Yeah she’s been selling as a hobby for like 25 years, she got started because typical commercial scents and dyes didn’t play nice with her skin. So she mostly uses natural pigments like clays and oxides and mica. It makes the more saturated colors hard to get (but the earthy stuff plays well in the Seattle market and her business is as big as she wants it to be, so not a lot of pressure to change beyond pure hobby fun).
Oh I love that! I’m currently working on some more natural soaps (essential oils, natural pigments) because my tagline is soap for everybody and every body and I mean that!
