Description
🧼 Real soap, made by you, scented with the Australian bush — lemon myrtle, eucalyptus, quandong and wattleseed, in bars that outlast anything in a plastic pump pack.
Ten complete, original bar soap recipes from Tina's own bench, every one weighed to the gram with the lye maths worked out AND shown, so you always know your bars are right. Eight cold process bars, one rustic hot-process bar cooked in the slow cooker, and one no-lye melt & pour bar for your very first weekend.
📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• 10 full recipes: Lemon Myrtle & Macadamia Classic, Eucalyptus & Tea Tree Bush Bar, Quandong & Kakadu Plum Glow Bar, Wattle Seed & Honey Scrub Bar, Macadamia Bastille (the gentle bar), Eucalyptus Sea Salt Bar, Charcoal & Tea Tree Detox Bar, Outback Red Clay (hot process), Finger Lime Melt & Pour, Calendula & Oat Milk Gentle Bar
• The lye calculation explained once, properly — SAP values, superfat percentages and water ratios — with a worked example you can reuse for any recipe, forever
• Tina's 10-step master cold process method, plus curing, cutting and storage guidance for bars that last
• Troubleshooting table (seizing, soda ash, crumbly cuts, fading scent), variations, and printable gift labels with the safety line built in
⚠️ LYE SAFETY DONE PROPERLY
A full safety chapter before any recipe: PPE, why lye always goes INTO water, ventilation, correct first aid (lots of running water — and why vinegar is for benches, never skin), safe storage and labelling. Respect first, confidence second, beautiful soap third.
🌿 THE AUSSIE BIT
Every bar carries Australian natives: lemon myrtle brighter than lemon, tea tree and eucalyptus from our own bush, desert quandong, vitamin-C champion Kakadu plum, roasted wattleseed, and silky macadamia oil — Australia's own. Honest swap notes in every recipe if a bush ingredient is out of stock near you.
