Sustainable Beauty: A collection of 50 simple zero waste beauty recipes to give you naturally beautiful skin and hair: 30 Recipes to Create Your New Head to Toe Zero-Waste Beauty Routine

I was eager to read this book as I’ve been making my own soap and solid shampoo for a year now and wanted to see what else I could make to my own needs and likes taking into account my allergies. Making your own products has the added bonus of less plastic and cardboard packaging too. I was delighted to find I already had stocks of many of the oils and butters needed for the recipes in the book due to my previous soap and shampoo makes.As I’m allergic to lavender essential oil and it is a very popular oil in these recipes, I had to be prepared to make substitutions for oils I can tolerate such as mandarin and lemon. I wanted to make Honey Face Wash, Fizzy Lavender & Lemon Foot Soak (I tried rose essential oil in place of lavender) and Whipped Sweet Orange Body Butter straight away. My favourite make is Peppermint & Lime Foot Salt Scrub.What lovely photography throughout the book and clear step by step instructions. A wholehearted five stars.

I was so pleased to get a copy of this as It has been a. real pleasure to read through this book. The recipes are easy to follow and the range of products well thought through.Most importantly I have not just read about how to make my own products I have made some and they were so good I will continue to make them. So a real eye opener to sustainable beauty products that inspires the reader to create their own and enjoy the process whilst also limiting their carbon footprint!
