Jan Berry’s books are great for learning tools and guides.
Great book. Jan Berry is so knowledgeable! I have her several of her books and have started my own soap business with help from her books. I highly recommend this book to anyone who’s looking to make their own beauty products.
I love the book.....
I bought the book in August 2019 and I waited until April 2020. Once I received the book I reviewed and I love it. The pictures, the recipes and the organization. It worth the waiting. I have not had the chance yet to make the recipes, but they are written in a simple language and easy to follow. Thanks Jan Berry. I also have the soap book too.
Best book I've ever read on the subject
I have followed followed Jan Berry's blog for years. This book is a treasure trove of all the best all-natural lotions & potions. The instructions are easy to follow, the ingredients readily available through mother nature or the world wide web and the results are predictable. I cannot recommend this book enough.
10+ stars
Love, love, love this book. First paper book I've bought and read in years; usually go Kindle. Already dog-eared and adored. Learned three new facts in the first 5 pages and I'm very involved in natural products made at home.
So easy and informative!!
Wow, we're literally the first words put of my mouth when I went through this book. It has SO MANY recipes but also info on the ingredients in them, places they may be found, substitute ingredients and more!! I have been wanting to get into making my own natural beauty and everyday items and this book is definitely going to be my go to!
Love this book!
So, I gave this book a 4 star because I really do not like the binding. It has a premier binding so the book is to stay open when using. I did not know this at 1st, but when it came to my attention, still don't like the binding! Looks like it will fall apart or tear the pages! But it hasn't. But everything else is a 5 star and beyond! So many useful recipes, and the materials and ingredients are easy to come by or grow yourself, for the most part. Just a beautiful book. Easy instructions and even warnings on when not to use certain ingredients for use on children and pets. I already do many recipes of my own using all natural ingredients and plants found in nature, but this did give more ideas and information. Love her books! Just can't say enough!!!
My New Favorite
My favorite book! She’s written some great recipes, easy to read and thorough. I wasn’t familiar with some of the plants/herbs she uses, but they are easily accessible and I’m excited to expand my repertoire! Great DIYS!
Excellent book!
For those like me who are new to making our own natural homemade products (aromatherapy, salves, balms, sprays, etc.), this book is very helpful. Ingredients are helpfully illustrated, beautiful photography, steps are enumerated clearly--there's so much here! Also like that I can mix and match and swap out ingredients. Very impressed!
One of the best!
I've had a ton of books in this homemade health and beauty genre, and this is really my favorite of all time. The instructions are clear, the presentation is both visually appealing and useful, and the recipes themselves are awesome! This book goes beyond the expected recipes to offer products you can make for your home and even your pets. Jan Berry is clearly a gifted teacher in addition to being a gifted crafter. I'm so glad I came across this book and I can't wait to check out more of her work!
Great Book
Simple easy to follow recipes, great tips and TONS of information. I would have paid double...and I just ordered another for a friend. Love it!
