Natural Beauty: 35 step-by-step projects for homemade beauty

Great starting point. Fully of easy to follow instructions and ideas for moving forward .

The media could not be loaded.  I can say that the recipes in this book are great as they contain many items you can easily find in a supermarketThe book is detailed and extremely nice to hold as it feels like a quality book, the pages are nicely textured and is a great addition to helping me learn skincare makingThe book starts with an insight into bases and what you need to know before diving into the manufacturing which is of course important, it also explains the importance of compromise between preservation and making a product that is super healthyOverall I wasn't expecting much but this book is amazing

Very informative narrative in this book. The writer is sharing her knowledge and passion without too much jargon or patronising when explaining terminology. The recipe's and processes are clear, well presented and easy to follow. The writer is also very helpful in her recommendations without the reader feeling like she is promoting any particular product or brand as often many authors are not humble and write as if it's my way or the highway. I would highly recommend this book as once I began to read it I couldn't put it down. Throughout the writer is encouraging you to gain knowledge of processes and make your own choices regarding your products.

Lovely recipes, I’ve made a few and my favourite by far is the face serum. I’ve made it lots for myself and family. Highly recommend.The only downside I’ve found is there are a lot of different oils and ingredients needed , not many recipes have the same ingredients so it becomes an expensive hobby. I guess that’s the nature of starting any new hobby though.

Great ideas at a great orice

Great book for those starting off on the homemade cosmetic path. I have made 4 products from this book which explains everything in simple easy to understand terms. There is lots of good extra information on the ingredients and suggestions to get more information and supplies. The book has lovely illustrations and it is well designed and set out. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to start making their own skincare products.

A Christmas gift

Lovely very informative book as long as I have a bright light focussed on the text. My eyesight is not poor. I do use reading glasses and have no problem with normal sized text. Putting text on a coloured background makes it even harder to read. I would give book 5 stars as love the very clear instructions, and beautiful recipes but I am finding it tiring to read.

Very simple yet useful recipes.

This is a great book and inspires beauty just by looking at it! There are so many wonderful recipes for the skin and easy to try and not loaded with tons of ingredients. THe book is full of great information on all the ingredients Karen suggests. If you are loving working with oils and beauty you will love this book! It is endlessly resourceful!

It is a wonderful and very useful book. Great value for money.

Simple step by step reciepes for me a beginner. And can be simply altered to your liking for example switching one oil for another oil and so on. Also breaks down what elements play a roll in your finished product like emulsifiers, preservatives when to use exc.

Very pretty book and full of wonderful information and recipes. The author is clearly knowledgeable on the subject and provides a lot of creative ideas for making natural skin products.
