3. General aspects of home cosmetics recipes
There are two main types of recipe. On the Internet, you'll find recipes that use only ingredients you can find in your kitchen, such as vinegar or sodium bicarbonate, and others that can be described as "more sophisticated", since they include synthetic ingredients (see table 1 ) that should be obtained from a supplier who specializes in this field, such as Aroma Zone, Joli'Essence or My Cosmetik. Some of these recipes claim a therapeutic action and are therefore not, by definition, cosmetic products for which it is forbidden to claim that they treat any disease.
