I didn’t think this could be possible, but somehow Jana’s stories and recipes made me appreciate nature – and clean, natural beauty – even more than I did before! She brought the power of nature’s scents and experiences to life in a whole new way for me. I’m grateful for this beautiful book and look forward to using it as a resource (and anchor!) for years to come.

In Wild Beauty, Jana lifts the veil between our modern world and the wild kingdom and guides us through the power of the elements to create beauty in every sense of the word. She introduces us to the building blocks of natural beauty to school us in both the ingredients and the processes.

First and foremost, this book is really gorgeous. It’s beautifully designed, well-written, and enhanced with lovely photos of the natural environment and the simple recipes. I’ve been working with essential oils and homemade body care for decades, so there wasn’t a ton of brand new information in this book for me – yet I still read it from cover to cover the first day I got it. This book is perfect for those that are just starting their journey with natural or homemade body care, or are looking to learn more about the history of natural perfumery and personal care ingredients. This is a great resource. I had friends over last night and they were all interested in reading it – now I just need to decide who gets to read it first!”
