Review: Nice book - Really enjoy this book and making things from it. Very helpful Review: Doesn't provide formulae or correct chemistry - Whilst it has lots of nice sounding recipes, it doesnt use precise formulae and some of the chemistry in the recipes seems incorrect. Overall the book misses out key information and details on how to use preservatives and emulsifiers correctly and doesnt explain the chemistry of how certain ingredients blend. This book seems designed mainly for recipes that need using straight away o that need to be kept in the fridge, and does not focus on products that need to be stored for a long time.

De nombreuses erreurs contre les principes de base
En fait, les recettes de ce livre sont obsolètes. On sait désormais que le savon de Castille ne convient pas comme ingrédient dans un shampoing car son pH est beaucoup trop élevé pour les cheveux. Les déodorants à base de bicarbonate de soude peuvent provoquer des irritations gênantes chez de nombreuses personnes. Il existe désormais de nombreuses alternatives. Les crèmes sont fabriquées à partir de cire d’abeille et la cire d’abeille n’est pas un émulsifiant. Une crème contient toujours de l'eau ou un hydrolat, sinon ce n'est pas « officiellement » une crème. Des erreurs sont également commises ici. La conservation est dite « facultative » ce qui n'est pas fait si vous réalisez une crème à base d'eau. Placer les produits au réfrigérateur n'offre pas une protection suffisante pour éviter la formation de moisissures. Les lotions sont composées à près de 100 % d’huiles ou de graisses, ce qui les rend très lourdes. Parfois, dans les recettes qui ne contiennent pas d'eau, il est néanmoins recommandé (« facultatif ») d'utiliser un conservateur, ce qui n'est pas nécessaire. La plupart des recettes proviennent d'autres sources. Les auteurs sont crédités, mais j'espère qu'ils ont également obtenu l'autorisation des auteurs. Le livre a l'air très joli, avec de beaux dessins.

I'm disappointed, I thought this would be scientifically wholistic!
I'm disappointed with the lack of scientific wholistic knowledge that should guide a reader throughout this field of diy sustainability healing subject! It's so High School Level, I wanted and expected it to be more sophisticated !
