- This dictionary is SO POWERFUL! I literally will not go shopping for beauty products unless I have it with me as a quick reference. I'm sure people at the mall or drugstore look at me like I'm insane, but I don't care because I have so much more money in my purse now that I'm not wasting it on false claims on what a beauty product will do. For instance, why should you pay $30 for a pretty bottle of designer face cream.....when all it is composed of is a base of cheap, man-made mineral oil and water!?! READ THE LABEL!!! I highly recommend the next time you have the urge to buy that next luxury bath or body product - stop - get and read this book first, and then decide rather or not that product is worth all that money.
- If you are a person that reads labels, then this is a book for you. I have often been baffled when faced with the long unfamiliar chemicals and ingredients. This book breaks down the ingredients in shampoos and explains if the ingredient is effective or not. Funny, I did not realize there were so many types of alcohol. Also good if you have skin sensitivities and need to monitor the type of products used.
- Didn't realize that there are so many "poor" ingredients in makeup. Since the largest organ of the body is your skin, and it ABSORBS
all that we put on it, (check out the soap that you use) , be very careful what you buy. PRICE isn't always the answer as you will see when you buy this helpful book.
, - Are you having reactions from certain products and can not figure out why?
Perhaps there is an ingredient that is the culprit. This book will help you identify what certain ingredients are used for in cosmetics, and in many cases, why a person could be allergic.
I think that it is a great resource, although I find that it tiptoes around some things - I guess the author did not want to start panics by sounding too doom and gloom.
However, enough information is in the book, and it is set up well enough to allow for you to get the information you need with the ease of a good dictionary. I would say it is a good reference to have.
I found it to be very interesting, enlightening, and helpful reading. If you are at all interested in what ingredients you are putting on your body, this book is a must have. You might be surprised at what they are made of and what else they will do to you! - This is a very in-detail book of all the information you need to research ingredients in cosmetics. Very easy to use. I have been purchasing this book for over 20 years every time they revise it, i purchase it. Its is time that this becomes an app that we can download to our laptop/phones.
- This book is amazing! Everything you need to know of what’s in your skincare line in in this book. If you’re a dermatologist, an aesthetician or just curious and picky about what you use. I recommend.
- Don't buy the electronic version. No offence to the author, who has done phenomenal research, but shame on for having such a poor app that it doesn't support a proper dictionary search function - ergo I can't find anything. In brief, DON'T BUY THE KINDLE VERSION,
- Excellent reference book no skin care practitioner should be without. Ingredients change rapidly and there are so many to know. This keeps me abreast of most everything I get asked about.
