Product Description

Product Description
63 per cent of us have sensitive skin, mainly due to cosmetics and our environment and so never has there been a more timely moment to look at the more natural beauty products on the market. Sarah and Jo discuss all the relevant topics including what healing plants to use for your skin type, 10 natural ways to boost your immune system, how to look after your hair more naturally as well as presenting their Green Goddesses featuring Alicia Silverstone, Liz Earle and Scheherazade Goldsmith amongst others. And for the latest round of their ongoing consumer survey they recruited over 1100 new testers who report on 44 categories of natural products from miracle creams to suncare, mascara to shampoo. The result is a blueprint for a more natural, healthier way of living beautifully, which is gentler on you and the environment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, 5 Jul 2008
By Mrs. N. Dickinson "Fresh Therapies" (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love my organic products that I use & was really looking forward to this book arriving. I was surprised at the size of the book so found it excellent value for money. I like the idea that all products were tested on women for a reasonable amount of time, it made me feel more confident in buying the products. But saying that I was VERY DISSAPOINTED that there are hardly any products with the 3 daisy rating, seeing as there are loads of products out there which come under this catagory. I was really hoping to find more testing of products from the 3 daisy products. I thought the book let me down on this as I like many other readers were hoping to find some new products without having to waste money trying them out first.
Very good but shame about the lack of organics.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 29 May 2008
By Wise Woman (Britain) - See all my reviews
This is a lovely book to look at, great photos, nicely laid out obviously a lot of research had gone into it.

However I was disappointed in both the lack of products and the types of products tested. Liz Earle - natural?!? About as natural as Organics shampoo! Unfortunately for people who haven't researched what 'natural' is books like these reinforce the idea that a couple of herbs = natural.

The introduction does explain that not all the products will be natural but for people like me who have seen a huge improvemtn in health and skin condition since converting to 100% natural lotions and potions this isn't good enough.

I was also very disappointed to find that many of the products had already featured in their previous books.

Sarah Stacey and Jo Fairley have already converted me to Speizia cleansing balm and I'm currently waiting for my Circaroma wash to arrive but I wanted more products like that! The daisy rating is useful but it may be even more useful to list the 100% natual products tested so that I can make a decision whether to try them or not.

I didn't buy this book to "be more natural" I bought it to "be natural".

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, 24 Jun 2008
I was looking forward to reading this book as I've been "going down" the Green route for awhile now.
The book doesn't cover enough products and very few of them are 100% natural. Yes, I did read the Daisy rating where it clearly states that not all products are of 100% origin but to me that's not good enough.

A fair amount of this book is dedicated to their friends and their products together with pretty pictures and profiles. Sure, that's interesting but I can read about these women (If I choose to, which I don't) in magazines.

Another thing that really irritated was the fact that ALL products tested weren't mentioned so that hardly leaves the reader with a huge choice so I'll continue using the products I do and carry on with my own investigations into what is and what isn't suitable for my skin. Also, I noticed a lot of the products are for more Normal/Dry skins. Where another variant was available, very few comments were made.

As Journalists I expected them to know the difference between less and few. Also, they used the phrase "trialled" ad nauseum. Sure, it's a recent addition to the OED but "trialled" is used out of context and isn't a verb. Maybe I'm just incredibly fussy when it comes to editing and proof reading of books but when a phrase or word is used so much, it gets really annoying, to the point where you end up losing the will to live, let alone finish the book.
