It is the first book that I've come across that combines wonderful explanations for the healing and aromatic uses of essential oils within skincare products in conjunction with doing a beautiful job explaining how to create the exquisite recipes. What I especially love about Donna Maria's book is that she provides a lot of instruction on how to customize recipes to suit individual needs. Donna Maria is sure to mention that not all batches turn out perfectly, and she provides hints on how to correct the troubled batch or what to try the next time. The recipes have the most delightful names. Ballerina Butter, Helping Hand Cream, African Body Tapestry, All that Jazzmin, Honey Gleam, just to touch on a few.
Aromatic quotes scattered throughout the book also lend a beautiful and motivational touch.
