This beautifully illustrated guide from Paris's iconic Officine Universelle Buly embodies the elegance of the Parisian beauty standard, offering easy-to-follow recipes for enhancing natural beauty. Emphasizing the philosophy that caring for oneself should be simple and enjoyable, the book reflects the legacy of a legendary beauty emporium founded in 1803. Over the years, it has introduced natural skin and body care to seven cities worldwide, showcasing clays, oils, and plant-based powders curated by Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touhami during their travels. The book serves as an encyclopedic resource filled with straightforward recipes and protocols designed to help anyone enhance their natural beauty. Readers can explore Buly's unique aesthetic heritage as a French apothecary while learning about the modern uses of over eighty diverse ingredients, including seeds, flowers, oils, and herbs. Each ingredient, from apricot and avocado to argan oil and jasmine, is beautifully illustrated and accompanied by its origin, primary uses, and beauty recipes. These accessible ingredients and easy-to-replicate recipes, such as oat baths, sake lotions, and lemon "shine water," empower readers to take care of themselves confidently. This exquisite guide is an ideal gift for both newcomers and beauty enthusiasts alike.
