This book explains absolutely everything that a formulator needs to know, and discusses the key principles that the School of Natural Skincare teaches in their classes.

Review: Great reference for cosmetic formulation terminology - I just downloaded the Kindle version of this book. Have noted some negative reviews complaining that there weren't enough recipes included. The book is a tool for understanding natural cosmetic formulation terminology. You will see that it is described clearly what the book encompasses on the description that accompanies the page for this book on desertcart. So, some of the complaints I see here from reviewers seem unwarranted. If you see in the book, there is a link to their website to download: 1) A global supplier list, 2) Example product formulas, 3) Customizable product development brief, 4) Five-day formulation mini-course, 5) other helpful resources, to be sent to your e-mail address, once you have purchased the book. I for one have gone to the internet for numerous natural recipes for skin or hair care, but would like to understand more thoroughly how to formulate my own customized recipes, if possible. This book is a great tool, and a step for me, in that direction, while not yet sure I would want to invest in a full course to learn this. Review: Very useful! - Very useful! Just what I was looking for. Full of useful information that is hard to find elsewhere. I’ve bought several books on the subject and this one is by far my favorite. Can you folks write another one for all-natural cleaning products?! 😬 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Amazon 売れ筋ランキング | 洋書 - 140,801位 ( 洋書の売れ筋ランキングを見る ) Home Based Small Businesses - 54位 Grooming & Style - 144位 Nonfiction Economics (洋書) - 10,191位 | | おすすめ度 | 5つ星のうち4.4 803 レビュー | ## Images ![A-Z of Natural Cosmetic Formulation: The definitive beginners’ guide to the essential terminology, theories and ingredient types needed to formulate professional cosmetic products - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61N8zD4RXiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great reference for cosmetic formulation terminology *by E***T on 2020年5月14日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み* I just downloaded the Kindle version of this book.
