Power of the Seed is an engaging, illustrated guide book that shows the reader the meaning and uses of fatty acids, omega oils, trans-fats, saturated and unsaturated oils. It also offers instruction on how to use these oils to create topical skin care, cosmetics and massage oils. Susan M. Parker presents advice and in-depth information on the different types, sources, uses and structures of these precious oils. Over 90 rare and common oils are discussed, along with suggestions for creating new recipes. Review: Incredibly useful book written with enthusiasm - This book is amazing for the reader who wants to understand the science of oils without developing a headache in the process! Susan Parker explains with lay-person simplicity - and yet great detail - the chemical structures of carrier oils, their properties and how they work when applied to the body and why they are good for you. In doing so, she also explains a bit about how essential oils work - in fact, I highly recommend reading this book before the much lauded Advanced Aromatherapy by Kurt Schnaubelt, which I found assumed the reader had a lot of scientific knowledge already. As Parker explained oil components in this book, so the charts and jargon in Schnaubelt’s book started to make sense. Reading this book was a revelation. I now have a much better understanding of how I can use carrier oils for home-made beauty treatments. It got me really excited about designing formulas for my hair and skin and I have already created and started using a light-weight neroli face serum using four oils perfect for the task. I agree with another reviewer that a table of oils and their comedogenic ratings would enhance a future edition of this book but there is no way I am dropping a star for that because this book overall is so fantastic. It offers something that no other book seems to: clarity, layman’s terms, inspiration. I may sound over-effusive but the book is THAT good and I regularly refer back to it. Thank you Susan Parker! Review: Power of the seed- Great book - I love this book. I like the way Susan M.Parker has written it. It is full of information and that I don't have to go online to check all the time for different oils. I have not finished reading the book fully but anyone who is thinking about this book should buy it. Whenever I am researching to make my products and want to experiment with new oils I check in this book. It is so easy to read and I like the fonts too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 543,923 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,566 in Beauty & Fashion (Books) 3,307 in Self Help Stress Management 21,865 in Hobbies & Crafts | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 366 Reviews | ## Images ![Power of the Seed : Your Guide to Oils for Health & Beauty (Process Self-Reliance) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pSTN-O-wL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly useful book written with enthusiasm *by A***Y on 25 February 2021* This book is amazing for the reader who wants to understand the science of oils without developing a headache in the process!
