This review is from: How to Make Your Own Organic Cosmetics: Soap and Scent: Recipes for Natural Beauty (Paperback)
This is the first book I bought to learn to make cold processed soap. The pictures are lovely and the content is good to a certain extent. I did make my first soaps from receipes in this book. I think this is a good starter book; however, if the art of soapmaking truly interests you, you will want to buy a more indepth book.

Don't waste your money. Get a more detailed soap making book.,
By Renaissance Woman "Renaissance Woman" (Oregon City, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Make Your Own Organic Cosmetics: Soap and Scent: Recipes for Natural Beauty (Paperback)
This book is clearly a marketing aid for a small number of suppliers listed in the Appendix. It is not a skin care recipe book. It tells you VERY briefly how to make cold processed soaps but the rest is full of pretty pictures and what essential oil to mix in what pre-made base - all of which you have to buy. It does not show you how to make any products in the sense that you have control over what goes in it. This book is ALSO a carbon-copy of another exact same book by the same publisher "Natural Beauty Recipe Book" (they got me twice!) Clearly this is a marketing aid for the suppliers. Don't waste your money. You can find WAY more (and free) detailed recipes and information about hand-made natural beauty products.
