Summary: Wonderful book full of wonderful recipes
Review: I am starting a home-based business of natural soaps and bath products. I have found many recipes in this book that I can make and sell. I have also found many recipes that I use myself, being a woman who is allergic to most all store-bought cosmetics and skin care products. I especially love the Chocolate Lip Gloss, the Gardener's Hand Cream, and the Egyptian Facial Mask. The recipes are easy to follow. The ingredients are easy to obtain. The overall book is wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make their own natural products.

Summary: One warning
Review: I decided to check this book out at a bookstore first, because I have gotten so many craft books that sound really great, but the materials and ingredients needed are very exotic or expensive. This book is no exception. Although the recipes and ideas are simple and easy, the essential oils needed (which are NOT cheap, mind you.) and the other array of items (that no one keeps in their house) would cost a fortune.Her other book, "Natural Beauty at Home", is a MUCH better book, with the same easy and simple instructions, and realistic materials. Ideas like oatmeal masks, potpurri, and soap that are not hard to do, and not pricey. I highly recommend this one over "Natural Beauty for All Seasons".

Summary: Great book
Review: I have enjoyed all of Janet Cox's books although this is the only one I own (the rest I borrowed). The recipes are easy, the ingredients easy to find at grocery or natural food stores, or online. I would give this a five star rating except for the recipes which call for petroleum based products (and there are a few in everyone of her books) and the fact that some of the lip balms harden when they cool to the point of dragging at your lips. Easy enough to fix (simply remelt and add more oil to the mix until you are happy with the final product). Overal very enjoyable reading and gift giving.

Summary: For people with way too much time on their hands..
Review: I love this book! I just recently started making my own products, but some books I looked at had things that were too much of a pain to bother with. But this book is excellent. The recipes are easy and fun to make, and the ingredients are easily obtainable. The gift giving ideas are great, and it has just been a wonderful resource. I will definately be purchasing her other books!

Review: This book has some fabulous ideas for facial scrubs and massage oil BUT reader be warned of the BANANA-HONEY conditioner! I tried this and the gooey bananas would NOT come out of my hair. It took 4 shampoos and a LOT of brushing. Not a fun morning.

Summary: Excellent, easy recipes, easy-to-find ingredients
Review: This is a wonderful book. The author gives interesting information about all ingredients she uses and they are, for the most part, very easy to find. The recipes by seasons is a great feature. I live in Florida so I especially like the Spring and Summer recipes. However, I just purchased the book for my daughter, who lives in Alaska. Naturally, she will enjoy the Autumn and Winter recipes. Would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys using and making natural products.

Summary: inspired to create
Review: This is the second book I have purchased by this author. She has inspired me to create more beauty products for myself and ideas on how to make creative gifts for my family and friends for the upcoming holidays. I'm always concerned when i give home-made gift that they may look cheap as presents, she has many ideas to make them look better than the store bought ones. I'm ready to go to some antique stores and look for bottles, baskets and etc. The recipes are simple and easy to make. I will be experimenting alot.
