One of the best things about being an artisan soapmaker is the ability to customize. Because I have complete control over what goes into our products, it’s easy to tailor formulas for specific needs. Some people have sensitivities or allergies that make it difficult, if not impossible, to find soaps or bath products appropriate for their use. Can you imagine shopping for personal care products if you have a sensitivity to coconut, for example? Nearly every cleansing product contains coconut oil in some form. We love coconut oil, but we can make products without it. It’s very gratifying to be able to help people by developing a product that they like and can use.
It's not news to those with a sensitivity to fragrances that an unscented product is not necessarily fragrance free. If a product is labeled as "unscented" it simply means that there is no detectable scent. Usually, fragrances are added to those types of products to mask the actual scent of the ingredients used to make it. How frustrating for a fragrance-sensitive person to break out in a rash from an "unscented" product! All of our products are available absolutely 100% fragrance free.
I have to admit, though, I really enjoy customizing fragrances for customers! Woodhaven Soaps can find fragrance oils that smell like just about any popular or high-end (read "expensive") trademarked fragrance available today. A fragrance that is reminiscent of a trademarked fragrance is called a "type." As an example, our Moonlight fragrance smells similar to Moonlight Path® by Bath and Body Works, LLC, so we refer to it as a Moonlight Path® "type." Note that Moonlight Path® is a registered trademark of Bath and Body Works, LLC. Woodhaven Soaps is not affiliated with Bath and Body Works, LLC. We do not claim that our fragrance IS their Moonlight Path®, rather that our Moonlight is the same type of fragrance. We can even sometimes find fragrance types for those that have been discontinued. How neat is that?!
Currently, Woodhaven Soaps has 16 fragrance types in our web store, and many more in stock. Take a look at our products at http://www.woodhavensoaps.com/. If your favorite isn't represented there, just drop us a note at customerservice@woodhavensoaps.com, or phone us at (402) 690-6156, and let us know what you'd like. We'll tell you if we have it in stock or can get it for you, and we guarantee a much better price than the name-brand version!
Until next time, I'm off to a glass of wine, a good book, and a Moonlight bath!
