Why make fragrance free soap?
Fragrance free soap is important because some people have allergies to fragrances, meaning that cosmetics, perfumes, colognes, lip balm, fabric softener, literally everything used causes rash, headaches, nausea, etc.
In addition, you have people with very sensitive skin, commonly seen in the elderly and young. Because of this, if you like to make homemade soaps or even buy natural soaps at your local health food store, you have an option by making or choosing fragrance free soap.
Fragrance free soaps are voice of any natural or artificial scents, which would include any type of essential oils. Keep in mind that when shopping for ingredients, you will run across products that are listed as "natural" but that does not mean they are fragrance free. Instead, "natural" could mean that no harsh chemicals or additives have been added. Therefore, you want to purchase or use only ingredients listed as "unscented" or "fragrance free".
Remember that eliminating fragrance does not mean you sacrifice on quality or luxury. It just means that the ingredients have no fragrance. Obviously, you want natural, fragrance free soap to leave the skin silky smooth while producing a creamy lather. To accomplish this, we recommend you use olive oil for your base. However, other possibilities include using shea butter and natural glycerin with the cold process. The result is a wonderful soap that smells like fresh skin and natural oils.

It is important to use only vegetable oils and sustainable plant materials when making fragrance soap. In addition to the oils already mentioned, other great choices include avocado oil, palm kernel oil, and soy oil. You will also find oatmeal used, which helps the soap bind to the skin. In fact, oatmeal acts as a natural moisturizer but even better, to continue the moisturizing process, the ingredients of fiber and cellulose help. This means you end up with much smoother skin that last longer. Oatmeal also offers a soothing agent for minor skin irritations, without fragrance.
For the ultimate in fragrance free soap, we also recommend you use organic products. With this, you are getting 100% natural ingredients that also help support the environment. You can find organic ingredients at grocery stores, health food stores, drugstores, and of course, online. We also suggest that you experiment when making soap. Do not be afraid to make small batches, using a variety of ingredients. For instance, start by using the base of olive oil. People in the Mediterranean have been using soap with this ingredient for hundreds of years. Offering incredible moisturizing benefits, this soap is simple yet lavish.
