The Foundation of Skincare

The Foundation of Skincare

A Beginner’s Guide to Ingredient-Smart, Skin-Safe DIY Mastery

The Foundation of Skincare is a practical, no-nonsense guide for people who are tired of guessing what works for their skin and ready to understand why products succeed or fail.

This book is not a trend-driven recipe collection. It is a complete reference system designed to teach you how skin actually works, how ingredients interact with it, and how to build safe, effective skincare products with intention and confidence.

Rather than pushing expensive jars or miracle claims, this book focuses on knowledge. You learn how to evaluate ingredients, understand skin types, balance hydration and oils, and make informed decisions that support long-term skin health.

Inside this book you will learn:
• How skin functions as a living organ, not just a surface
• How to identify your true skin type and adjust for climate, age, and sensitivity
• The role of oils, butters, humectants, emulsifiers, and preservatives
• How to safely make lotions, balms, butters, and basic cleansers
• How to test, troubleshoot, and adjust formulas when things go wrong
• How to build simple, effective routines without unnecessary products

The book walks step by step through the why, the what, and the how of skincare. It includes clear explanations, beginner-friendly formulas, safety guidance, and extensive reference sections covering ingredient functions, pH targets, comedogenic ratings, and formulation basics.

This book is ideal for:
• People with sensitive, reactive, or hard-to-manage skin
• Parents looking for safer skincare options
• Ingredient-conscious readers who want transparency
• Beginners who want to learn properly instead of experimenting blindly

The Foundation of Skincare is the first volume in The Natural Fix series and serves as the knowledge base for every book that follows. It gives you the understanding needed to stop chasing products and start creating skincare that actually works for you.
