Amazon.com Review

You don't have to spend a fortune at upscale toiletries shops to amass a wonderful collection of soul-satisfying beauty products. Beauty consultant Casey Kellar has filled The Good Earth: Bath, Beauty, & Health Book with simple formulas for cleansers, masks, perfumes, lotions, toners, hair care materials, bath items, herbal remedies, eye balms, hand and foot treatments, soaps, and even mouthwash. Tempting recipes and lovely photos help you transform your home into a mini-spa using common household goods like baking soda, vanilla, and spices, and some readily available specialty articles like essential oils, glycerin, and beeswax (which are available at pharmacies and health food stores). Most products have a shelf life of at least a few months, so you can concoct lots of potions at once and then enjoy them for some time to come, and you'll know exactly what you're pampering yourself with, since everything's all natural. If you can bear to part with any of these goodies, you can also assemble one of the suggested gift packages for a friend. --Amy Handy

4.0 out of 5 stars Scent Sensitivity and the Beauty Products Junkie, September 13, 2001

By 

Jenny Doerr (Peoria, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Good Earth Bath, Beauty & Health Book (Paperback)

For me, it was love at first glimpse. I grabbed this book and raced to the nearest checkout lane. I couldn't wait to get home and read it from cover to cover.

I am a self-proclaimed "beauty Products Junkie" and addict. There are worse things to be addicted to. My one problem is that I have fairly sensitive skin and am sensitive to overpowering scents. I also get migraines on a regular basis.

There's nothing worse for a migraineur and cosmetic-junkie than to get home with a fabulous new product, only to realize that the scent makes you sick! This book teaches you how to make your own homemade products with your own custom-blended scents. I am now able to smell good and FEEL good at the same time.

I've discovered which scents I like and can tolerate and am able to make products with those scents using fragrance and essential oils. Don't limit yourself to the fragrance and essential oils available to you in your town or city, however. Explore the internet for websites that sell fragrance oils and essential oils. You will find many, many different scents. Choose an odd one and you'll be guaranteed not to wear the same fragrance as your friends and co-workers do!

This is a great beginner book for those who want to try to make their own personal care products. Easy to follow recipes using products that are readily available at your local health food store with some being available at your regular grocery store. Good variety of recipes.
