Mountain Rose Herbs

Below you will find a list of items suggested in many of my ebooks and tutorials.

I've been purchasing from Mountain Rose Herbs for at least eight years now. They are an excellent resource for all ingredients need in preparing home remedies and natural skin care products.

For ease of measuring, I purchase the wafers (cocoa butter is very hard and difficult to get out of the jar when solid, but it is not impossible, just expect to use a little muscle.)
