I am a Retired Medical Social Worker and Adjunct Professor that has a Master's Degree in Social Gerontology. I have extensive education in the study of aging, herbs and aromatherapy. I am a Certified Professional Aromatherapist and Herbalist. I have been making soap for over 30 years. My soap making evolved due to many skin allergies and the inability to wear make-up. I wanted to care for my skin and not buy expensive store brands that contain anything but natural ingredients. I infuse many herbs that I grow on my prairie fields into my soaps.
