I absolutely love natural handcrafted skin care and I have been studying the subject for a while now, I have learned about herbs, essential oils, extracts, tinctures, clays, hydrosols, but I am far from an expert and I seek knowledge all the time. That is why I got this book, but it's short and very limited, it does not go in too much detail, which could be ok for a total beginner. But what I did not like about this book at all was the fact the she suggests using mineral oil as a base oil in one of her recipes. Aren't we trying to avoid mineral oil even in commercial skin care? It's made from the same type of oil as gasoline, it clogs your pores and it's just plain bad. Baby oil is not good for babies for the same reason and I learned it from a dermatologist, when my son had a rush caused by Pampers. Anyhow, this review is getting way too long. I hope it helps some of you.
