Herbal Cosmetics - From Plant to Well-being, 2nd Edition - PRE-ORDER (Due late April)

Originally published as "Fragrant Plants". This edition has been rewritten and many new recipes have been added.

Many of the lovely scents you encounter in the garden and in nature can be used in natural skincare. Fragrant leaves, flowers and herbs can be turned into creams, salves, oils and bath products that care for the skin and give a sense of calm, wellbeing and closeness to nature. In this book, Anemette Olesen shows how you can use garden and wild plants in simple, natural herbal cosmetics. Here you'll find recipes for bath salts, scrubs, shampoo, salves, herbal oils and other pleasantly scented products you can make yourself from plants you may already have in your garden or can find in nature.

The book also covers the best plants for natural skincare and offers inspiration for using their scents and properties in everyday life. It's a sensory introduction to creating small moments of natural beauty and wellbeing with plants as the starting point.

The book is part of our series “small books with big content,” now presented in a new, updated design.
