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.
