Summary: Not alot of info here
Comment: This short book provides just the bare basics of making your own body products such as toners and lotions. Unfortunately, there aren't alot of recipes here. The recipes are basic and unremarkable. Besides that, the some of the photos have nothing to do with making your own skin care products. A photo of a woman tossing her hair back? A woman shampooing her hair? I wouldn't have a problem with photos like this usually but since they each take up whole pages of glossy photo pages, it makes me wonder why this book costs as much as it does for being under 100 pages long...From what I can tell, this book is apparently a joint venture between the author and Somerset Co...I just ignore the brand and focus on the instruction. Unfortunately, there is not alot of instruction to speak of here. The author does not provide any credentials, even though she states in her bio that she has been a nurse, and she does not list the colleges she apparently graduated from...luckily, I bought this from Amazon.com Marketplace so I didn't pay much. Don't buy this new. Get it used or rent it from the library.

Summary: South African perspective
Comment: After almost a year's intense research and purchasing a number of cosmetic and soapmaking books, I have very high praise for this one!
This book allows a person to make TRULY natural cosmetics, that can even be resold- ie. start a small company.
The book uses brand new chemicals that are naturally formulated eg. sorbitan cocoate etc.
However, the hobbiest might struggle with small amounts of ingredients and finding the chemicals can be a monumental task. Even trying to find these ingredients while visiting the UK was impossible. It seems the USA is already in full swing with these new ingredients. Other companies around the world are still using synthetic ingredients it seems, either due to price or inability to source outside the US or Canada....

Summary: Great Recipes for Natural Cosmetics
Comment: I have really enjoyed making my own lotion, shower gel, hand soap, etc. with the recipes from this book. The cosmetics are commercial quality, and have wonderful vitamins and botanical ingredients that are so mild for my skin.
My husband has a lot of contact with chemicals at work, so his hands are often chapped and irritated. The lotion is the best thing we have found over the counter to keep his hands moist and not irritated. And I even use the same lotion on my face twice a day!
So if you are interested in making your own healthy cosmetics, I recommend this book.
