USER REVIEWS
"I liked this book because it explained in detail, the proper use of ingredients. It gives easy to use formulas as well as giving explanations of why certain ingredients were used and substitutions of ingredients to get the results you desire. Some reviewers said the products were difficult to find, but with a simple web search, I found Glory Bees Food to be an excellent source. This book is a great start if you want to start a business. It helps you to understand the process of formulation. Thus far, this is my favorite book on the subject."

"I really loved this book the only draw back is that most things you made have to go in the refrigerator,
I would really like someone to come out with receipes that are marketable and preserved with things like essential oils instead of just having to put everything in the frig.
#1 My kids might think it is food and try it.
#2 I don't think the next time you go to use it cold stuff on your face is not what you are after for your skin to asborb ingredients it needs to be warm not cold.
#3 It is alittle confusing. I couldn't figure out what they meant by a certain type of oil. This book is defintely not for the beginner and it is not easily readable for making receipes.
#4 It would have been better had they made the book like a receipe book with the spiral binding so when you are trying to make the receipe the book is easy to keep open.
I would like to see more research done on the foods on your skin verses the other products people are using. People need to see real results that have been tested and tried and then documented. Maybe a college could do this for someone??? I know that if people are not careful they could transfer bacteria to their skin if they left the product in the frig to long and keep using it. Yes I know just like food but if they aren't aware of the dangers it could have adverse side effects."

"This is a great book...exactly what I was looking for. This jumpstarted me on my journey to creating some awesome recipes with the basic knowledge I needed to creating my own lotions, etc. I would recommend this to anyone who really wants to do things right, and healthy."

"The book gives great information on the basic ingredients for lotions , but theres no "SIMPLE beginners recipe" in here, except perhaps at the end in the "Beauty Food" chapter.
many of the recipes make such a small amount of lotion that youre measuring infintessimal amounts of ingredients.
I would have preferred to see a couple of simpler recipes included, using perhaps one or two easily available oils rather than a half dozen oils that all have to be specially ordered.
At the end of the book I find myself thnking, hmmm. I'm so glad this isnt the first book I read on how to make lotions and etc.
My final take on it is , Great if youre looking for inspiration, not so great if you think this will bring you the easy starter recipes ."
