Gail and Tina have done a wonderful job of combining a dictionary of cosmetic formulating terminology with actual explanations, examples and charts that will be helpful for anyone, especially beginners, learning how to formulate like a professional. This book explains absolutely everything that a formulator needs to know, and discusses the key principles that the School of Natural Skincare teaches in their classes. It can be read (probably more than once!) when it first arrives, and then kept close to your fingertips, possibly in your home or lab, as you continue to formulate. I wish I had been given a book like this when I was just starting out! Well done! I highly recommend it to anyone.” Kirsten Thomas, President Ayr Skin Care Review: Great reference for cosmetic formulation terminology - I just downloaded the Kindle version of this book. Have noted some negative reviews complaining that there weren't enough recipes included. The book is a tool for understanding natural cosmetic formulation terminology. You will see that it is described clearly what the book encompasses on the description that accompanies the page for this book on desertcart. So, some of the complaints I see here from reviewers seem unwarranted. If you see in the book, there is a link to their website to download: 1) A global supplier list, 2) Example product formulas, 3) Customizable product development brief, 4) Five-day formulation mini-course, 5) other helpful resources, to be sent to your e-mail address, once you have purchased the book. I for one have gone to the internet for numerous natural recipes for skin or hair care, but would like to understand more thoroughly how to formulate my own customized recipes, if possible. This book is a great tool, and a step for me, in that direction, while not yet sure I would want to invest in a full course to learn this. Review: Great Reference Guide - Really Pleased with My Purchase - I am really pleased with this purchase and will certainly be buying myself a “coffee table” version when it comes to print! It absolutely is a definitive guide for beginners – it is very thorough and detailed in its descriptions -and helped me gain a better understanding of terminology and theory in an easy to find A-Z format. Although it doesn’t contain recipes there are some free bonuses that include a super useful global suppliers list and some examples of product formulas. I haven’t really started formulating seriously yet so I am looking forward to getting stuck into the 5-day formulation mini challenge that is also included with the book bonuses. I can see myself referring to this book time and again and maybe buying a few as gifts! Great value book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #928,399 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #48 in Home-Based Businesses #81 in Grooming & Style #474 in Home-Based Businesses eBooks | ## Images ![A-Z of Natural Cosmetic Formulation: The definitive beginners’ guide to the essential terminology, theories and ingredient types needed to formulate professional cosmetic products - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715d6bg5nqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great reference for cosmetic formulation terminology *by E***T on May 14, 2020* I just downloaded the Kindle version of this book.
