I feel a sense of satisfaction when I can assist a customer one-on-one with their product needs and wants.
Recently, a customer sent a random email asking if I could make a soap for her complexion. She named off the essential oils and clay that she felt would be good in the soap. I tested her suggested essential oil blend on a strip later that day. It worked perfectly.
I sent a response to the customer, telling her that I agreed with her facial soap suggestion, and that the combination of the essential oils was a “go.”
The customer responded to the email, “Oh my gosh, you are actually going to do this? I didn’t really think you would!” Of course I would, and I do, and I will.
I delight in operating a small enough business to make lotions and whipped shea butter fresh to order. Those particular products are not limited to the fragrances listed in the online store. If a customer asks me for a particular fragrance in her products, and if I have it on hand, I will scent their products as they wish.
One small reminder, safety first. If only 4 drops of an essential oil can safely be added to 1 ounce of product, that is what is added. If a fragrance is listed at a safety level of 10% by the supplier/manufacturer, that is the maximum I add to a product.
I appreciate questions and comments. Shoot them at me!

Do you carry neroli essential oil? I love that scent and would love to find a that in a soap.
I love all the soaps I’ve ordered from you and just used the ocean breeze scent on my 2 year old today. She smells so fresh and beautiful now. 🙂
Hi Kristy! I do carry neroli but the essential oil that I have (for natural perfume) would be way too expensive for soap. I did recently make a chammomile/neroli soap, made from a natural essential oil blend. It has a nice clean smell to it. It is on the curing rack, should be ready for resale in a few weeks.
Isn’t ocean breeze nice? I have a batch on the side that doesn’t look so hot that I use for myself. I probably could sell it for 2.00 a bar, honestly, because it does smell great! And I find it to be a perfectly mild soap.
I bet your 2 year old did smell great!
Have a wonderful day!
Kristy, my brain is a bit more engaged now on this Monday morning. I will look into larger quantities of neroli, I like your idea of a soap recipe fragranced with it!
