This booklet has a well-organized array of hand creams and treatments that are pretty simple to make. Because of the lack of preservatives in the formulas, most of the finished products have a limited shelf life and need to be kept in the refrigerator. I would say that people who suffer from dry, chapped hands will find this book most helpful.

This should be put in a section for pamphlets and not books :) It wasnt expensive, so that is good. And it does have some nice little recipes for hand treatments. I do like it. I should of just paid attention to the length of the book so it wouldnt of been a surprise when I openened my package. I ordered it with another book and at first thought they only sent one of them, then realized this was hiding behind the packing slip, lol. It is informative but you can breeze through the whole thing in about 30 minutes or an hour at most. But it is informative and unlike other recipe books, it does actually tell you how much to use of each ingredient to make a actual product.

1. This is a pamphlet, not a book. It contains as much information as a small New York Times article.

2. You can get all the information in this pamphlet off the interweb. Google it.

Seriously, save yourself the money, spend 10 minutes on the interweb and find all the recipes and guides yourself.

As someone who works in adverse weather conditions, I put my hands through the ringers... and I do not like to use harsh chemicals on my body because I only have one and I want to be good to it. I loved the recipies in this book and have found a few to be extremely useful and practical.

This book is very informative about homemade creams and soaps. Easy to follow and understand. thanks sally

This book is short and sweet and gets right to the point. It features some interesting recipes from a few different contributors as well as personal notes on each recipe and general hand and nail care.

Good little book. I work with my hands & need a good cream without all the allergens- nice to be able to make one's own. Not a ton of recipes, but the ones in it are useful.

Got what I paid for at a good price. The book was factual and helpful.

The book was very imformative...I am always looking for more recipes and this one has them.

Haven't had time to experiment yet, but the book looks very interesting. I'm sure I'll really enjoy it. Thank you for the speedy delivery.
