Buy Full Notes

Before personally meeting Mademoiselle Organic, I didn’t even know you could make your own skin care and beauty products (or rather, this is not something that had crossed my mind!). And yet, this trend is growing, especially in France. People are getting increasingly worried by the hormone disruptors used in the products of supermarket brands and there’s also a desire to use clean and environment-friendly products. Not to mention the fun side of making your own recipes at a reasonable price. But the complete beginner will have lots of questions, such as: Is it dangerous to make your own products? Which products are the easiest to make? Where to find the ingredients? I asked Mademoiselle Organic, our expert on the topic!
