I’ve reviewed over a dozen books lately, looking for natural recipes I’m not allergic to. Most say to use citric acid for a preservative. I’m allergic to corn & citrus, which citric acid is made from. This book is very refreshing & helpful! Of all the ones I’ve looked at, this is by far tops on my list! Many, many wonderful recipes I can really use, not have to substitute something. Thank you, Star!

The Holistic Beauty Book: Over 100 Natural Recipes for Gorgeous Healthy Skin
At first glance, this book looked as if it was going to be just another collection of old-fashioned “kitchen” recipes – the same old stuff that teaches you how to make a beeswax body cream using borax & lanolin. But this one was suprisingly a bit different. The author focuses mainly on the sourcing and use of fair trade and organic ingredients – with most if not all of the recipes formulated to feed & nourish the skin. I have tried and liked the massage “Chocolate Orange Body Butter Bar” made with pure raw cocoa powder (she has a seperate chapter dedicated to chocolate body potions). She even has a rhassoul mud hair treatment (great for softening & detoxing the hair) along with a simple shampoo using African Black Soap. Overall, I highly recommend this book.

The Holistic Beauty Book: Over 100 Natural Recipes for Gorgeous Healthy Skin
I was really looking forward to this book… especially since there are over 100 recipes too. But I am a bit disappointed by it.
Many of the recipes are nothing new. It reminded me of other natural skincare recipe, nothing too original or unique.
On a personal note, I’ve made my own face cream just before I purchased the book. I found the simple recipe free online. Made with pure beeswax, almond oil, and essential oils. It’s great for winter skincare.
But I do give Ms. Star credit for her interest in using natural ingredients. Overall it’s just OK book for beginners.
