by Christina Deneka (Author)

So much can be made at home with the essential oils you love in under five hours-including soap. This book is packed with over 100 formerly secret recipes to formulate your clean skincare, body-care and Castile soap. With Christina as your guide, use your basic kitchen skills to make items like facial serum, toner, lip balm, deodorant and even soap with efficient ease like a pro.

"The goal of this book is to rocket you to the top of the learning curve I scaled over ten years formulating 25,000+ clean personal care items for Hollow Daze Surf Designs." -Christina Deneka, founder of Hollow Daze U

In part one, Christina shares her signature skincare and body-care formulations, including the bestselling Shaman Super Stick, Lavender Lip Balm, Lighthouse Lemongrass Spray and Frankincense Facial Serum.

In part two, learn how to easily make Castile soap at home from scratch and without fear using a dedicated crockpot and stick blender.

In part three, Christina's themed production menus enable readers to create items with maximum efficiency, just like planning and executing a multi-course meal. And you will ultimately learn how to translate your dreams into reality with your own custom formulations.

Christina removes the guesswork by including information on sourcing ingredients, packaging and labeling to help readers make the shift from consumer to producer. It is extremely empowering when applied to making your own clean personal care items, and you will never read an ingredient label the same way again.
