Great book

2.0 out of 5 stars Some good information...

... but some very misleading too - especially on formulating. The advice on choosing essential oils for skincare can be helpful, but the recipes are... not good at all, definitely not safe to use - especially the ones containing water in them. If you are interested in formulating or aromatherapy/essential oils I recommend you obtain different books on the topics. This book tries to combine both subjects and really doesn't succeed in that. It gives a tiny bit of information and without a proper base or understanding of the subjects, someone can be seriously mislead... Don't try to shoot two rabbits with one bullet and look for information elsewhere!

Money well spent!

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } This is an easy to read and beautifully illustrated guide. While the book does not shy away from chemical terminology such as METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, it does not drown you with unnecessary pompous descriptions or information. It simply tells you in which products it can be found, what the exposure risks are and what studies have concluded in three sentences all under the most important heading of : CHEMICALS YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT.The over 30 years of experience in teaching and practicing which the author has, shine through beautifully in the way he book is written and broken down (four parts). The sections are clearly color coded making it a breeze to find exactly what you are looking for. Part 3 is certain to become a favorite of anyone because it presents the essential oils in a complete manner without becoming overwhelming nor boring. Complete descriptions include the botanical name (extremely important) description, cautions, precautions, main chemical components with their benefits/warnings and last but not least: the guidelines for using. But dont worry about the calculator, you wont need it because even when you are told is a X% dilution, it also tells you exactly how many EO drops per milliliter you need.As far as the formulations: I made the first, and I was so excited i shared it with one person...which became twenty within a week wanting to know more about it and offering to pay for their own jar...If you are in business that is great, but my plan was just to pamper myself....

Happy Customer

Skin treatments for all skin types, using essential oils!

This book is very informative! I teach at an Esthetics School and needed something to compliment my lessons on aromatherapy and skin treatments. It’s very scientifically based, which I appreciate. There is a whole chapter on skin anatomy and skin types, why and how different essential oils should and could be used. I love all the recipes the author has included all the while caring about what chemicals are in essential oils and utilizing them safely on the skin. If you want a good read as well as useful information, this is the book for you!
