How to Make Your Own Organic Cosmetics: Face Masks, Hair Rinses & Body Lotions: Recipes for Natural Beauty Reviews

There are no recipes for these bases. Starting from a commercial base takes all of the fun out. There are many other books available that include the basic base recipes as well as the suggested additives. Try "Making Aromatherapy Creams & Lotions" by Donna Maria if you want some serious recipes. 46 of 49 people found the following review helpful:  Explore Your Natural Beauty, By Lilac Lily (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: How to Make Your Own Organic Cosmetics: Face Masks, Hair Rinses & Body Lotions: Recipes for Natural Beauty (Paperback) This book provides a nice introduction to organic cosmetics that you can easily prepare at home. It starts out by explaining all the reasons why home-made cosmetics are much healthier for you and how your skin benefits from natural ingredients only. The book contains many beautiful pictures and the recipes are well written so they are easy to follow.With each recipe there is an explaination about the specific benefits for using it. The only flaw that I found though is the list of the cosmetic product suppliers. First of all there aren't any websites, which I believe in this day and age is an absolute must. And when I tried to research the companies over the internet I couldn't find any of them. So that left me with the question where in the world I could get a "cream or lotion base" from, which is something many of the recipes call for. But over all it is a very nice book!Reading it makes you want to jump right into mixing your own cosmetic line. 27 of 28 people found the following review helpful: sparce info on the basic recipes, By This review is from: How to Make Your Own Organic Cosmetics: Face Masks, Hair Rinses & Body Lotions: Recipes for Natural Beauty (Paperback) I bought this book hoping to learn how to make basic skin care products, only to discover that the vast majority of recipes call for a "lotion base" or the like. The book does not give instructions on how to make a "lotion base" and the list of suppliers was pretty grim. She does seem to have a very keen sense of fragrance combination and the photos are fun but overall it did not provide much useful info about making skin-care products from scratch. |
