In fact, many of the all-natural ingredients in this debut from blogger Annie Strole can be found in the average grocery store or pharmacy. Recipes for hair (Coconut Lavender Shampoo), skin (Detoxifying Blueberry Mask), and body (Lemongrass Bug Repellant) are coded by icons indicating what hair and skin types they work with, and whether they're one-time use items or suitable for gift-giving.
