I am disappointed in this book. The recipes are easy to follow but there are not very many of them that I really want to use. I wanted some basics, foot scrubs, facial scrub, body lotion, etc. Well, the recipes have many ingredients and most I would have to order on-line or go to a specialty store for. I cannot just pick up the items when I am shopping at a grocer or natural foods store.
I have other books that I have purchased that I use a lot more.
The only thing I really liked about this book is the chemistry (i.e. the mixing of essential oils for certain ailments and the dilution of potent essential oils.

Selecting IngredientsStore-bought beauty products are often laden with synthetic ingredients, fake fragrances, unnatural fillers, and irritating chemicals. The best thing about creating your own beauty products is that you can know exactly what you’re putting on your skin and feel confident that it is nourishing and pure. At the very heart of your handmade beauty products will be the natural, organic, and wild-harvested ingredients that you select. This chapter will guide you through choosing and using the absolute best ingredients that Mother Nature has to offer. |
Tools and SuppliesOne of the main advantages of creating kitchencrafted natural beauty products is that you will most likely already have in your kitchen many of the utensils and equipment needed to prepare the recipes in this book.

Very Informative & Resourceful Book! Love it!
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2020
Love this book. I am so glad I got it! Excellent reference & informational book. I like how it’s broken down so easily to read & understand. It does a good job covering the more common, natural butters, salts, sugars, clays, and carrier oils. I found the profilings of the carrier oils & essential oils extremely helpful. I love the tips, tricks & the variety of recipes, including, cleansers, lotions, shampoos, masks, scrubs, salves, etc... In addition, I really appreciate the encouragement & suggestions in making your own alterations to the recipes. The chapters are broken down by ingredients, tools, hair care, facial care, body care and lastly perfumes, which is something I’ve recently became interested in learning more about.
