As a customer of Kathy's since she first created the soaps and lotions - I met her as a fellow vendor at one of the markets - and I am an expert in herbal essential oils, and a former goat owner, I am always impressed by Kathy's devotion to the creation of safe products for her customers. She always puts an incredible amount of effort into researching her recipes and the various essential and other oils and ingredients. I have seen other products which would compete with hers but her choice of ingredients is superior.
