Product Description
Product Description
In this book, the founder of NYR reveals the fruits of years of company research which explains how to create the cosmetics at home. With step by step instructions, the book contains a whole range of skin and body treatments, including shampoos, hair dyes, cleansers, moisturizers, toothpastes, hand and nail creams, body scrubs, perfumes and fragrances and many more. Making beauty products at home means that the ingredients used can be controlled, and with experience, creams, lotions and other products can be tailored to suit individual skin types.

Format:Paperback
In addition to a set of easy to make recipes, this book covers making your own tinctures, decoctions, oils and a set of 'base'recipes, which it shows you how to customise to suit your skin.
Once you have read through the recipes and reference pages you can select just one or two essential oils that suit you skin to get started. I already had quite a few of the ingredients in - e.g. herbs, honey, witch hazel, clay, lavender, coconut, oils, milk, salt, bicarb but I haven't got round to trying the recipes with beeswax or emulsifier in yet (things that I will have to go out and find!)
It has a few recipes under each subject (it doesn't cover soap), and a third of it is the reference section so I think I will be going back to this book a few times. I may try another in the series as it was quite well thought out and informative.

Overall, it is a good book for a wide range of cosmetic products -there are quite a few recipes in it I would like to try, but you may have to invest more money in various ingredients that are not readily available in shops, such as wheatgerm oil, cosmetic clay, various essential oils, etc. The reason I couldn't give it five stars was that it didn't provide a satisfying recipe for soap and shampoo. What it basically recommends is that you use existing shampoos from the supermarket as a base and add to those the ingredients of your choice. I would have liked to find out a good natural formula without chemical ingredients or presevatives, even if the final product had a shorter shelf life. The book is nicely put together, good photography, but not for someone who is seriously thinking about making 100% natural, affordable cosmetic products.

I've been wanting to have a go at making my own creams and skincare stuff for a while. This book looked as if it had lots of stuff in but not too complicated. And it isn't, it's really easy to follow the recipies, I've made a couple so far and they both turned out really well. Lots of extra info in there aswell on where to get the ingredients, etc. so really useful - definitely recommended.
