Natural Beauty For Fun:
I find this book good fun for a teen girl's slumber party, but never use any of this stuff on a daily basis. I just never have everything I need for the recipes & find it easier to grab Burt's than get together all the ingredients for natural face wash. I like the book, I just rarely use it.
Grand fun for adventurous souls!:
I bought this book when it first came out and have thoroughly enjoyed making many of the "recipes" in the book.
Another reviewer noted that the author sometimes recommends petro-chemical based ingredients.
The beauty of any homemade potion is that YOU, the manufacturere and end-user are in complete control of what goes into the products you make.
Take the time to learn about the characteristics of the basic ingredients and you'll be custom-mixing exactly what you want in no time at all.... more info

Very good "Stuff":
My wife was introduced to parts of this book through work and decided to order the entire book. Very pleased with the recipes and ideas and such. Ended up ordering copies for our two daughters as well.
