Summary: simply beautiful
Review: For quality crafted full body pampering products, I haven't found a better resource. Janice Cox's informative instructions take the reader through all levels of natural cosmetics, from simple kitchen cookery recipes, to more complex fragrance crafting. If you've ever tried those "all natural" health food store cosmetics and wondered if you could make them yourself, with this book you probably can.

Summary: A truly fascinating book
Review: I bought this book because of a friend who developed an allergy to the aluminum used in anti-perspirants/deodorants and wanted to know if I could come up with some hand made creation to help her out. I have my own soap and toiletries business so I am constantly playing around with recipes for soaps and beauty treatments and this book sounded very interesting.

And it is. Janice Cox is an amazingly clever and inventive person whose pleasant personality comes through in the pages of this book. I was happy to find four different recipes for deodorants, but there was SO much more.

I have stopped spending major dollars for a small tube of a certain famous brand's hair dressing creme -- I now just make my own, slathering mayonnaise and honey and mashed avocado and egg yolk on my hair, which has never looked better. The recipes for facial creams and masques and potions and powders are endlessly fascinating, if you like this sort of thing.

If you are weary of paying top dollar for boutique or spa beauty treatments that you have already halfway suspected could be made at home (better and more cheaply), then this is definitely the book for you. Have fun with it and take note of how these simple, down-home beauty recipes actually WORK.

Review: Inspiration for anyone who is trying to remove harmful chemicals their skin and hair.The Book is beautifully laid out and easy to use. The quiet time it takes to prepare these recipes is another way of taking good care of ourselves. This book teaches how to go about that. The recipes are clear, and given the ingredients and Janice Cox's research should work as described. Certainly have for me.

Review: SUCH a great book! So many great recipes. As the author says, I'm sure that I will get addicted to natural beauty product making. I have been looking for a book like this for a while and it is absolutely great. The one thing I am worried about is how long the products will last...she doesnt really address that. otherwise, great format--easy, fun!

Summary: I Love This Book
Review: This is my first book on the subject. I am a skin care addict and decided it would be fun to try something new. All of the recipes are easy to do. Ms. Cox tells you where to find all of the ingredients. I got everything either at the health food store, the drug store or the grocery store. I have been happily making and using my new products. So far, everything has been terrific.
