The Impact of Essential Oils - Lab Coat Moment #7

These Lab Coat Moments from my book SOAP & SOUL are for those who ask, “Why?” and for those who say, “Show me.”
I wrote the Lab Coat Moments into my book so that you wouldn’t merely have to take my word for things, but so that you could discover these concepts for yourself. These videos will guide you through them. But don’t stop at watching them. Try them for yourself!
If you haven't read my book, you can still follow along in the fun!
So button up your lab coat, it’s about to get sciencey!
Objective: To observe the impact a minor ingredient can have on a product.
You’ll need:
- Clear glasses or jars
- Castile Liquid Soap - 2 or more scents, ½ c. of each
Find this in SOAP & SOUL on page 203 in The Backyard chapter.

Hi Jessica- I'm so you're enjoying my book! Thanks so much for your kind words!

Hi Lisa so good to meet you. I my hair using Dr. Bronner. Can I use the same shampoo to do my laundry 🧺 with.

[@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner]

Hi Connie- Yes, you can! Castile Soap is such a simple soap that it's equally effective for hair-hands-body and house cleaning! Check out this Usage Cheat Sheet on my website for laundry and many other uses! www.lisabronner.com/dilutions-cheat-sheet-for-dr-bronners-castile-soap/

The Smell of Rose Dr. BRONNERS doesn't smelled like Rose and is bad you may have to change the formulation of that scent..

[@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner]

Hi there- All our soaps are scented with pure essential oils. Pure rose oil is about $5000 per pound making it cost prohibitive to use exclusively. The scent used for our Rose Castile Soaps is made up of a blend of pure essential oils, like geranium, Rosa damascena (rose) extract, rosemary, grapefruit, and orange, and others. As with all our scents, we do not use synthetic fragrances which can be problematic.

Why do we need to know their freezing point?

[@GoingGreenwithLisaBronner]

Hi there - It's not a crucial thing to know. My point here was just to show how a minor ingredient can impact an overall product, and showing the change in freezing point was one way to do that. I'm a bit of a soap nerd and like showing all there is to know about it!

Hey Lisa I recently started using your 4 in 1 peppermint soap do I have to dilute it like the 18 in 1

Hi there- The Organic Sugar Soap is formulated to be used undiluted. Hope you like it!

@@GoingGreenwithLisaBronnerI love the Organic Sugar Soap and the Citrus Rinse. I have tight coily hair and your products have saved my scalp. I love the way the Organic Sugar Soap rinses away leaving my hair and scalp clean without residue. Thank you for producing excellent products. 🙏🏾♥️
