Book Reviews of Making Aromatherapy Creams and Lotions: 101 Natural Formulas to Revitalize & Nourish Your Skin
Book Review: A very good reference for a serious crafter
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't impressed with this book at first, but I found myself referring to it again and again. After renewing it from the library for the 3rd time, I bought my own copy. I am serious about making my own products, and Planet Soap is my company. I make soap, of course. Now I am getting into lip balm and lotions. My focus in this review is on the Creams and Lotions part of the book. I already had a lot of the ingredients on hand, and found the recipes easy to follow, at least the more basic ones. A digital scale is necessary here.
Some of the recipes call for a daunting number of ingredients. In that regard I would say that this book offers good guidelines, and not every recipe has to have every single ingredient. We are talking about lotion here, not radioactive elements. There is a good bit of flexibility. There are parts that explain the benefits of each base oil and essential oil, so feel free to create based on your needs.
I don't know that I would recommend this book to someone making their first batch of beauty product. There are plenty of free, simple recipes online. Some initial investment in supplies will be necessary for, say, coconut oil, lavender essential oil, and other things not found at the grocery store. If you want to make lotion from shortening and other grocery store ingredients, this book is not for you. On the other hand, the author is seriously committed to beautiful products and here scent blends are intriguing. I'm sold.
