Is there any book out there that can give me the best knowledge on natural ingredients used in natural beauty products? And possibly some good recipes? 
 
Without wanting to blow Jo’s trumpet too loudly, her book The Ultimate Natural Beauty Book has had some pretty stellar reviews on www.amazon.co.uk, which you can click here to read.  There are almost 100 recipes in there, with lots of information about different ingredients and what they can do for your skin, hair, body etc. (and the book – which is normally priced £14.99, is £8.23 on the Amazon site.)  A couple of book that Jo herself very much enjoys are Neal’s Yard Remedies Recipes for Natural Beauty by Romy Fraser (normally £9.99 but £6.05 at www.amazon.co.uk, if you click here), and a weightier hardback Neal’s Yard Remedies Natural Health and Body Care by Romy Fraser and Susan Curtis (usually £17.99 but £12.49 if you click here to find it at www.amazon.co.uk).  Also, you might like to have a jolly good mooch in secondhand bookstores for the wonderful Vogue health and beauty series of books by Bronwen Meredith, which were published in the 1970s (there are plenty of copies out there), and which are a fount of knowledge on the subject.  (They’re what got Jo interested in making cosmetics in the first place.)  There’s a good selection of them on www.abebooks.co.uk, too, a useful secondhand book website.
