| Natural Handmade Soap with Organic Ingredients
(85%)... the latest addition to our family of handmade soaps. These
all natural soaps are made with organic oils including: organic palm,
organic extra virgin olive oil, organic coconut oil and organic
sunflower oil. Some of the soaps may also include other organic oils
like organic shea butter or others. After our base oils, we add
natural essential oils (natural fragrances) to give the soaps a
wonderful natural aroma and natural herbs and clays for color.
Note: Though we use 85% certified
organic ingredients, if you are labeling these soaps yourself, you
cannot place the "USDA Certified Organic" logo on the label (though
they have certified the agriculture ingredients). The USDA has
determined that it must inspect not just the growers, but those who use
the organic products in their formulas (as if soap can be "organic"
anyway. It is humorous to note that the FDA has even modified it's
definition just to include soap in it's classification.) This may seem
ludicrous that the department of agriculture would have jurisdiction
over a soap maker, but "it is what it is". As is, you can claim that
the soap contains "85% organic ingredients" which is, in the end, is the
approximate amount that other "certified" cosmetic companies are required to
contain, to boast the seal.
