  • It’s like a dictionary for skin care ingredients
Format: Paperback
Simple book with super explanations on so many different ingredients used in skin care products. I find it very useful and helpful, especially considering I have end stage liver disease. Worth the investment to have on your bookshelf.

  • Great!
Format: Paperback
So far I’ve enjoyed this book, I just wish I knew it was more just about ingredients and information on DIY… still love learning about all it has to offer!

  • adds some updated ingredient information to the industry standards
Format: Paperback
LE here. Upon first glace I wasn't sure this book would be something to keep when I saw it excluded alpha arbutin which is a pretty widely used and known ingredient in 2021. I looked further to see how many other common ingredients were missing, but found that it includes several ingredients Milady's dictionary is lacking. It has black current bud floral wax, black currant leaf extract and black current seed oil - Milady only mentions the extract and seed oil. Beauty Geek's Guide also includes ingredients that are becoming more common in wholistic skincare like astragalus. I appreciate the different approach this dictionary takes to it's descriptions and content. Useful reference! ... show more

I learned so much about the ingredients that go in our skin and hair products. The author made it easy to understand what is in our products we use every and the effects.

  • I'm that Geek
Format: Paperback
I'm a geek who loves to know ingredients in products. Shocking how most all that we buy have the same exact chemical compounds.
