200 Tips, Techniques, and Recipes for Natural Beauty

Love this book. I am so glad I got it! Excellent reference & informational book. I like how it’s broken down so easily to read & understand. It does a good job covering the more common, natural butters, salts, sugars, clays, and carrier oils. I found the profilings of the carrier oils & essential oils extremely helpful. I love the tips, tricks & the variety of recipes, including, cleansers, lotions, shampoos, masks, scrubs, salves, etc... In addition, I really appreciate the encouragement & suggestions in making your own alterations to the recipes. The chapters are broken down by ingredients, tools, hair care, facial care, body care and lastly perfumes, which is something I’ve recently became interested in learning more about.

Has everything you need to know organized in an easy to learn way. Tons of recipes as well!

This is the only book I’m going to keep in my library. The recipes organized in a clear manner, easy to find for busy working woman. Only relevant info. Even tables of recipes components, so you can use your creativity to make something new. Without exaggeration, this the only book you need to learn how to do your own products. All with pictures of “how to” such as how melt butters, etc. I wish I found this book before wasting my money on 3 rambling bla-bla.

I'm new to the world of making my own skin and hair care products and found this book to have some great basic information that was helpful to a newbie. There was a few basic recipes but by and large most of the recipes were requiring multiple ingredients that I didn't have on hand. I found myself going back to the internet to find simpler recipes that were easier to start with so that I could get started without spending a fortune on ingredients. Over time as I built up my ingredients collection and gained more experience, I developed a greater appreciation for this book. I've learned enough to now be comfortable with using her tables as a framework for creating my own recipes which is a lot more fun than following one. I also have done enough research over time to were I can start to recognize a bad recipe and know there is a lot of bad advice floating around on the internet. This book is a reliable source of good ideas.

This book is fantastic! Well designed, recipes are clear, easy to follow and work well. I am delighted with this purchase. After learning about some unhealthy ingredients in commercial products I decided to make some of my own items. Love it. Fun to make blends with friends and love to learn healthy ways to care for hair,body,nails,feet etc! A great purchase! Will buy some for gifts as well.

Excellent book! I have quite a few books in my essential oil, natural and crunchy beauty library. This is by far, the most comprehensive book of them all. The book goes into detail, for every aspect of the body; from the hair to the toes. She covers herbs, oils, butters and essential oils, so you understand what each item is good for. She covers everything you could possibly need to make for your body. From hair products; masks, vinegar rinses, cleansers and conditioners. To the face; cleansers, scrubs, masks, oils and moisturizers. Herbal infusions, and salves. Foot scrubs, soaks, butters and lotions. You name it, this book covers it. A must purchase if you like to make your own beauty products.

Wow! This book is chock full of information. There was definitely a lot of research that went into this book. And yet, with all the info, it is so visually appealing. It is divided up in such a logical way that it is easy to use as a reference. It would also be good as a book for deeper study and research. Well done, Shannon Buck. I will be checking out more of what you have available.

So so so worth it. This book has easy recipes for products but also is helpful in outlining the benefits of different ingredients, so you can learn how to customize recipes for what you need. I had such dry painful lips and made one of their lip balms... completely fixed in less than 24 hours. Looking forward to making more!

Great for a beginner, but you gotta make sure to plan a head of the time and order the required ingredients according to the recipes (herbs, vegetable oils/and butters, essential oils, clays etc.). If you're strictly vegan consider that Lanolin is used in some of the recipes; Lanolin is wool fat from domestic sheep breeds).

I love this book- I’ve made such a variety of things and all the recipes have been pretty simple, easy to follow and turn out well. From bath bombs, body cleanser, hand cream, face cream, face masks and there’s so much left for me to try. I’ve bought a few books on this topic and this is my favourite so far
