Wonderful Book
Excellent presentation of information. The formula's or recipes are simple and easy to use. I have not used any of them but instead the book gave me the foundation I was looking for to produce my own. I am a Master Distiller studying the history of spirits and how they were used for much more than just drinking. I forage all kinds of herbs and flowers and now produce all kinds of herbal medicine, essential oils, hydrosols, skins care products and perfumes in the way they were made back in the 17th and 18th century. This book helped me a lot in getting to various levels.

Thank you.
Appropriate easy to use and well put book. The type of information here is better than going to school as esthetician.

Complicated and NOT Natural
Don’t believe all of this book’s claims about being all-natural and nontoxic. The first section is all right, using decent ingredients to make skin care products (although it’s not particularly well-written), but part two completely switches gears. The “cosmetic formulation” section is full of super-complicated formulas using lab-created ingredients, including PEG, lake dyes, BHT, parabens, maltodextrin, hydrogenated oils, and many other chemicals that I don’t want anywhere near my skin! Save yourself the time and energy and find a resource with recipes that actually use natural ingredients.

Great Info for Natural Skin Care
As a maker of organic soaps, lotions, & bath products, I am always interested in learning about natural ingredients in personal hygiene products. I found these books very easy to read & understand with clear explanations of ingredients, what they do, & variation recipes for making products. She explains the difference between products such as moisturizer vs face cream or lotion vs. body butter which some people think are one & the same. It is very helpful for both novice & professional.

Needs more research
This book is great if you want skincare recipes that’ll last a day or two. Not only was the book filled with recipes that I was able to find on different websites, there are no peer reviewed sources. No interviews. No information that’s collaborated with cosmetic formulators or chemists.
