Kathryn kuhn said I am choosing to make my own for the sake of knowing what is in the product and what I apply to my body for the sake of health. I truly LOVE this book and it's offerings.My second sister had given me a copy, which she had owned for quite awhile. I used some of the recipes, the facial creame was the first one that I made. Lovely! Then in a whim I gave it away (and I truly hope that the current user enjoys what is offered) and have mildly regretted it.I recently realized that I am tired of purchasing ready made facial cream and other body treatments and the unknown ingredients. I have been a faithful user of Burt's Bees products for quite a while. I am choosing to make my own . A wonderful starter book into making herbal cosmetics! If you already incorporate herbs into your life, this book is wonderful for making your own cosmetics using items you probably already have in your kitchen. Definitely worth the priceI still refer to mine today!. Caution against shampoo recipes Renee A. Davis In general I like this book. Although it doesn't have a wide variety of recipes. Anyway, it is rather dated. For instance, I followed the recipes for shampoo. Yikes! Her amounts of tincture of benzoin in there made the shampoo stick to the measuring cup! And nevermind what it did to my hair (hey, I had an open mind). So maybe the way tincture of benzoin is made is different from how it was back then. I don't know, but head's up. This is the only natural bodycare book I have, but I hear there are better out there.
