 Disappointed May 22, 2009

Maybe my expectations were just too high, based on the many reviews. There are a few good tips, but most of the material is easy to find on the internet, or in other books that you will have to purchase or have already purchased. I did not find the book to be very useful at all. I would have returned it, but it wasn't worth the shipping cost to return the book. If you can purchase this at half the price offered here on Amazon, I believe it would be worth the purchase. LOL
Trying out herbal remedies and cosmetics February 10, 2007

Having read a lot about Rosemary Gladstar, I purchased two of her books, this one and the Family Herbal. Wonderful, both of them. This Herbs for Natural Beauty has lots of wonderful recipes to 'make your own' cleansers, toners and other products. Don't be afraid of the ingredient lists: some of the things that don't sound familiar will be found in herb shops, health food stores--even some GNC's. When/if that fails, shop online! It's all very affordable.
These recipes are good for spa days, teenage sleepovers (girls would LOVE to make their own facial masks!) or just sisters wanting to relax on a Friday night. I also like to make things that I know are all natural and don't have lots of the extra stuff, and haven't been tested on animals. These are also great for people with sensitive skin (like me) or allergies to different chemicals.
The recipe I use the most is the grains cleanser with almonds and green clay and essential oils. My skin LOVES it, even better than some of the expensive stuff I've tried.
Rosemary Gladstar is a wonder, and you get this beautiful sense of her in the book. She has a website, as well.

First off: I love this author's books-after buying this one, I purchased her herbal book for women. This is an awesome book for those like myself who prefer shopping at natural food stores and if you like the idea of making your own beauty products. Rosemary has a warm and friendly style in this well written, easy to read book. I really like how she has enriched the book with personal beauty stories and tips not just recipes. It is a fun little book making use of herbs quite a bit with a lot of great info and recipes packed inside. Would make a great intro book to making your own products but is also a good resource for those with experience. Oh, and there is a good section defining the needed ingredients like cocoa butter,rosewater etc-she tells you what is is/what it does/and availability of the item-very helpful. Thanks to her I know that Borax makes the skin cleaner & softer-it is a great ingredient mined from the earth-not a scary manufactured chemical like I thought! I am happy to have this book as part of my natural beauty library. (I also enjoy using Janice Cox's natural beauty books.)

Do not buy this book if you already own Rosemary's Family Herbal! All but three recipes in Herbs for Natural Beauty are contained in the Herbal. Even the copy is the same. I was very disappointed.
