Essential Oils

For all the green reasons The Soap Barn will no longer be supplying oils that are unsustainable: The push by consumers for natural fragrances has a dark side: natural doesn’t always mean sustainable. Sandalwood oil is one example. Essential-oil producers steam-distill the fragrance ingredient from shredded sandalwood trees. The trees become richer in oil as they grow older and are harvested when they are between 15 and 30 years old. The Soap Barn will no longer be part of this destruction of trees
