Let's face
it: we love the idea of Aromatherapy soap but can't always trust
that what we find in the stores is true aromatherapy, or even natural
or beneficial at all.
Reading the
ingredient label would certainly help - however, there often is
no ingredient label due to loose FDA guidelines - anything labeled
as "soap" is assumed to contain oils and lye, and is not required
to list all of its ingredients if it makes no specific health claims.
So what do
we do? We can trust that our local health food store will carry
some brand or another that lists its ingredients and is trustworthy,
and pay the hefty price tag - or the industrious among us may venture
to make our own soap. The result is well worth the effort...
