My 13 yo dd wants to try making natural bath and body products and cosmetics at home. I would love to get her a book or two on the subject and possibly some sort of beginner's "kit" or basic ingredients to get her started. I have never done this sort of thing, but I'm generally handy both in the kitchen and with multiple crafts, so I think we could handle it fine.
I tried looking around online, but am overwhelmed by the volume of stuff available and don't really know where to begin. So I thought I'd drop by and ask the mamas here.
Can someone suggest a good book to begin with? How about a place to find reasonably-priced, decent-quality ingredients? Is there someplace that carries an affordable "starter assortment" of essential oils? Say you had $75 (max) to spend between books and ingredients, what sort of "package" would you put together for a 13 yo girl?
TIA!

is an AWESOME book! It has everything in it too and it's very useful for all kinds of things from deodorant to foot soaks, lip balms, bath teas, oils, cleansing grains, moisturizers, tooth powders, perfumes and more! There is a chapter in it especially for teen products as well.
