Who Will Find This Book Essential?

This book is a must for the avid advanced home or more professional body-products maker. It's a valuable exploration of more exotic compounds out there (Your might need to do some research). So perhaps come into this book with some of traditional formulations knowledge.

Exotic, interesting, popular ...

For the keen skin care hobbyists and those looking for new products and approaches. This is an extremely popular book, for good reason.

What's Inside

You wont get bored reading about all the same types of natural ingredients. There is an abundance of new and exotic ingredients like Soapwort Root, Clays, Essential Oils, Honey, Mango, Oats, Hydrosols. Donna Maria has uncovered ingredients like CO2 extracts, hydrosols, and waxes that are just the start of something different, and different can mean product sales. In the years since the book was first published, these ingredients are widely available on the internet...there's not I haven't been able to find. I'm so excited to have a new direction to experiment with for personal facial and body preparations.

The book is presented useful essential oils and extracts (like Sea Buckthorn Berry), many nutritious plant oils, like Tamanu Oil. Finishing up with emulsifying and thickening agents, like Vegetable Emulsifying Wax.
