"A splendid little book with beautiful illustrations. It''s
extremely well-designed and printed. It''s exactly the way to
interest someone like you and me in the ''old receipts!''"
—M.F.K. Fisher
內容簡介:
Jeanne Rose is one of America''s best known herbalists and
Kitchen Cosmetics is her most intimate guide to natural health and
beauty. Over 100 of Jeanne''s favorite recipes and tips provide safe
and simple applications created by Jeanne for her own family''s
needs. Based on common kitchen and garden ingredients - from yogurt
to berries to rosemary - these lotions, creams, and other
moisturizers, masks, teas, toothpastes, deodorants, shampoos, and
conditioners are easily prepared in the home. Shopping suggestions,
herbal cosmetic techniques for the whole body, and fascinating
herbal lore make Kitchen Cosmetics a valuable and charming guide to
natural beauty and health care.
Since its publication in 1978, Kitchen Cosmetics has become the
leading title in home preparation of natural cosmetics. It is used
by apartment dwellers who buy herbs, gardeners who tend a few pots
in sunny windows, and gardeners with spacious beds...a steadily
growing number of people who want to ''take back'' the pleasure of
working with herbs themselves - and want more control over what the
put on their hair, face, and body.
