Faye Durham asked the following question,
"How is the Lavender Rosewood bar soap made?
Does it contain animal by-products?"
The Young Living bar soaps contain no animal products whatsoever--the base is vegetable oil (palm, coconut, and olive oils, which are classified as vegetable.)
The soap making process is the "cold-process". Oils are added to a kettle. They are at about 85 degrees. A water and lye solution is blended into the oils. The chemical reaction between the fat (oils) and the lye/water solution (alkali) results in soap! It's a very simple process and requires little heat. Essential oils and other ingredients such as wolfberry oil are added just before the soap (in its more liquid state) is poured into a large mold. The soap rests in the mold for 3 days where it completes the process (saponification). After the 3 days the mold is removed. You then have a large block of pure soap. It looks like a 250 pound block of granite. A series of wires cuts the block into bars.

"I own my own massage and bodywork business and hand washing is very important. I wash my hands before and after every client. The lavender/rosewood combination in the bar soap is so great for the skin, it inspired me to make my own massage oil using lavender and rosewood. It is my most asked for massage oil. I also added patchouli and ylang ylang to it. My clients even buy it for their homes. I feel it grounds me and nourishes my body, mind, and spirit. As a massage therapist my hands need to be very soft, even though I have to wash them 30 times a day at the least. The lavender/rosewood complements each other and helps to cleanse the energy in between clientele."

"I have already been using the Lavender Rosewood soap this month, for my shower soap.
I have gotten incredibly dry skin since I enter my 50's; nothing else seemed to really help!
Since I started using this Lavender Rosewood soap, it has made a tremendous difference for me!
Each time I use it I notice my skin is less and less dry!
Thank you for this blessing in my life!
And it smells sooo wonderfully, too!!"
