"Soapmaking is a wonderful hobby that combines both science and art. No matter your reason for jumping into the craft of soapmaking, one thing is for certain...your skin will thank you! What we put ON our bodies is just as important as what we put IN our bodies. When you make your own soap, you can control what you put on your body by choosing skin loving oils and butters such as olive oil and shea butter, beneficial additives such as herbs and clays and natural essential oils such as lavender and tea tree that you can mix and combine to create powerful aromas.

Many soap makers begin their soapmaking journey to help relieve their skin condition or a family member's skin condition." -- (Source of summary not specified) Recreational maker kits will enhance the lives of patrons of the Abilene Public library by enabling them to explore a variety of handicrafts.
