I have been asked to make an almond soap bar, and at first I hesitated... natural bitter almond, historically and chemically has been found to not be a safe oil. However, there are a few reputable essential oil suppliers that remove the toxic portion of the bitter almond oil, and render it safe and approved by the DEA. I have 100% confidence in my essential oil supplier - he provides superior quality oils, and though a higher price than most whole sale suppliers, the quality is far superior than others I have sampled. For my family, and my customers I am committed to providing superior quality -- and this includes using high quality essential oils, despite their cost to me.
That being said, I am very excited to introduce "Almond Agave" Soap to my line of products. To this fabulous bar, I have added Bitter Almond essential oil, Agave Nectar, Sweet Almond Oil as the super-fatting agent, and unsweetened cocoa powder to give it that gorgeous dark brown swirl. Agave Nectar is the vegan's answer to bee honey, and gives this bar a super-smooth texture, heavenly lather, and gorgeous tan hue. The addition of Sweet Almond oil to super-fat (in addition to the naturally retained glycerin) promises to keep your skin from getting that tight, dry feeling like you might feel with a commercial bar. Weighing in at a massive 9 oz, this bar will last you a super-long time! Some of my customers even cut my bars into thirds, so as to distribute them to each bathing area in their homes!
