Most of us, at one point or another, have dreamed of creating our own beauty products.\u00a0 Remember rummaging through mom\u2019s bathroom cupboard with your girlfriends?\u00a0 Or maybe even mixing up a mud mask in your back yard?<\/p>\n

Well, Julie Gabriel has taken this to all new levels, with her latest book Green Beauty Recipes<\/a>.\u00a0 Julie\u2019s first book, The Green Beauty Guide <\/a>was first reviewed on Feelgood Style by Terri Bly.\u00a0 While I never had much inclination toward whipping up my own beauty products as an adult, that book really did get me in the kitchen.\u00a0 And there are still several items that I blend on my own regularly.<\/p>\n

Julie\u2019s first book told the story of natural beauty products:\u00a0 which ingredients are healthy, which are to be avoided, and why.\u00a0\u00a0In this second book she shares her \u201ctriple-tested\u201d natural beauty recipes with the rest of us.\u00a0 And this is no pamphlet, but a nice big book chock full o\u2019 yummy and effective green beauty concoctions you can make yourself.<\/p>\n

Julie\u2019s diy beauty recipes don\u2019t cost a lot of money or time to make.\u00a0 Certain recipes may have an ingredient that is a bit more costly, but these are optional and can be omitted.\u00a0 Most of the ingredients you will need to make Julie\u2019s recipes can be found in your own kitchen or at your local grocery store.<\/p>\n

Julie has created this cookbook of sorts as a way for you to create the toxin-free beauty products you are looking for and trust that each ingredient is in fact safe because, well, you control the ingredients that are used.<\/p>\n

Julie recommends using ingredients in these recipes that are organic, raw or minimally-processed, and non-GMO wherever possible.\u00a0 Most recipes are free from animal ingredients with the exception of milk, yogurt, and beeswax.\u00a0 No synthetic preservatives, penetration enhancers, talc, artificial dyes or fragrances are used in any of the recipes.<\/p>\n

Julie carefully outlines the tools and techniques to creating your own beauty products.\u00a0 She also lays down the ins and outs of working with essential oils, where to purchase ingredients, how to create beauty product labels (for those of you looking to go into business), and how to store your finished products.\u00a0 The book even includes a shopping list of items to pick up during your weekly grocery run.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Starting with cleansers and working through to hair care, deodorants, and even fragrance, Green Beauty Recipes will become your go-to for homemade natural skincare remedies and beauty products.\u00a0 And a bible for those of you looking to start your own green beauty line.<\/p>\n

Julie Gabriel is a holistic nutritionist, journalist, former beauty editor, and founder of Petite Marie Organics <\/a>line of natural beauty products.\u00a0 Green Beauty Recipes will launch November 1st, 2010 and will be available in bookstores and fine health food stores in the US and Canada, as well as Amazon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
