No it's not, People like their beauty products even if it's simple deoderant and soap. I think it's a question of education because not only is it healthier to make your own stuff but it's actually cheaper long term. You can make MANY different things using essential oils and the base oils, not just beauty products but also medicines as well. Once I perfect my skills with lotions and salves I'm going to move on to making soap. Though I might need a bit more equipment for that.
