Money well spent!
This is an easy to read and beautifully illustrated guide. While the book does not shy away from chemical terminology such as METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, it does not drown you with unnecessary pompous descriptions or information. It simply tells you in which products it can be found, what the exposure risks are and what studies have concluded in three sentences all under the most important heading of : CHEMICALS YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT.The over 30 years of experience in teaching and practicing which the author has, shine through beautifully in the way he book is written and broken down (four parts). The sections are clearly color coded making it a breeze to find exactly what you are looking for. Part 3 is certain to become a favorite of anyone because it presents the essential oils in a complete manner without becoming overwhelming nor boring. Complete descriptions include the botanical name (extremely important) description, cautions, precautions, main chemical components with their benefits/warnings and last but not least: the guidelines for using. But dont worry about the calculator, you wont need it because even when you are told is a X% dilution, it also tells you exactly how many EO drops per milliliter you need.As far as the formulations: I made the first, and I was so excited i shared it with one person…which became twenty within a week wanting to know more about it and offering to pay for their own jar…If you are in business that is great, but my plan was just to pamper myself….

EXACTLY what I was looking for. A very well written and organized book. She covers basic skin anatomy, types and common conditions. Then, an in depth review of carrier oils, essential oils followed by treatment recipes. This is a quality, well bound book that I am certain to reference for years to come.

Great for beginners and experienced formulators
This is an excellent book full of need to know information on everything you need to formulate your own plant based personal care products. There is terrific information on the chemical components – the science behind the ingredients- that’s easy to understand. The recipes are easy to follow. I have a lot of books and this is a go to as a resource guide. I highly recommend this book.

Wonderful book with lots of helpful info.
After reading an article by a well known aromatherapist I ordered this and three other books. Oh. My. Goodness. This book is fantastic. It has a wealth of information about essential oils, carrier oils, and suggestions for use when creating personal care items. It is beautifully illustrated and well organized. I only received this today, but I’ve already made substantial headway in exploring it. I can already see I will be referring back to this often.

A must have book!
A must have book for any do-it yourself formulators of personal care products. Danielle Sade thoroughly explains the chemistry behind the ingredients (the essential oils and carrier oils) and the instructions are clear and concise. I have made approximately ten different products and each one was beautiful and very luxurious.A perfect gift for any aromatherapist or anyone interested in making lotions and personal care products.

Fantastic and thorough info all in one place!
This is my new favorite essential oils book! It is full of great step by step recipes and it doesn’t stop there. It’s loaded with information on a ton of other things: essential oils, carriers, butters and when you might want to use them. It even has recipes for different organs such as, kidney, liver, heart, etc. This book will be useful for both beginners and experts alike.

This book is very informative! I teach at an Esthetics School and needed something to compliment my lessons on aromatherapy and skin treatments. Itâs very scientifically based, which I appreciate. There is a whole chapter on skin anatomy and skin types, why and how different essential oils should and could be used. I love all the recipes the author has included all the while caring about what chemicals are in essential oils and utilizing them safely on the skin. If you want a good read as well as useful information, this is the book for you!
