Naked: Botanical Recipes for Vibrant Skin and Healthy Hair

This book is well worth the purchase price. I found so many interesting facts and recipes for everything from bug spray to facial products, and so much more. Very well written.

Great recipes for natural products I use everyday. Fantastic book

I happen to be fortunate to live in the same town as Elaine, know several folks who have taken her classes, am currently in one myself and personally have tried some of her recipes…..I am 68 and throughout the decades, believe me when I say I have tried 'many' facial products with increasingly large price tags and larger claims of being grown by the phases of the moon, natural, organic and oh so much more… none of these however, touch the quality and degree of satisfaction that Elaine's recipes offer. I have found them to be deeply nourishing to my skin and equally as important to my inner wisdom which appreciates products whose ingredients not only my mind can read!… but my body can process without harm. Elaine's years of study, understanding plant medicine and her willingness to share this gift with her readers is not to be missed. Her work is a rare gift.

This beautiful book is so lovely, it is even relaxing just to read it! The recipes are so clear that I am not intimidated by them, which says a lot because I am usually afraid to try crafty things like this. I am just not a crafty person, but I want to save money and have great skin products, so I am excited to make my own stuff that I know has real ingredients and no harsh industrial chemicals. This book has made craftyness accessible to me, and even better for things that I need and want to use. No more ridiculous woven pot holders for me, I am going to use this book to start my first craft hobby! I cant wait :) Naked makes it easy to make my own stuff.

There are many reasons to recommend this book. The author, Elaine Sheff, has a very loving touch, with her words of inspiration sprinkled everywhere in the book. She delves into the scientific facts, but she always brings you back to real beauty, that which comes from within. The photographs of flowers and herbs are so beautiful they motivate you to try out her many recipes, which are so carefully laid out that they are easy to follow. The closing messages in themselves make it worthwhile to buy this book!

Take your health to the next level and make your own chemical-free body care products. This book is well written, an easy to understand format and very informative. The recipes are simple, easy and fun to make. I have made several recipes and they really work! The products are also great to give as gifts. You can't go wrong with this book and you will save money. But, most importantly, you will stop putting toxic chemicals on your skin.

Herbalist Elaine Sheff has created a visually stunning and comprehensive approach to utilizing wholesome and nourishing ingredients to create luscious skin care and therapeutic modalities for your whole family. I can’t wait to dive in!

I've tried quite a few of these recipes, and have loved it. The lip balm, body butter, deodorant, and much more.
