Using equipment and ingredients that are easy to find and might already be in your home, tackle a dry scalp with the help of a rosemary and apple-cider vinegar infusion, soothe sunburns with a simple three-ingredient aloe vera mixture, and create a stress-relieving tincture made from fresh lemon balm and roses.

In addition to a wide array of homemade products, there will be information on where to source high-quality materials, safety tips, and the benefits of her chosen ingredients. You'll soon fill your cabinet with a collection of DIY beauty, health, and wellness products that are as useful as they are simple to make.
