Product Description

Over 60 recipes for natural beauty organic makeup made easy.

Natural and organic are the buzz words in cosmetics. Even for over-the-counter products, everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Jack Nicholson is going organic when it comes to beauty. This beautiful book shows you how to make your own handcrafted, organic makeup, soap, and perfume using essential oils and other natural ingredients. Lush, Origins, the Body Shop, Kiehl's, and Neal's Yard are all packed with customers eager to find the next organic facial mask, rejuvenating skin cream, deodorant, or body lotion. With this book, you can personalize your beauty regimen without standing in line and without spending tons of money. The Natural Beauty Recipe Book features a range of recipes for quick-and-easy daily products you can make at home: face cleansers, eye cleansers, toners, moisturizing creams and gels, cold cream cleanser, hand cream, body lotion, lip balm, face masks, rejuvenating treatments, liquid shampoos, hair bars, conditioners, rinses, hair nourishing treatments, deodorants, mouthwashes, aftershaves, eye baths, soaps and scents.
