What the Author has to say about the book: “I’m a very allergic person and have very sensitive skin, but it’s so hard to find fragrance free products, or products that are alcohol-free. in fact, it’s almost impossible! I’ve always wanted to look into natural alternatives that i could make at home, but i thouht it would be overwhelming and time consuming. however, in researching this book, I developed recipes that are made from high-quality natural ingredients – ingredients that many beauty companies charge a premium for, even though their products will only include a small amount of said ingredient. these recipes don’t dillute the high-quality ingredients with water or add harsh ingredients that act as preservaitives. and the recipes are fairly quick and simple, so making small batches again and again isn’t an issue. I feel like i discovered a big secret that the beauty companies don’t want anyone to know…creating natural and safe beauty products at home is possible!”
BOTANICAL BEAUTY will be released on March 1, 2017.
