I know I’ve said it a thousand times and have heard it even more than that. I want all natural ingredients in my home care products. Then I got to thinking. Most of those ingredients are “all natural”. Think about it. Petroleum is all natural. It occurs in nature when a living organism dies and decomposes, mostly ancient plants and animals. Then there’s placenta -- the organ which houses the fetal tissue of the unborn, human or animal. There’s animal bi-products, the parts you don’t eat; which with some animals isn’t very much that’s not eaten. Urea, is bi-product of natural excretion. It’s what’s produced by mammilian systems when proteins are broken down and excreted in the urine of mammals. The plant based urea is actually a combination of chemicals and ammonia. Also known as keratolytic, it’s supposed to be very good for the skin. Some of this stuff, actually most of it, is why I use soap in the first place. So, in light of all this, what I should be saying is I want non-waste product soap, as opposed to all natural soap. And SoapsByDesign (I) produces “all natural”, non waste-product soap.
