From pampering bath treatments, to rich, soothing creams and butters, to aromatic home fragrance products --  The Handcrafter’s Companion is a collection of pampering product recipes designed to create a relaxing spa atmosphere in your own home.

The hurried, stressful pace of our daily lives often makes it difficult to find ways in which to relax. We seek to create a restful retreat in our homes -- one in which we can relax and rejuvenate our minds and bodies.

The spa industry is the fourth largest leisure industry in the United States, and continues to be highlighted in movies, television, articles and advertising.  All of these factors have combined to make the spa experience more mainstream -- and growing numbers of consumers are looking to add the spa experience to their everyday lives. 

If you are looking to capture a portion of this lucrative market, you will  need a firm foundation of products to build your line -- soothing bath salts, exfoliating body scrubs, moisturizing body lotions and balms -- just to name a few.

Discover how to create these pampering products, and transform your home into your own luxurious spa oasis!

This unprecedented collection has been meticulously compiled by the publishers of Create the Dream!? Magazine, and contains both extensive product formulations, as well as helpful resources and information on branding, product packaging, positioning and more.  Within the pages of our ebook you will discover a wide assortment of products, along with helpful resources such as our handy conversion calculators, packaging templates, a list of commonly used potpourri botanicals, and marketing ideas.
