Great for Beginners

Kelly Reno has done a great job of writing books that are helpful for those just starting out. It is amazing that you can make your own lotions and change the scents to match yourself or your friends. The lotions are heavy and greasy, but I think its because our idea of lotions are those that are so heavy with lotions (with alcohols) that we expect it to soak right in instead of using the healing properties of the oils.The bath beads turned out great. My first batch was great, but all the rest (go figure) I had to add a little more dry product to it so it wasn't so sticky. Its like cooking, its all an experiment and you just have to "season" it the way you like it.Highly reccommended!

Good Clean Fun

A great little book of recipes to pamper body and soul. Good recipes with readily available ingredients and easy to follow directions. The end results appear almost as if by magic.

Great book for anyone who wants to laern how to make cosmeti

Kelly Reno's book was very helpful and full of useful information about making cosmetics in the kitchen. I have made many of the lotions/creams with great success. Good ideas for packaging products as well
