I already have a lot of knowledge and experience with creating my own products, but this book is a great resource. The recipes are simple but give the impression of luxury and sophistication. A truly wonderful book. I bought this book for myself as an early Christmas present. I already have a lot of knowledge and experience with creating my own products, but this book is a great resource.

You can just use regular or manuka honey from the supermarket. I usually buy online as there is more choice and it is much cheaper. My favourite is www.fresholi.co.uk for oils,waxes and butters. Delivery is fast with great customer service. I run classes at www.themakelounge.com if you want hands on practical help. Regards Karen Hi Foni

When launching a cosmetic product range, the main issue to contend with is legal requirements and regulations. These do change fairly often, so I imagine a book on the subject would go out of date quickly. Aromantic run a course in London on compliance so that might be worth a look as it is run by someone who works in that area and will have all the up to date info.

The theory of construction is the same but the level of fragrance and type of ingredients used may vary slightly depending on the product. We can definitely go over this on the day. I have people from a variety of backgrounds at the classes including aromatherapists and people making and selling their own natural products so I think it would be a good starting point for you. Re books, nothing immediately springs to mind but I will have a think and drop you an email. Regards Karen Hi Melissa

I am keen to develop fragrances that translate to oil and salt based products. While I am experimenting with the rules of aromatherapy would this workshop open up a new range of fragrances that could work too? I'm also interested in the levels of intensity of scent, a lot of products are heavily scented, will you be guiding us on industry standards? Final random request, could you recommend any business books about launching a natural product range? I am a marketeer by trade but have never worked in the product sector, just publishing and TV. Any pointers gratefully received. Thanks and best, Melissa Hi Karen,
