Our skin is our largest organ and absorbs like a sponge what is placed on the outer layer, drawing it deeper into the inner layers and dispersing it into the bloodstream. Many of the bath and beauty products we use contain toxic chemical substances, and as consumers have become more aware of this, many are seeking safe, natural alternatives for their skincare and beauty routines. Sojourner Williams is an Ayurvedic practitioner, yoga instructor, and wellness blogger, and in her travels has sought out natural, effective beauty solutions from around the world.

Natural Beauty From the Outside In is divided into chapters based on main recipe ingredient and location, such as Coconut Oil/Thailand, with the author sharing her experiences and knowledge, and then including recipes. (Don't worry. You won't have to travel to find ingredients. They are all found easily on the Web or from sources provided.) While the recipes are a major portion of the book, Sojourner seeks to inform her readers throughout about their health and ways to bring positive influences through what you absorb through your skin. The book includes a chapter on basic ingredients and best practices, as well as the 70 recipes, plus chapters on storing products, preservatives, and sensitive skin considerations.
