I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. Very informative books about essential oils. I have been really into learning more about how the oils are beneficial. This book is beautifully written. Easy to read recipes and loaded with tons of information. Highly recommend. Also has pretty photos.

Essential Oil Recipes for the Home and Body Care is a thorough book which would be helpful for anyone interested in essential oils. This book gives information about what essential oils are, what ingredients are needed, what those ingredients are for, and also includes recipes for a lot of great essential oil products.

I was impressed by the number of recipes in this book as well as alternate recipes if you are looking for something slightly different. So there are more than one take on a lot of the recipes included.

The author also included a slew of graphs and charts to help combine information into an easy to read and understand format.

This book also has phenomenal photography throughout.

All I have left to do is try out some of the recipes.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in essential oils and seems great for all skill levels. A great gift to give along with some starter ingredients or samples of your own creation.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you are new to the world of essential oils or have been an oiler for years this is a great book to add to your collection! It has a large selection of recipes to address everything from cleaning supplies, to bath products to personal care products. Some recipes will require an investment in ingredients while others are very approachable for those that are just starting out.

This book also does a great job explaining the benefits of essential oils and gives the reader some background.

This was a great book and I will definitely be making a ton of these recipes! I have always been a fan of essential oils and this is great to continue that journey!

A great resource for those wishing to start creating their own essential oil concoctions. Accompanied with beautiful pictures and detailed explanations about tools and key ingredients, the book is helpfully divided into face care, body care, first aid recipes, home spa, home life. Highly recommended.

This is a good book for essential oil recipes if you want to get really serious about making concoctions. You need a lot of supplies and ingredients for most of them so it’s going to have a high initial investment and this is going to be expensive for personal use recipes rather than a business.

I have used essential oils for decades and they definitely have a place in my home but I am very judicious in how I use them as they are in no way sustainable. The author points out that it takes 20,000 rose petals to make one drop of rose essential oil. She says this as if to prove how great EOs are but instead it should serve as a reminder to use them only when absolutely necessary. Rose water has the same benefits and needs just a handful of petals from your own backyard. For the vast majority of these recipes, you could use herbs and other ingredients for results that are just as good, cheaper, easy to grow or make yourself, and so much better for the environment.

All that said, this is a good collection of recipes for those who want to produce essential oil products.

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

This is a great book, especially for beginners! It explains the entire process of essential oils, how to use them, safety, recipes for health and wellness, and recipes for skincare. I appreciate how thorough this book was and the recipes it entails.

Essential Oil Recipes for Home and Body Care : 100+ Organic Products to Help You Feel Better is the perfect guidebook and manual for anyone wanting to have a go at using essential oils for self and home care. The layout and the photographs are beautiful and you will be inspired just dipping into it for a browse. There are recipes for all sorts of products from body care to candles and home cleaners. If you are looking to become more eco friendly this is a lovely book, and it would also make a great gift book.

Beautiful and useful companion book. Great to have at home! The book explains about essential oils and its benefits, and talk about the ingredients and equipments. Then there are some blend recipes (sleep support, mood lifting, headache, stomach, hormone). After that you’ll find recipes for face care, body care, first aid recipes, home spa, home life recipes. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

I love using essential oils for relaxation, whether in some Epsom salts for a bath or in a diffuser. So I grabbed this book from NetGalley when I saw it. It is a beautiful “cookbook” for homemade essential oil products ranging from oil mixes for anxiety to beauty products like a tangerine salt scrub to products for your home like a lemon verbena kitchen cleanser and the book is arranged accordingly. The layout and pictures are beautiful and each recipe is organized clearly with easy to follow instructions.

The author also includes some science and history for the use of E.O.’s like the variety of ways the oils are made, the safety and quality of the oils, etc. While I do not believe essential oils cure cancer I do believe they have properties that can help a person feel better symptomatically. This seems the perfect book for someone wanting to know more about essential oils and how to use them. Id buy a copy of this book for myself or a loved one.

The author details essential oils, from different types to their common uses. She provides various essential oil products, including face, body, bath, kitchen cleaners, salves, lotions, balms, butters, and candles. I really liked that she included a recipe on tattoo aftercare, as I have not read any essential oil recipe books that do. Coconut face milk is a recipe I look forward to making. All the essential oils are listed with complimentary oils and variations on recipe ingredients. The author has also included many high-quality images to complement the book. Very nice.

As a long time essential oil user I was not expecting to learn very many new recipes when I decided to take a look at this book. I was so surprised in a good way to see so many useful ideas that I had not heard of before!

I love the photos - some of them were so delicious looking I started to feel hungry! Pages 17 and 96 are my favorite because the photos are so gorgeous. This would be a wonderful gift for someone no matter what their experience level with essential oils may be.

We are an essential oil home: I even spritz my dad at the nursing home as it helps him stay calm while we visit. If you are wanting to make money on Etsy, this is a good starting point as there are so many sellers of essential oils on there it must be a lucrative business! Ditto Facebook Marketplace and at craft fairs. Everything is well explained and the oils are looked into in depth: a great book for your own personal use as well as a potential income source.

I think this book is very informative and I can't wait to purchase this book for my apothecary that I am growing. I currently use essential oils in my soaps and deodorants that I make. Its nice to see new recipes. I can't wait to try some of these the next time I make some homemade personal care items.

I love making items with essential oils and this book has a great variety of recipes. The book provides so much detail, which is great for beginners but also a great guide for an experienced user. I can’t wait to try out the bath salts and the carpet powder!
