5 - A very good reference for a serious crafter
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.
1 - Book arrived with pages ripped out
This looked like a great book except all of the resource pages were ripped out. I was very disappointed.
3 - nice, but no new information for me
I'm not a novice in making homemade creams. I had no problems with finding ingredients, but the recipes are too easy for me. And I don't like using borax in home cosmetics. Donna Maria uses it in many recipes.
But I liked wery much the section with several balm bars recipes. The information on the other handmade cosmetics makers throughout the book was also very useful and interesting.
2 - Very difficult to get ingredients
I got this book and 'Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair' for Christmas and I have to say I haven't used this book once. Nearly everything I needed for recipes in 'Earthly bodies' I got from the local Whole foods but with this book I stopped at the first recipes and couldn't find one thing. I'm sure it would result in nice lotions and creams but without the ingredients I will never know. Kind of sad but at least I got the other book, which I love and really recommend.
5 - Outstanding Book!
This book is outstanding! Not only does it offer a ton of recipes for every type of cream, lotion, toner and scrub your could want, but it also gives a ton of information about the products used in them. It talks about all of the different oils, butters and items you use in them and the pros and cons of each. I have never found such a comprehensive book and use it for everything. Cannot recommend this book enough.
