Strawberry is not an essential oil

9/3/2014

I sometimes get asked for a Strawberry smelling soap or a coconut aromatic essential oil soap. I politely let people know the difference between essential oil, 100% natural, and a synthetic petroleum based fragrance. There is no Strawberry essential oil or coconut essential oil, just synthetic fragrance. Some "so called" essential oils that do not exist:
Strawberry
Cranberry
Blueberry
Raspberry
Pineapple
Coconut
Cucumber
Pomegranate
Watermelon
Cantaloupe
Honeydew (and any other type of melon)
Fig
Lychee
(some florals also fit into this category such as Lily of the Valley and Lilac).
There is no such thing as the above "essential oils" so do not be misled by products claiming to be all natural.An interesting article follows. http://www.byvalenti.com/blog/ingredients-abc/strawberry-essential-oil-and-its-shocking-greenwashing-truth/

    I started making soap as I have sensitive skin and so did many people around me. I wanted to make a product that was natural, gentle, affordable, sustainable and made locally.  I value health, fairness, truth and our environment.
