GREAT BOOK!

Having tossed all my chemical laden beauty products years ago and disappointed with most of the organic brands (many of which were mixed with harmful ingredients, such as talc and SLS), I finally decided to make my own. I purchased several all natural beauty books from Amazon, often disappointed. Most of the recipes were simply a combination of essential oils and carriers (sweet almond oil, unscented lotion, castille soap), and I felt I could figure these things out on my own. No so with "The Ultimate Natural Beauty Guide"! I've made moisturizers using rose petals, beeswax and other natural ingredients; cleansers using aloe vera or milk and borage flower; fresh rosewater toner; my own tinted lip balm and cheek tint; facial dusting powder and more! Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun book, August 3, 2006

Love it! Lots of recipes that you can easily make at home for far less than you would pay for commercial preparations. The best part is they are better for your health and therefore more effective beauty treatments than what you pay an arm and a leg for in the store.

Using the recipes in this book for a girls night in of facials and pedicures is great fun!
