We have used many more resources than these, but these are some of the most frequented that we have cut our teeth on...(All recipes we use are our own formulations, with the exception of "Stone" Soap which is from soapmakingresource.com (no longer in business) which welcomed use of the recipe for sale--and it's a great soap!)
