very good book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
very easy recipes for making your own beauty products. I loved the soap recipes, but you do need to start with a basic soap and shred it and remold, so you're really just "adding" to a soap that's already been made. Very basic, fun recipes, great for kids! I am a huge olive oil fan, and I really enjoyed making some wonderful olive-oil products.
Simple, fun recipes

I've bought a number of natural beauty books, and this is one that I use again and again. The recipes are simple enough to put together in 10 minutes, which is very important to me--I know it's lazy, but if a recipe takes too much prep work, I usually won't fit it into my schedule. Another thing I like is that the recipes are in small batches; I can try them out without wasting a lot of expensive ingredients if I decide I don't like the recipe (and because they're natural, they're less likely to do natural things like grow mold or go rancid before I'm done using them). I've had no problem finding all of the ingredients on the web--it would be hard to shop for them in a grocery store. The author gives you enough guidance to start as a beginner, with lots of encouragement to try out your own adaptations.
I wouldn't be without this book!

This is the neatest book. I'm allergic to most face cleansers and mosturizers so now I make my own with essential oils and carrier oils, and this is the book that showed me how. There are many blends to use. Very easy to understand instructions. Just all out a fine book!
