High quality product. Safely packaged and delivered on time. Would highly recommend Essentially Natural.
Great product, excellent service and love that there are recipes on the website. Had a very successful experience making soap with my learners at school
Came so promptly and packed with such care. Of course I made soap almost immediately and although it hasn’t even had time to cure properly yet I think it turned out great!
Great product-I use for soap making
