This book is easy, comprehensive and packed with information for the novice or seasoned bodycare product maker. This book covers several different topics and areas of making natural body products. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Making Natural Beauty Products teaches you how to make products from scratch for your hair, face, body, feet and it even covers the subject on how to make mineral make up, lip balms and glosses. This book has a wealth of information from the types of oils, butters and additives to use. The book also covers the subject of labeling cosmetics for sale, which is vital in the cosmetic making industry. I think this book is a must have. If you’re thinking about getting this book, you won’t be dissappointed, I guarantee you. Also don’t forget to pick up a copy of “The Idiot’s Guide for Making Natural Soaps.” 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Great job!, March 17, 2011 Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Making Natural Beauty Products (Complete Idiot’s Guides) (Kindle Edition) This is by far the best book on cosmetic making that I have read. I was looking for a ‘natural’ way of making my own cosmetics that had shelf life just in case I wanted to start selling the product. I can’t wait to order my supplies. I have been making cosmetics of natural skin care for many years and this is the best book I stumbled upon. And now there is a company that has a complete kit that goes with this book. Thanks for a great, easy to follow, complete cosmetic DIY. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Great book in general, lacks recipes for darker women., May 27, 2011 By KimberlyS “KimberlyS” (Virginia Beach, VA) – See all my reviews This review is from: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Making Natural Beauty Products (Paperback) This is a great book. It has so much for the beginner up to the advanced user. I do feel that it lacks recipes for colored women in foundations and such however in all other ways this book is a wealth of great information and recipes. I would give it 98 stars out of 100 stars… |

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. 113 of 119 people found the following review helpful:  Do your homework first…, March 2, 2007 By NIU mom “Teacher and Mom” (DeKalb Illinois) – See all my reviews This review is from: Natural Beauty at Home: More Than 250 Easy-to-Use Recipes for Body, Bath, and Hair (Paperback) I was VERY disappointed in this book for several reasons: 1). The author mentions the use of mineral oil and petrolatum as a moisturizer (for those of you that don’t know these are byproducts of gasoline and are AWFUL for your skin, the cosmetic/beauty industry only use it because it is dirt cheap and never goes bad). 2). It is not practical to put your time and effort into making something for one application (will we really see results after just one use?). I suppose you can multiply the recipes but most of the recipes need to be used ASAP or they spoil. Needless to say I have not found a happy medium! 3). I have coarse curly hair- I tried one of the “hair packs” and needless to say it was a MESS! It took several shampoos to get all of the stuff out of my hair.In conclusion, I would reccommend you research what products are actually good for you and not just convienient for the makers! |
