Soap Mastery: Beginner Soap Making: Easily Create Your First Soap, Shampoo & Conditioner (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781532868948)

Luanna Wallis is an independent Australian non-fiction author located on the NSW Central Coast, she is married and has two daughters, aged 12 and 14 years old. Having suffered from depression and with an educational background in psychology, she wrote 'Train Your Brain To Be Happy'. Part of the depression recovery process for her was finding an activity to keep her baseline happiness level high and so she discovered soap making. There's something about soap making that is so addictive and it continues to play a major part in bringing her happiness and keeping her grounded. Starting her soap making journey with the hot-process method and closely followed by the cold-process method, she eventually wanted to try liquid soap making but found that books on the topic were scarce, outdated and confusing, and that no-one seemed to know how to formula a shampoo or conditioner recipe. After discovering that liquid soap making was no more difficult than bar soap making, she was motivated to begin her next writing adventure, namely the 'Soap Mastery' series, starting with her first book, "Beginner Soap Making." Luanna is a part of several online soap making groups and is happy to answer and soaping questions from her readers in that forum. She does not sell her soaps, but she does donate her soap to her local 'Ronald McDonald House' charity as well as gifting soaps and shampoos to her friends and family.
