After attending a natural product workshop during her time as an aromatherapy student, Nicole Seabrook became interested in creating her own, personalized natural products. Her mission to discontinue using chemical products in her home in favor of all things natural proved a tough challenge at first as it was difficult to source certain ingredients in South Africa. However, as consumers become more aware of the toxic chemicals present in everyday household cleaning agents and cosmetics, and are keen to go green, these ingredients are now readily available at specialty health shops and pharmacies. Nicole also saw the need for a book on how to make these products at home in a practical, affordable and easy way."Soaps, Bubbles & Scrubs" comprises more than 100 simple, easy-to-follow recipes that Nicole has developed for use on your body and in your home. There are chapters on facial products, hair products, treatments for hands and feet, as well as products for babies and children, and for use during pregnancy. She also shows you how to make glycerin and cold-process soaps, and discusses the various essential oils and their uses.

The book details the tools and methods used to produce these economical, healthy beaty and comfort aids from soaps to face creams, body oils and lotions, massage oils, body and foot softeners, baby care, and child care products.. Even if you have never considered making these products for yourself and think it would be labor intensive, think again!

The tools are simple and the ingredients are easy to purchase, and some are even already in your kitchen.
