This article is probably not about what you are thinking! I thought I would give you a little peek into our life, so that you could understand where I come from. This of course took place many years ago, before we knew about such things.
Many years ago, we started having allergy problems. One of the problems was perplexing at first, however, once I thought about it, it all made sense. We used to go out for ice cream occasionally as a treat. We found that everyone was suffering from this family event. Some would get all congested, some would have runny noses, some would get bloody noses, etc. So, we changed our little outings to those colorful frozen drinks, you know the kind, grape, cherry, frozen coke, orange….. I soon realized that there was a problem, by the next day, my easiest going child started acting like a totally different child, kind of like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. It was very strange and like I said took me a few times to make the correlation. It turns out he was allergic to red #40 and all colorings for that matter. Thus, we cut out all colorings and life is grand!
I only reveal this to hopefully help others and to show why I am so against colorings, whether it be in food or soap!

If you are thinking about going more natural and searching for the right alternative to store bought chemical soap, that are not really soaps, by the way, here are some things to keep in mind.
* Make sure you know what every ingredient is that is in the soap
* Look at the products used for coloring the soap, are they really safe? Sometimes it takes years and years for someone to figure out that this or that is harmful. It makes the soap look nice, but what are the long term affects on your body?
* Fragrance oils are synthetic, man made, made of who knows what….Essential oils come from the plants provided to us.
* Some people list soaps and don’t fully disclose all of the ingredients, beware.
* Your skin is your bodies largest organ, it absorbs all that is put on it.
Do you ever wonder why there is so much skin cancer and so many skin conditions? What are you putting on yourr skin? Most people don’t even think about it. They blindly believe all of the commercials and continue to poison their body with who knows what kind of chemicals, then wonder why they never feel good. How does your body get rid of all of these toxins? What happens when it is overloaded with toxins? These are things to think about.
