I have experimented with homemade health and beauty products in the past but have always lacked the time and confidence to make clean, DIY beauty a fully realized lifestyle, so for me, this book is everything!The first section is an organized breakdown (ingredients and effects) of typical store-bought products, all delivered in a way that is actually interesting to read and easy to understand…It offers a really great crash course & reference guide to what we put on our face and bodies.The second section is the reason I will keep this book forever and will probably gift it to everyone I know this coming holiday season. It is basically a recipe bible with easy-to-follow instructions of pretty much every skincare product you would ever want or need.There are some more advanced areas for those who want to got the extra step of making their own ingredients (I.E. dehydrating your plant powder instead of buying), which is insightful and something to aspire to…but for beginners or those with limited time, like me, the recipes and ingredients are still fully accessible. So far I've made lip balm, scalp serum and the shea butter face cream...all feel and work like magic. There is a bug spray recipe that is next on my queue & so many others I can't wait to try. Honestly couldn't recommend this book enough.

This book is informative. It has beautiful photos and includes a lot of recipes to get the reader started on plant-based beauty products.

I bought this to use as a guide when making homecare for facials and body care products. This has so much information you won't be disappointed

Its a good book

I absolutely am living this book it explains things in easy language thats so important being fairly new to alit of terms didnt no what synergy was how to create it and needing the fragrances to sit awhile to bloom the layout is fantastic the recipes that are included give you natural ingred and options to expand and customize to your pref. I read the book on kindle and had to have it so pleased with the writter / creator . look forward to other books by this author cant wait to make the spray (pump) deodorant .

Love love love this book! As an aromatherapist with a skin food line I have found so many new ideas and great recipes and formulas to help the body mind spirit. So professional and written with incredible knowledge of essential oils. Everyone needs this in their library. You can find ways to help so many issues.. headaches stress sleep problems and much more!

The recipes for your digs are on another page why not on that very page idk.It has mouth wash, deodorant, bug spray, scalp treatment, bath, and body but no toothpaste. This is the second book I got missing toothpaste!! How frustrating.The book is beautiful and does have a lot of very nice recipes. It’s a good add to library. But not the best.

This book has been so helpful in my natural skincare journey, It us so packed full of information it was thorough and if your like myself someone who is Offering skincare services you can never be to well versed in how natural products affect the skin, amazing book all around.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is great for learning the basics of hand made beauty products. It has pleanty of recipes that you can try at home easily.

Love this book

This is a wonderful book for beginners and more experienced makers like myself. Having researched natural butters and oils a bit already and made some creams and oils myself, I'm at a point where I want to learn more, and bring my love and experience of herbalism to making facial and body creams oils. This book is all that I wanted and hoped for, with loads more. The lovely writers are aromatherapists, among other things, and their knowledge, experience and passion for plants is clear in every part of this book. Things I love the most are the very detailed but clearly laid out lists of chemical constituents and properties for essential oils, oils and butters, a few of which I have never heard of (tomato seed oil, who knew?!) and plants. I didn't expect a chapter on infusing some of my favourite healing plants, although I hoped they would appear somewhere, nor a whole section on fruits! I love this book! I have learnt so much already from a couple of hours of browsing and have barely glanced at the recipes. If you are a beginner or more experienced maker and want to learn more about natural plant products and making face and body creams, scrubs and oils, this is a brilliant book to have. I can't recommend it enough.

I had hoped for many more lotion recipes
