re tired of soaps that dry you out or cause rashes, this is the perfect solution.
Say goodbye to harsh detergents: Store-bought soaps are full of synthetic ingredients that can irritate your skin. By making your own, you control every ingredient.
"Having made basic soap recipe with good results, these books go further explaining how better to improve your product. Great directions, very intuitive and wonderful photos!!"
"Jan without your book I don’t think I would have been brave enough to start making soap in the first place. You had all the information in a concise, easy to understand format and I felt confident not confused with my first go around. I still refer to your book all the time and it will always be a very valuable asset!."
"I love your Natural Soap Making e-book! Every section is to the point, detailed and easy to understand. It has a great selection of recipes! I would definitely recommend this book to everyone!"
If you are looking for melt and pour soaps, this isn't the right product for you. Instead, please check out my print book “Easy Homemade Melt & Pour Soaps” – no handling of lye required! :)

You’ll be able to download the files immediately after purchase. If you have entered your correct email address, you will also receive a followup email from BookFunnel (a trusted eBook delivery service that many authors, including myself use), which offers even more ways to download or view your books.
For Kindle:
You will need to email the PDF file to your Kindle device. Each Kindle has a unique email address associated with it. To know what yours is, go to Amazon.com –> Manage Your Content & Devices. Next, click the “Your Devices” tab and you’ll see all of the devices associated with your account. Each one will have a unique email. Send an email to your @kindle.com address with the PDF file as an attachment. It should soon after be available in your Kindle library.
For iPad:
PDF files can be opened and read with the free apps iBooks or Adobe Reader. (Or use the BookFunnel app, following the links in the followup email.) Please note that a small subset of iPhone and browser/phone carrier/printer combinations may cause conflict with certain pdf files. If this happens, try using a different type of device first, and if that doesn't eliminate the problem, please let us know for further troubleshooting!
If you're printing from a phone, try using a desktop or laptop instead, or ask a local print shop (like Staples) or library instead. Virtually all printing errors that I've helped troubleshoot have been related to trying to print from a mobile phone, with iPhone being the most common incompatibility. If you try a different device and still run into print problems, please let me know at hello@thenerdyfarmwife.com and I'll be happy to help. While I've tested the files with Windows, Apple, and Linux devices from my home, it's impossible to test and troubleshoot all of the many browser/phone carrier/printer combinations that a customer may have, so we will give a refund if no solution is found.
This is the standard procedure for the shopping cart system I use (PayHip), for when a customer buys a bundle containing multiple files at once. You create an account in order to access all of the eBooks and files in one convenient place. The eBooks and bonus files will also be delivered to you via followup email. When buying single eBooks one at a time, you do not need to make an account.
