Hello! I am new to soap/toiletry making and was just wondering if anyone knows of any good places or books that are helpful in letting someone like me learn all the basics. I have no idea how to calculate percentages of ingredients or what certain terms mean. I'm trying to learn herr and there, but it'd be helpful if there was somewhere just for beginners. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Anne-Marie has some great videos and blog posts for all different types of Bath & Body items:

What kind of products were you planning on starting with first?

Welcome!
I would start with this page> http://www.millersoap.com/
then go here> viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3800
If you want a book, I would suggest any soap books from Alicia Grosso.
