Do not buy this book if you already have Rosemary’s Family Herbal! All but three recipes in herbs for natural beauty are contained in the herbal. Even the copy is the same. I was very disappointed.

This is not a very important book, but there is plenty of information. The recipes are easy, the ingredients are easy to find, and homemade products are wonderful to use. I bought many books on comestics do, but this little book is well up there with the best. This book is full of knowledge on decisions of natural products skin care. I recommend this little book for all who are interested in cosmestics.

First: I love this author books after purchasing it, I bought his book Herbal for women. The book is great for those like me who prefer to shop in health food stores and if you like the idea of making your own beauty products. Rosemary has a warm and friendly in this well written, easy to read the book. I like how she has enriched the book with stories and advice not only personal beauty recipes. It’s a fun little book to use some herbs with great info and recipes very packed inside. Would make a great intro book to make your own products, but is also a good resource for those with experience. Oh, and there is a good section to define the necessary ingredients such as cocoa butter, rose water, etc., it tells you what is / what it does / and the availability of the item-very useful. Thank you to her, I know that borax makes the skin clean and soft, this is a great ingredient extracted from the earth, not a chemical manufactured fear as I thought! I am pleased to have this book in my library of natural beauty. (I also like using books Janice Cox Natural Beauty.)

Having read a lot about Rosemary Gladstar, I bought two of his books, this one and herbs of the family. Beautiful, two of them. The Herbs for Natural Beauty has many wonderful recipes “make your own cleansers, toners and other products. Do not be afraid of the list of ingredients: some of the things that do not sound familiar will be found in herbal stores, health food stores – even some GNC. When / if it fails shop online! It is very affordable.
These recipes are good for day spa, dodos teenage (girls would like to make their own masks!) Or just wanting to relax on sisters a Friday night. I also do things that I know are all natural and do not have a lot of extra things, and have not been tested on animals. They are also ideal for people with sensitive skin (like me) or allergies to different chemicals.
The recipe I use most is the cleansing grains with almonds and green clay and essential oils. My skin loves even better than some expensive things, I tried.
Gladstar Rosemary is a marvel, and you get this sense of the beautiful in the book. She has a website, as well.
