A-Z of Natural Cosmetic Formulation: The definitive beginners’ guide to the essential terminology, theories and ingredient types needed to formulate professional cosmetic products

I just downloaded the Kindle version of this book. Have noted some negative reviews complaining that there weren't enough recipes included. The book is a tool for understanding natural cosmetic formulation terminology. You will see that it is described clearly what the book encompasses on the description that accompanies the page for this book on Amazon. So, some of the complaints I see here from reviewers seem unwarranted. If you see in the book, there is a link to their website to download: 1) A global supplier list, 2) Example product formulas, 3) Customizable product development brief, 4) Five-day formulation mini-course, 5) other helpful resources, to be sent to your e-mail address, once you have purchased the book. I for one have gone to the internet for numerous natural recipes for skin or hair care, but would like to understand more thoroughly how to formulate my own customized recipes, if possible. This book is a great tool, and a step for me, in that direction, while not yet sure I would want to invest in a full course to learn this.

Very useful! Just what I was looking for. Full of useful information that is hard to find elsewhere. I’ve bought several books on the subject and this one is by far my favorite. Can you folks write another one for all-natural cleaning products?! 😬

The seller was very concerned. They answered questions immediately. thank you so much. The book is not necessary, I couldn’t have special information or recipe…..

A fantastic book for those starting their formulating journey and a life long reference book for those more advanced. When starting out there is so much to take in it can be confusing. This great book is easy to follow and understand and packed full of information without being information overload. I would highly recommend it and will be getting it in actual book form too when released to keep as a valuble reference tool.
