At the end of the book, there is a recommended reading list and a list of resources. The author does a thorough job introducing readers into natural skin care. Most of the ingredients are readily available. As someone that makes her own skin care products, I found this book to be helpful. This is an excellent resource for anyone interested in controlling what goes on their skin.
