UPDATED 2nd EDITION!

In this ground-breaking guide, the author shares her own unique approach to creating first-quality natural products. With no more skill than the ability to measure and stir, you can create best-selling natural bath and beauty products your customers (and family!) will love - and beg for more of.

This guide is far more than a traditional "how to" book. Each type of natural product is prefaced with insightful background information, and better than a simple recipe (though there are over 100 of those!), you are given the base formula so you can create your own unique, custom line of natural beauty products.

The culmination of more than 15 years' experience creating and selling natural beauty products, this book is invaluable to anyone who is interested in creating their own beautiful products for bath and body.
