A favourite in our house....
Jan’s book doesn’t disappoint. Full of creative and inspiring ideas. All ingredients are easily sourced from soap-making suppliers and on amazon. Perfect if you want to avoid mass-marketed rubbish laden with irritants & toxins. I might be a bit biased as I’va had a girl crush on the Nerdy Farmwife for ages....

In her book, Jan Berry, has added all the ingredients. The emulsifying waxes, the preservatives, and tons of infos about both and other products that ARE necessary in all creams and lotions recipes. In too many books, they don't put them in their recipes, yet.. after few days only, bacterias and their friends are inviting themselves in the product. So why putting ourselves in a risky recipe challenge and others as well (if offering creams and lotions to family and friends or .. even selling them ! ). She has done a very extensive tutorial on tests she has done with many different products like emulsifying waxes and preservatives. The document is in her blog (the nerdyfarmwife.com) A very extensive book that has put others close to the 'to give box' in my case.

I love this book! If your into DIY natural products at home this book is for you. Most recipes require only a few ingredients,ingredients easy to find at vendors who sell oils and herbs like Mountain Rose Herbs, and most you can pick right from your yard like dandelion and sunflowers. I know a lot of these recipes are effective because over the years I myself made very similar versions and had great results. I never wrote them down, so I am pleased to have Jan's book as a reference now. The pictures are stunning, the recipes easy to read and uncomplicated. I love that she gives a customizable recipe for the lotions, balms and salves so that you have a basic recipe to follow. There is even a section to making natural soaps and basic instructions- and unlike Anne-Marie Faiola who wrote Pure Soapmaking ( a joke about natural by the way)- Jan Berry"s recipes ARE Natural and effective. (This girl is all about Natural). By far Jan is the Soap Queen of natural soaps and I have had way better success using Jan's natural soap recipes. There is no hidden agenda in this book either- she's not selling her company like the other Queen- Jan is a very knowledgeable in her field and loves to share her passion. She is bright, respectful and very helpful in her field. Her FB page is one of the best groups- informational supportive and full of great insight. I love that she included a small pet section and I am eager to try the dry shampoo on my short haired terrier when the snow stops blowing. There is a section for homecare and some great natural recipes. You can always double up her recipes to make larger batches. The beginning of the book explains about oils, butters and other additives, and even recommends tools you may need. Most of it we have or can purchase at second hand stores. Containers may be your biggest need, but health food stores like Wholefoods carry various containers in their health and beauty section now. This is the perfect book for the purist or naturalist who is just getting into the field of herbalism, and I enjoyed the book from cover to cover. I highly recommend it as a reference book for your apothecary.
