A great information packed book, which also gives lots of recipes for making your own beauty products. I look forward to trying some of them.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was very informative. It broke down all the different categories of sustainable beauty and shared a lot of helpful information on each category. I learned a lot from reading this book.

This book by Justine Jenkins focuses on how to be more sustainable when it comes to beauty products. It goes without saying that we need to be more conscious about what and how we consume. This is an excellent book if you are interested in sustainable beauty and what to look out for when you are thinking of buying a beauty product. I really like the fact that the author has included some ideas on how to repurpose packaging, especially bits that cannot be recycled.

Now for my favourite part of the book - the beauty recipes. There are a variety of recipes, from face mask to lip balm. For most, you need to buy specific ingredients, but the oat face mask was really easy, requiring only 2 ingredients and my skin felt very soft afterwards. I didn't quite agree with the vodka hand sanitiser as there is no way of confirming that the alcohol content is adequately high to kill most bacteria and viruses. For that, this book gets 4 stars instead of 5!

I have been making sustainable beauty products for years now, and I am always interested in learning more about this subject. This book is a good introduction to the subject, and for anyone interesting in this subject who wants to learn about this craft, I would recommend this book! I have made most of these myself before, with a twist here and there, but found one new interesting thing I will try out soon.

A wonderful guide beautiful photography b.I will be trying many of these recipes.This would also be a wonderful gift to give to your girlfriends.#netgalley #quarto

Tons of information and “recipes” for making homemade beauty products. I am guilty of buying a ton of products to take care of my skin so I am anxious to try out some of these. The ingredients seem easily accessible (or there’s always the internet) and the directions are easy to follow.

The pictures in the book are gorgeous.

This is a good modern guide to buying and using face, body and hair products that are good for the environment, sustainable, organic, cruelty-free, vegan, good for you and your skin and hair, etc. It breaks down what all of those criteria are and how they're not always the same (it can be not tested on animals but still contain animal products, for instance, or vegan but contain bad-for-you chemicals). It gives advice on buying things that are best for the environment and also recipes for moisturizers, hair treatments, soaks, etc. There is also info on which products to use for various applications (tinted moisturizer versus powder foundation versus BB cream verses mineral makeup and so on), what ingredients can slowly trash your hair or skin (some of these were news to me but make sense), and a lot more. Stock photos accompany a lot of the book but I would have appreciated photos of makeup techniques and recipes. It's not incredibly detailed but it's a very good primer, maybe best checked out from the library unless you're going to commit to buying the ingredients for the various recipes.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

This is a stunning guide! The photography is beautiful. The recipes look fantastic and I can't wait to give them a try. This is a resource I will return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.
