I requested this book since I was dabbling in natural beauty regimes. This has quite a few ingredients that I can not get my hands on, regularly and therefore did not finish reading it.
It has some interesting combinations of things as well as suggestions and tips. The tips actual include side effects as well.
For anyone very interested in investing a little time into setting a regular routine, this book will be very helpful

This book was thorough but had easy to follow recipes for different kinds of bath products. I enjoy the idea of using fresh ingredients and having bath products that I make myself. The layout was good and I liked reading it.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I like books like this. I like being able to make my open personal care items since I have alleries to some things. It makes me feel very creative and like I have done something great when I created one of the recipes. This book made it very simple and easy to do once I have the correct ingredients and items before me.

Excellent resource for a variety of patron needs. Whether readers are looking to reduce the amount of chemicals in their spa products or looking for cute homemade gift ideas, McArthur's new release has something for everyone.

Thank you to the author, Net Galley and Dover Publications for an advance copy of Spa Apothecary. I enjoyed this book, and I think it's perfect for anyone looking to use what they have at home, to get away from chemical laden store products or just understand what ingredients do for you. I believe this book would be best for a beginner into creating your own products, but the author gives such a great variety of options, you'll find yourself creating in no time. I especially loved the breakdown of each section, so it was easy to find just what you might be looking for. Really well done.
