I love making great soap and other things with superior natural ingredients, but this can really run up prices. I hate the idea of passing on exorbitant materials costs to customers, so I try to go for the least expensive and most minimal packaging, and best shipping deals. It is easy to find inexpensive soap and lotions in the physical retail world, and you get what you pay for. I don't want to pay more for the colorful box a product comes in than for the product. I don't want to pay for 'fragrances' that could possibly contain up to fifty different human made and unproven chemicals and soap that could contain salts of animal fats, harsh sulfates and triethalwhatsits. My mission is to make high quality product varieties without bunches of scientifical mass produced chemiwhatsits that are affordable for the widest budget ranges. I'm always on the lookout for good deals on raw materials and when I get them, a soap variety might be for sale for less than it was previously. If I make a variety that has an ultra expensive scent, I hope to offset that cost by selling other varieties too while offering that ultra expensive variety for less than it can be found elsewhere. Look for similar Lily soap on Amazon, for example, and you will see a huge price difference-and most likely a huge difference in ingredients. If you crave the finest champagne but have a beer budget, I understand. I want to give the experience of luxury soap at moderate prices as much as I possibly can! I'm body care products spoiled and would gnash my teeth if I couldn't indulge daily. I can't imagine going without my Shea butter and jojoba oil concoctions and having to slather on some stinky unsatisfying lotion. I can't imagine washing my hair with that dubious stuff known as shampoo. When I say I test every soap variety, that goes for washing my hair with it too! I will confess though that nothing I have made is as satisfying for hair conditioning as some good old commercial store bought conditioner. When I discover the right stable blend of uncomplicated mostly natural ingredients for this-you bet I will share it too!
