Herbs for Natural Beauty: Create Your Own Herbal Shampoos, Cleansers, Creams, Bath Blends, and More. a Storey Basics(r) Title

Simple, all natural, easy and comprehensive.

This is a great little book of recipes. I go to this all the time when I making a lotion or some type of beauty product. Rosemary is so great, all of her books are the best.

First off: I love this author's books-after buying this one, I purchased her herbal book for women. This is an awesome book for those like myself who prefer shopping at natural food stores and if you like the idea of making your own beauty products. Rosemary has a warm and friendly style in this well written, easy to read book. I really like how she has enriched the book with personal beauty stories and tips not just recipes. It is a fun little book making use of herbs quite a bit with a lot of great info and recipes packed inside. Would make a great intro book to making your own products but is also a good resource for those with experience. Oh, and there is a good section defining the needed ingredients like cocoa butter,rosewater etc-she tells you what is is/what it does/and availability of the item-very helpful. Thanks to her I know that Borax makes the skin cleaner & softer-it is a great ingredient mined from the earth-not a scary manufactured chemical like I thought! I am happy to have this book as part of my natural beauty library. (I also enjoy using Janice Cox's natural beauty books.)

The only thing wrong with it is that it was TOO short! This book contains wonderfully easy and beautfully effective herbal concotions that offer you a variety of ways to spoil yourself. (-_-)

I really do. The only thing i didnt like is that with all books I love,it was simply not long enough for my taste! (Hence the 4 *'s instead of 5)The natural beauty recipes are not only easy but work wonderfully. This lady really seems to beleive in what she writes,too. I like that! She comes across as so open ,intelligent,gentle and kind. A very down to earth book by a very down to earth woman,in my opinion. I plan on purchasing more books not only by her but from Storey publishing.
