Update - Today she came up and started asking me questions about salt bars. I was busy at the time so I didn't talk to her. I still don't know why she feels the need to come into my booth, I never go near hers.
If she is till selling jams and jellies as well as soap out of the same booth. I wouldn't worry about it too much. If I want to buy soaps from someone and I see 2 vendors, one who JUST sells body products and one who sells a small portion of body products as well as other things. I'm going to check out the first vendor first because I feel they'd spend more effort on those products. I do have to say it is in bad taste to start selling the same items when she knows you'll be setting up right next to each other.
IMO, no. Hiding basic information is a tactic that tends to discourage customers as much or more than it discourages copycats -- most customers won't ask, unless they are super motivated.
Hodders:
You can take advantage of the situation, start making business with her, ask your price for the soaps, and sell it to her but with a very good price, a fair price!!
Or, ignore her and close your eyes to the opportunity of making business with your soaps.
Just think about it!
Keep innovating - while you are offering new things to the market, she's playing catchup
