Customer Review: dissapointing
The book gives great information on the basic ingredients for lotions , but theres no “SIMPLE beginners recipe” in here, except perhaps at the end in the “Beauty Food” chapter.
many of the recipes make such a small amount of lotion that youre measuring infintessimal amounts of ingredients.
I would have preferred to see a couple of simpler recipes included, using perhaps one or two easily available oils rather than a half dozen oils that all have to be specially ordered.
At the end of the book I find myself thnking, hmmm. I’m so glad this isnt the first book I read on how to make lotions and etc.
My final take on it is , Great if youre looking for inspiration, not so great if you think this will bring you the easy starter recipes .
Customer Review: Interesting recipes, but…
As the owner of a home-based Bath and Body Products business, I am always on the look out for new recipes to try, adapt, etc. Although there are some fabulous sounding recipes in this book, the use of hydrosols, Sea Berry and Rose Hip Seed Co2 (had never heard of them before, ever) make them way too complicated and expensive for someone who just wants to learn how to put together some simple cosmetics at home. Some of the ingredients, waxes in particular, I’d never even heard of. Perhaps someone living in the U.S. would have an easier time acquiring the “exotics,” but my excellent Canadian suppliers do not sell them. I also am not keen on her use of Borax in recipes as it can be a sensitizer for some people and there are gentler preservatives on the market one can use. I can’t say I’m completely disappointed, but a strong word of caution to those thinking that they’ll find easy “first timer” recipes in here — they won’t.
