Lavender looks like mouse poo?

[KiwiMoose]

I came across this woman's website this morning - and here is the evidence:

You decide!
I reckon it looks ok myself - but only because I know it's lavender I guess.

Gosh that would be scratchy too!
I think it’s the sudden shock you get when you look at the tops of lavender soap with bits in it - exactly like mouse poo.

Cleaning the shower after using these soaps or even soaps with soap curls on top is a nightmare.

In addition to turning brown, the lavender buds end up the same texture ...

I wouldn't be able to wash with a soap like that (even if I made it myself )

(PS. Her orange speckled oatmeal soap is pretty)

And these soaps are lovely - she is opposite my sister's mosaic stall at the market. But she wouldn't be able to make these claims in the USA right?https://www.wouldntknowem.co.nz/product-page/jasmine

Heavens to Betsy...no way. It would come under the regulation of the FDA because it's making medicinal claims.

Not supposed to do it here either, but people are a bit more 'ethereal' here and open to alternative medicine, so it's not the type of thing she would be reported for.

Would be hung drawn and quarters for claiming stuff like anti spasmodic and anti inflammatory the eu has a tight grip on cosmetics sales here its annoying that it costs to get recipes checked but at the same time it stops every tom dick and harry from making and selling and making claims like that would almostly certainly land you in court

Not in Australia either.

Heavens to Betsy! How about guarantee world peace and end hunger?

 

[SaltedFig]

That's the other soap @Clarice

*edited to make this post PLAM free

 

[Clarice]

Ah yes. The Mother Teresa soap!

 

[KiwiMoose]

That's the other soap @Clarice ...

... but at least this one is PLAM (sic) oil free

*edited to add the (sic) ... it really does say PLAM

Lots of bad spelling and punctuation on that website.

I love it when folks cross my plam with Mooney

 

[penelopejane]

The original “panna” website kiwimoose mentioned doesn’t show the soap well enough for my liking. It shows the label and a bit of the soap on each side. I would be interested in the soap not the label.

Lots of websites do it though.

Well, I just had a bath with lavender bath salts, with dried lavender buds (don't judge me [emoji39] ) and at times it looked like I was bathing in a mouse sewer. Also had to put a sieve in the plug hole at the end. Novel, having the buds in a product, but not very practical

Oh, you are all so funny! One of the first soaps I made I put lavender buds on the top (I'm sensitive to lavender, but the dried buds don't seem to affect me in any way). I ended up HATING it! It's the scratchiest, nastiest thing that I've ever tried to use! Ended up tossing it to the mice!

So- recycling then?

Oh yes, it's in my pile to be shredded and rebatched - if I can figure out how to get the danged lavender out! lol
