Can I melt your Second Soap in the microwave and put it in a soap mold? Not recommended. But in the interest of science you could grate the soap, add 50% water and heat gently while stirring. Cool and mold, then cure the water out for 3 weeks.
Hello, I am a soap maker in Ghana. I’m interested in the distillation machine you made while in Ghana. Can I use that type of machine to make distilled water for my shea butter soap? I’m trying to work out a problem with discoloration and dreaded orange spots. Thank you. Thank you for contacting us. The essential oil distillation machine could also be used to clean water. However, the dreaded orange spots are not usually caused by the water. I can better help you if you will answer a few questions: Are you using palm oil or palm kernel oil?…
Can women use spicewood extra strength deodorant or is it just for men? You don’t have to be male to use and enjoy safe and organic odor control. Spicewood is a cedar/clove blend that is reminiscent of Old Spice ™ hence the “guy friendly scent” angle. Clove, cinnamon and cedar wood oils are powerful plant concentrates that work with the other ingredients in the product to control bacteria. It is usually bacteria that cause strong perspiration aromas. Hope this helps. Thanks for keeping it natural!
Hi Larry, Thank you for providing this service. I am looking for the mildest soap I can find that does a great job cleaning body oils from plastic medical devices that come into contact with the human body. Another thing that would be helpful is any ability the soap would have clean the bacteria, sterilize, etc. Thank you very much for your assistance. Brad Ingram Hi Brad. I would use Unscented Liquid Sunshine which we also sell as Unscented Castile Liquid Soap. It is generally non-irritating, de-greasing, scentless, and works well on plastics. All the Best, Larry Plesent
Hello, I got a free sample chapstick from you at NOFA VT and I LOVE it, but I can’t find where to order it on your website? I was also wondering what the difference was between the horse shampoo and the pet shampoo? Do you make a conditioner? I usually use vinegar after I bathe my horse to help with skin problems. Would it be ok to use your shampoo and follow with vinegar and skip conditioner? Is it ok to use the horse shampoo on a dog or the pet shampoo on a horse? Thank you! -Kelsey Hi Kelsey.…
I’m leaving for Central America soon. I’m looking for a good, nontoxic sunscreen and insect repellant. You cookin anything? Yes indeed. Take the Camping Lotion and the Camping Spray. If you can only take one, it should be the lotion. I developed these products while working in malaria-infested zones in Liberia, West Africa. They both contain the same essential oil blend. The lotion lasts a solid 4 hours before renewal. The spray lasts about 40 minutes, but is good when you need something quick and is good to go over your clothing and on your hat. Be sure to use…

I would like to use your bar soap during pregnancy. I understand there is some question about the safety of using aromatherapy oils during pregnancy. Are the fragrances in the soaps diluted enough so I can use them during pregnancy? A you know essential oils are powerful plant concentrates that contain hundreds of molecules that the plant produces to fight fungus, viral, bacteria and cancer and as an attractant or repellent. There is ample evidence that ingesting large amounts of essential oils during pregnancy is a really, really bad idea. It stretches the imagination to consider that a highly diluted…
Is it safe to use Choco-Luscious Skin Smoothie as a lip balm? I am especially wondering about children using it, since they will lick their lips often! Thanks. Yes it is! Choco-Luscious Skin Smoothie has the same ingredients as natural lip balms. All ingredients are food grade and certified organic. The batch is pasteurized prior to filling. Best!
What is the difference between your Castile liquid soap and your Sunshine liquid soap? Liquid Sunshine is a kind of castile liquid soap. We formulated it especially for its grease cutting essential oil blend.
