Description
With a flood of research showing the dangers of chemicals and toxins in most skin care products, cleaners, and food items, The Big Book of Homemade Products for Your Skin, Health and Home shows readers how to make nontoxic homemade products they can trust.
This new and expanded edition of 101 Easy Homemade Products for Your Skin, Health and Home serves as a complete resource for readers' green living habits and contains 50 brand new recipes for natural products you can use every day.
Readers get a huge variety of projects, including natural skin care products like Dandelion Body Butter, bath and beauty products like Fizzy Rose Lemonade Soak and Forsythia Clear Skin Toner, soaps like Sunflower Shampoo Bar or Carrot & Calendula Soap, home products like Lavender Fabric Softener and Thyme Counter Cleaner, health remedies like Basil Mint Sore Throat Spray, and pet products like Herbal Dry Shampoo or Flea-Repelling Powder.
Our book stands out from others on the market because each project uses real herbs, flowers, and other plants, instead of essential oils or manufactured solutions. This makes the projects more affordable and effective.
Newcomers to Jan Berry's blog and books will love the easy guides and step-by-step projects for going green in every part of their lives, and the new recipes give the book a fresh start in the growing market of natural DIY products.
This book has 151 projects and over 100 photos.
