Did you know that there is no regulation on commercially sold products? Some products we buy everyday contain ingredients that are known to cause irritation and in worst-case scenario even cause cancer. Until a few years ago, I didn't know either. Once I learned more about what ingredients were in store-bought products, the more control I wanted over what I was exposing myself to, and learned how easy it was to DIY things instead of buying them from the store. It is so empowering to make your own products. It gives you peace of mind to know exactly what you are putting on and in your body. My hope is that this book shows you that ease and empowers you to try it for yourself. This book: ✅ Explains the ingredients for each recipe as well as why they are included ✅ Includes links and guidance on where ingredients can be found, and what to look for when making your purchase ✅ Has scannable QR codes to access video tutorials for each recipe ✅ Answers frequently asked questions regarding recipe yield, shelf-life, and optional ingredients ✅ Provides step-by-step instructions on how to make and use each recipe This book is perfect for: ✅ Anyone looking to take control of their health and well-being ✅ Gifting to the DIY-er in your life ✅ You, yes you!
