Maybe I'm just confused (wouldn't be anything new), but in some places on this site they make a point of saying their soap is 100% natural and that they use no synthetic fragrance oils and in other places they mention using only 'skin-safe' fragrance oils.
I clicked on a few of the soaps to see the ingredients and they don't seem to be consistent in listing either EO or FO in the ingredient list, yet the descriptions talk about the wonderful fragrances.
Sounds like at least some FO's were used in this one:

And this one just says "Pear berry scented" in the list of ingredients...a little ambiguous to state it nicely:

Am I missing something?
When I see a company saying that they are using all essential oils when they are clearly using fragrance oils it makes me wonder what else they are lying about! So I won't buy from them because I don't trust them. There are a lot of vendors on Etsy who do this and I would like to tell them all off :wink: but I know the only solution is buyer education.....
