Aunt Ann's Garden Soap - Vegan Organic Botanical Soap

Why Is All That FDA Stuff
Important?

When a company adds an ingredient to
capture your shopping dollars it does
not have to be in an amount that will
do you any good. We all know lavender
is a calming botanical but if there is
one drop in the whole bar is there
enough to experience the benefit? If
you knew it was one drop would still
pay premium prices for it? If the
lavender on the ingredients list had 10
other items listed after it, would you
suspect that there was one drop in the
entire bar? Aunt Ann believes you
should get the botanicals that you have
paid for. You won't have to be a
chemist to see what's in her recipes.

Aunt Ann's Garden Soap is fully handcrafted. We hand pour each bar and although the weight is about the same there will be bumps and lines
unique to each bar. These are low lather soaps intended for direct bar to skin contact. Once you experience the silky lather pampering and nourishing your
skin, bubbles will be a distant memory. You can expect minor color variations because we do not adjust the natural color of the botanicals. These value added
luxury soaps are by no means the prettiest girls in town. But, you won't find a finer, more exquisite, grade of botanicals in therapeutic quantities anywhere
else.

All "soap" is made by combining lye with fat. The fat can be animal fat such as tallow
or vegetable fat such as palm oil. This basic combination is the base of all "soap". Most of
what is sold commercially by large companies is not "soap" even though we call it that.
Most of what they sell is "cleanser", chemically similar if not identical to dish washing
liquid. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate the labeling of
"soap". If chemicals are added to the "soap" as stabilizers, preservatives, fragrance, lather
boosters or surfactants, they do not have to appear on the ingredients label.

The FDA begins to regulate what is on a "soap" label when something is added to it that
materially changes what it does. For example, if a company adds something to the soap to
change your skin like moisturizer or astringent, at that point, the FDA requires every
ingredient in the soap to be listed on the package.

What most of us think we know about the ingredients listing is that the order of
ingredients is from the largest quantity to the smallest. That is true, until you get to things
that are 1% or less of the total volume of the product. At 1% or less the order is
determined by the manufacturer and there is no way for the consumer to know
when you reach that point in the list. If you don't see it on our ingredients list, it
isn't in our soap. What is in our soap is superior. What isn't in our soap is even
better.
