Using recipes handed down for generations, this book shows you how to make your own non-toxic cosmetics and provides an alternative to today's industrially made, expensive products. The clever combination of fruits, vegetables and herbs with other natural substances such as honey, vinegar and cocoa butter produces a vast range of shampoos, conditioners, skin lotions, balms, tonics and creams. There is even a "miracle" water for keeping healthy and young. This book is fully illustrated throughout with step-by-step instructions, so that the reader can make natural preparations which are fresh and allergy free.
