Organic Homemade Lotion Recipes: How To Make Your Own Body Lotions For All Skin Types

This is a quick no-frills book on how to make homemade hand and facial creams. That will take care of dry or cracked hands feet and faces you will also learn that honey and beeswax are one of the most important parts of any hand cream, and why store-bought variations are so expensive (because it takes a fair amount of honey and natural beeswax to make a decent cream). I was very interested to learn the difference between a lotion and cream. The major difference is that lotion contains more water or other natural language, whereas the cream has far less water and is of a thicker consistency. I was interested in this book because I am outside a lot during the winter, and therefore end up with severely chapped lips and hands on a regular basis. And sadly, there aren't very many manly versions of protective hand creams available on the market that do not come with a fairly hefty price tag attached for what you get. So I decided to do some research and see if I could make my own natural-based creams to protect my hands and lips and save a little bit of money in the process. I stumbled across this book, and I must say I'm very pleased with the results. It explains the five major skin types and how to configure cream for let's say very dry skin versus skin and contains a lot of oil, as compared with what is considered to be normal skin. This one definitely has no-frills, and no gimmicks and his relatively short, but that is okay by me, because there is nothing in these pages that I don't absolutely need to know to make a usable. 100% natural, organic cream, when I need it. Of course there are creams in this book such as anti-aging and face creams. As I imagine, the primary market for such a publication is of course going to be women however as I say restorative and dry skin protective creams do wonders for my hands and face in the cold winter weather. And I'm very pleased with the results. And not only that but, the book also includes a recipe for organic homemade toothpaste as well, which I will be trying, very shortly.

Good information, presented in easy to understand instructions, I've tried some of the recipes and am enjoying the whole process. Not difficult at all, and what a difference! My skin is softer and I'm no longer vulnerable to all the unpronounceable ingredients and additives in commercially made lotions.

This is another short but to the point book from Paleo Wired. In it, Jasmine Wood presents a quick overview and description of the five skin types (normal skin, oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, combination skin). This is followed by a brief description of the essential ingredients in homemade all-natural creams (honey and beeswax being the most important). Then come the recipes for DIY lotions and cream. These include: Body lotion, body cream, autumn cream, anti-wrinkle cream, hand lotion, face creams (for the different skin types), lip chap, and all natural toothpaste.Each recipe gives a list of ingredients, followed by directions on how to make the lotion or cream. The ingredients are readily available in health food stores or online. Most of the creams and lotions are quite easy to make, and the directions are clear and easy to follow.This is a great little book for anyone looking for an all-natural way to keep their skin smooth and youthful looking.

This has odd recipes and asks for petroleum jelly in one. There is such a thing as nonpetroleum jelly, but it isn't even mentioned. Disappointed in this expensive flop.

Well Researched and Well Written. I am making a shopping list now and will be making a few of these as soon as I get back home. I am sick and tired of looking at labels, not liking (or understanding) all the ingredients and not doing anything about it. For the simple low price of this book, I will feel so much better, I already know it. Most of the ingredients not only are know for their healing properties, but for their fragrance also. This book gives us the recipes which is the secret to the balance for ultimate performance, thickness and texture. I appreciate all the work done testing these recipes and will making extra to give as gifts.

Great projects & recipes

If someone is new to working with essential oils, this is a nice short primer. It’s short and not overwhelming for the novice.It’s a good, practical starting place for learning about Lotions.

I've been recently exploring hobbies like this and I was pleasantly surprised with this book. As it taught me a few things I hadn't learned yet and gave me some recipes and a whole lot of ideas. It was also a clear and easy read that should help make putting this new found knowledge to use, I found it was well worth the time to read, hopefully you will as well.
