Relief At Last!

As someone who at one time used scents to help celebrate the joy of life, then was attacked by extreme environmental sensitivities, this book has been an eye-opener. I am in the process of making my own products for my pleasure and value the support this book has provided. In addition to containing none of the items that set off my respiratory problems, the products I make are unique, contain no unnatural preservatives and are less expensive than anything I have found on the commercial market.

GREAT BOOK!

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK RECOMMENDED BY MY DR! THE RECIPIES ARE EASY AND SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL BE AN INEXPENSIVE WAY TO MAKE MY OWN NON-TOXIC PRODUCTS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AS I HAVE A SERIOUS MEDICAL ISSUE WITH AN ESTROGEN OVERLOAD FROM PRODUCTS. OTHER DR'S HAVE SUGGESTED MAJOR SURGERY, I AM CHOOSING A LIFESTYLE CHANGE!

Natural Beauty Basics

I liked this book since the ingredients are obtainable and the recipes are fairly simplistic. The recipes in another book I read were so complicated that I wasn't even interested to try them but not so with this book - these are possible to do without alot of time invested. I also like the explanation of the attributes for the ingredients so if you want to substitute, you can look at the list and choose another one.

Easy Steps To Make Your Own Product

I found the information to be very simple. The products are available in most health food stores and they are fun to make.

Natural Beauty Cheap!

This book is great- I've tried a bunch of the recipes and they were actually pretty easy to make and worked well, unlike another book I have on making your own lotions and shampoos. I've tried the Lavender-Rosemary Deoderant and the Silky Smooth Liquid Soap that we use in our office. I've also recommend making these things with children- they make great presents. One of the unique things in this book is the Picnic Cleanser which works really well when travelling. The mouthwashes work great too!
