Before you ask this question lets see whatās the main deference between fragrance oils(aka:Ā nature identical oilĀ Ā , conventional essential oils, and raw essential oils.Ā The term āfragranceā on a product label represents an undisclosed mixture of various chemicals and ingredients, added to provide a pleasant scent, or (more often) to mask a bad one.
Itās one of the only ingredients that doesnāt have to be fully disclosed on the label, meaning thereās a āfragrance loopholeā in the mainstream products that allows companies to simply use the generic term āfragranceā rather than being transparent and telling the consumer whatās really in the product. In a capsule format there are a lot of hidden sub ingredients if your product has a word called āFragranceā listed on it.
Fragrant oil is synthetic oil that is man-made to imitate the natural scents of nature. Many fragrant oils can reproduce all natural scents while many essential oil or plant-derived scents are not possible to make or are too costly. Fragrant Oil Soaps are our most economically priced soaps and our customers love the variety of scents we offer.
While thereās an argument that not disclosing their āfragrance mixtureā protects company trade secrets, this is often at the detriment of the consumerās health, as the consumer canāt rely on labels to know what hazards may lurk inside the product.
Now does this mean that the essential oils are also pure?
The truth is even essential oils are heavily contaminated due to the process of dilution for increasing the total yield production. Various extremely harmful chemicals such ass DOP also known as Dioctyl Phthalate along with various other artificially created compounds are lurking in various essential oils.
A true raw undiluted essential oils is made from the natural extract of the plant and therefore 100% natural. They are also more expensive and contain healing and aromatherapy benefits. All of our Soaps contain generous amounts raw undiluted essential oil mix which is why the ancient soaps from ancient ayurveda smells so distinct, at ancient ayurveda manufacturing a true herbal soap is not just a work, we consider it as an art to create that unique and extremely potent herbaceous aroma by mixing various herbal extracts to the right proportion. We do not add any forms of synthetic or nature identical fragrance oils in our unique manufacturing process.

However, the popular belief is thatĀ there can be no soap without lye, Contrary to traditional beliefs, Anyone who’s done much camping knows that ā if you throw some white ashes from a hardwood fire into your frying pan after dinner ā the lye in the ash will combine with the fat from the cooking to make a crude soap.
During the olden days soaps were made by good old potash attained by burning woodashes. Nowadays you will find that all commercially available handmade soaps follow primarily either cold process or hot process made just by combining 3 or more oils with sodium hydroxide ,aqua, combined with synthetic perfumes or fragrance oils and colorants.
In a properly formulated batch of ancientsoaps, there is absolutely no lye left , Our unique formulations utilize high ratio of leached woodash and saltworth ash to form the base alkalie salt emulsion ,Once the saponification process takes place all kinds of soda has all been consumed in the soap making process and converted to vegetable glycerin and crude soap by converting the long chain fatty acids of the rare botanicals oil blends we use in to soap.
