200 Tips, Techniques, and Recipes for Natural Beauty Paperback – Illustrated, September 15, 2014

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.

This is the only book I’m going to keep in my library. The recipes organized in a clear manner, easy to find for busy working woman. Only relevant info. Even tables of recipes components, so you can use your creativity to make something new. Without exaggeration, this the only book you need to learn how to do your own products. All with pictures of “how to” such as how melt butters, etc. I wish I found this book before wasting my money on 3 rambling bla-bla.

This book is very helpful and they tell you what’s best for your skin and how to apply etc.

I'm new to the world of making my own skin and hair care products and found this book to have some great basic information that was helpful to a newbie. There was a few basic recipes but by and large most of the recipes were requiring multiple ingredients that I didn't have on hand. I found myself going back to the internet to find simpler recipes that were easier to start with so that I could get started without spending a fortune on ingredients. Over time as I built up my ingredients collection and gained more experience, I developed a greater appreciation for this book. I've learned enough to now be comfortable with using her tables as a framework for creating my own recipes which is a lot more fun than following one. I also have done enough research over time to were I can start to recognize a bad recipe and know there is a lot of bad advice floating around on the internet. This book is a reliable source of good ideas.

So so so worth it. This book has easy recipes for products but also is helpful in outlining the benefits of different ingredients, so you can learn how to customize recipes for what you need. I had such dry painful lips and made one of their lip balms... completely fixed in less than 24 hours. Looking forward to making more!

Nice book. Good reference, but not exactly helpful in the one thing I was looking for - but did give me a good idea to further research. Added to library.

I love that this book not only gives you recipes for all natural beauty products you can make at home but it also explains what types of different ingredients there are, what they're exactly for, and even if they'll be expensive to buy. I haven't made anything yet but I have read it, and will try a lot of the recipes once I can get the ingredients.

I purchased this book because I wanted to learn more about creating my own homemade beauty products. I am glad I did. It is filled with tons of valuable information and recipes for everything from head to toe. I believe this was listed as one of the recommended books on the Mountain Rose Herbs website (although I could be mixing this up with a different source). Regardless, this is definitely a worthwhile purchase. I have referenced it multiple times both for gathering recipes and for learning about different tips such as what base butters work best for different skin needs, etc.

I love this book- I’ve made such a variety of things and all the recipes have been pretty simple, easy to follow and turn out well. From bath bombs, body cleanser, hand cream, face cream, face masks and there’s so much left for me to try. I’ve bought a few books on this topic and this is my favourite so far

Libro interessantissimo

Está muy bueno con muy buenos consejos y recetas. Está en inglés!!

Excellent description of Mother Earth’s amazing ingredients along with excellently designed formulations. A great reference tool for people starting out in their skin care product design journey!

Great for a beginner, but you gotta make sure to plan a head of the time and order the required ingredients according to the recipes (herbs, vegetable oils/and butters, essential oils, clays etc.). If you're strictly vegan consider that Lanolin is used in some of the recipes; Lanolin is wool fat from domestic sheep breeds).
