LILI: make your own essential oils & skin care products LILI: make your own essential oils & skin care products
Daniel Coaten

There are many books available on using essential oils - now there is one on how to make your own. This book accompanies a residential weekend course, and a distillation kit to carry out the procedures outlined in the book. Making your own essential oils can be a fascinating hobby, or for the professional aromatherapist, a way of ensuring that your products are fresh, unadulterated and organic. This book also describes how to make creams, lotions, balms, gels, tinctures and other skin-care products from the essential oils and distillate waters you have produced. 209pp
