bath and body product ingredients

If you have ever wondered what the ingredients are for my bath and body products, here you go. This is to help aid you in choosing products if you have allergies or sensitive skin. Keep in mind I often add additional additives such as oatmeal, fragrance, honey, goat's milk, powdered milk, colorant, aloe gel, additional oils, micas, glitters, etc. to these bases that may not be listed below. The list below is for the untouched bases I use.

As always, if you ever experience allergy or irritation of any kind with a product, stop using it. You might also test a product on a small area of the inner arm and wait 24 hours before use. Many times its the scent that may irritate sensitive skin, and I am more than glad to make unscented items.

And of course, do not ingest the products or allow young children to use them unsupervised. Many b&b products have bakery and fruity scents and shapes that might trick little ones into thinking they are treats.

Glycerin soaps are mostly what I make and they will melt RAPIDLY if left in an undrained soap dish. Glycerin soaps with any form of vanilla in their scent (such as buttercream frosting or brown sugar vanilla) may discolor gradually into a tan-brown shade but are perfectly safe to use.

Lip balms may lose flavor after 4-6 months but are generally safe to use for up to a year. Many of my lip balms are sweetened with an aspartame sweetener.

Use caution when exiting the tub after using b&b products as tub may be especially slippery. Do not get into eyes. If you do, flush well with water.

Okay, the ingredients list:
