Good Kit Idea, Light on Ingredients
This is a good way to look at an intro to the science of smell and beauty products. I'm giving it a 4, but it has some elements that deserve a 3 and some that deserve a 5. See below.The recipes for the spa products are simple enough for a 12 year old to do. I got this for a girl who is under 12, but with adult supervision, this is fun for an elementary school girl. Older girls would also enjoy this as well.Note: The provided ingredients are in small quantities. This has its advantages and disadvantages.It's a good intro for kids if you aren't sure whether they'll want to do it more than once.However, there was not enough baking soda or citric acid to make the Fizzy Bath Balm recipe.Either it needs a little more of the ingredients or the recipe needs to be scaled back (which for keeping the weight down for an amazon-based product, this is probably what they should have done). It could also use a small form to press the mix into. That could be added light and cheap.The ingredient quality seems decent. I am impressed with the condition of the rose buds - whole, not smashed. I would give it a 4+. The essential oil quantity is enough to do the scent experiment and make other products, but if you're an EO purist who is accustomed to getting your oils in glass bottles, you may not love these. For kids to experiment with, they're fine.The book could stand some development. On it's own, I would give it a 3.The content is decent, but it's got everything in three languages so you get to the end of the English section, expecting it to keep going and feel a little let-down.The number of activities/recipes is fine for an intro kit and it has some extension ideas you can do on your own beyond the kit. It was just the expectation with the number of pages that threw me off.Visually, though, the book is a bland grey instruction manual design with a couple of graphics. A little bit of layout editing and a little more quality in the paper and ink would take the book from a 3 to a 5.Other than wishing I had halved the first recipe, I would recommend this product for a kid who is interested in an intro kit.
