I would be the person who seeks out the fragrance-free, essential-oil-free soaps. Unfortunately, if they are cured in the same space with scented soaps, the fragrance-free soap will absorb the neighboring scents. Figured that out the hard way. Easiest to make my own so I can control it.I have one soap in my line that is colour free and fragrance free. People pick it up, smell it, and put it down. Then, they buy some of my strongest scented soap.
Haha As Carolyn knows, fragrance sells!Not me
We are a fragrance-free home originally out of medical necessity, and I think we will always be fragrance free. Lavender would be the death of me.Haha As Carolyn knows, fragrance sells!
I'm like you... I like fragrance free just about everything, as does my sister, and "other ladies of a certain age" I think. Zany's No Slime Castile is really nice all by itself with no fragrance; no color. You might want to have a look at it. ?
When I made soap and lotion for a wholesale customer, we always included a fragrance free option. It didn't sell as well as the other scents, but it did have a loyal following. Of the other fragrances, Lavender EO was the top seller.

Interesting! I had bought some oatmeal/goat's milk/honey soap from an artisan a long time ago. It was lovely and with no added scent. So the next time I ordered, I bought an entire loaf. When the package arrived, I could smell patchouli through the package. The soap was absolutely unusable. On investigation, she had made the entire recipe the same as before, but she had let them cure in the same space as a patchouli batch. I had to return the entire thing. It was then that I started making my own. With little ones though, I had to shelf the project for a while. Now that they are older, I can take up the project again.I make a plain no colour no scent soap, a no colour no scent oatmeal and honey, a no colour no scent castile. A range of essential oil only and natural colourants. And a range of FO with mica.
These soaps all go on the same curing racks and I can honestly say I have never had any of the unscented ones pick up scent from the others.
I've only had one, very awful, FO that would spread to other soaps but only if they were touching.
I have done exhaustive searches in the past, and I definitely never located anyone.I don't think that any one here sells Only soaps with no color/scent
Your cousin is lucky to have you as a resource. Fragrance-free helps to eliminate possible sources of reactions, which can be really important in the diagnosis and management of certain conditions. The simpler, the better, in my humble opinion.One of my cousins contacted me recently and asked if I would make fragrance free soaps for her. I think she has an allergy or sensitivity and her doctor told her to only buy fragrance free soaps. I'm not selling my soaps yet, but I like the option of fragrance free. I can see from previous posts that I won't need a large stock of unscented soaps!
You also need to keep in mind it could be the soap itself that is bothersome. Some folks simply cannot use lye based soap handmade soap.
As for ever making a business selling unfragranced soap I would wish anyone good luck with that one. It can take me up to 2 years + to sell a 14 bar batch of unscented no color added soap. I have never noticed a scent transfer during cure time, maybe if next to a soap like my DB it might transfer, but should still be only on the surface, so will wash off. Admittedly I never cure no scent next to my strong fragranced soaps.
