Lots of people do. Just look at some of the listings on Etsy.

"Natural" is such a vague term that some makers use it to mean just about whatever they want it to.

Okay . Because I've created so many soap using essential oils. I want to expand into soaps that are more seasonal but its hard to do pumpkin or something like that

I'm not saying that's necessarily a good thing. I'm saying that the term "natural" is kind of meaningless. I prefer "handmade," myself.

I wouldn't. As @artemis says there is no legal definition for natural when it comes to ingredients for soap. I agree that Handmade is more appropriate, once you start adding fragrances and man-made colorants.
