Botanical Skin Care Recipe Book Paperback – October 17, 2019

This is a beautiful written and illustrated book of recipes! I recommend that you need to read the tips and instructions in the Introduction first, before jumping straight to the recipes. There’s so much useful information there.The only thing I would love to see added is an index of recpes in the back of the book.Otherwise, I’m very happy with it!

I love this book so much. It has lots of helpful information, that is so easy to understand. With beautiful floral art on every page. I had to buy one for my cousin because she was obsessed with it. And now buying another one for a friend! Works for a great gift. I definitely recommend!

The book it’s beautiful. I feel like a fairy reading about herbal beauty when I’m reading this book! It is gorgeous. Easy to read and catchy, will make you want to keep reading & learning how to make your own beauty products but in a natural & healthy way!!!I truly dislike the beauty industry, and how much they try to sell us all “this magical” creams/shampoos etc. Influencers advertising the products that are full of chemicals and bad for our healths just for their own convenience $$$.So I am learning about herbalism and I came a cross a Herbalist youtuber that recommended this book and I ran to purchase it so definitely worth it!

I'm studying to become a herbalist and eventually open up my own shop, this book helps to give me baseline recipes so I can make my own and it also helps to let you know what certain ingredients do for you. If you want to learn about natural skincare and how to make it, this is a great starter book.

Great book. Tons of recipes and information! However, there are only recipes. If you are looking for formulations this book doesn't contain that. If you would like to, you can convert the recipes over to formulations by using some simple calculations. I typically convert the recipes into parts, then into percentages! Takes some maneuvering, but I think it's worth it.

This is a BEAUTIFUL book. Cover to cover, page to page, there is so much care and thought put into this.

I have been slowing making changes toward whole plant/home grown products in my home, including tinctures, decoctions, personal care products, cleaning products, etc. That means limiting my use of essential oils due to the high concentration of volatile compounds and my sensitivity to many of them. I was so disappointed to see so many recipes in this book that call for essential oils. Granted, some are listed as optional but several were not, especially those calling for some of the most expensive essential oils available like Melissa/Lemon Balm and Helichrysum.There are lots of good recipes in this book that call for products that are not locally found where I live. I was hoping that most would include plants that I could grow or forage on my own. Unfortunately, there are lots of products that need to be purchased to make many of these recipes.While this is a good book, it did not meet my expectations for a natural, available, and sustainable ingredient list. I regret this purchase for that fact.

I just got this extremely cool book an hour ago, and I'm in love already! I've been making a lot of my own health and beauty products for a few years now and I'm very interested in trying some different recipes. I already marked a few to try with stuff I have. I can't vouch for the recipes yet but they seem pretty great. We'll see if my skin agrees. Every page is decorated with plants and flowers and it is so gorgeous. A lot went into this book and it shows! 💚
