I was disappointed with this book. It seems to be missing many key ingredients that are common in skin care items. I find the descriptions a little unclear and the book really offers no clear guidance on what ingredients will fix certain skin problems. Save your money and buy a better book or even just google a reputable site and use that information

It is very good to a first approach to the skin care ingredients. I liked that it has at the beginning a brief explanation of the skin problems and the right way to read a label. It is not an exhaustive list of all the ingredients we can find.

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!

loved that the first 3 parts weren’t too long. it was basic. and then the rest are definitions of each ingredient. the last part wasn’t what i was expecting but worth a shot of trying. i don’t think i’ll make product until i understand the biochemistry behind ingredients
