Established in 1999, Carrot Tree Soaps & Essentials sells a wide variety of cleansing soaps that are easy on both the skin and the environment. Carrot Tree Soaps & Essentials soaps contain all natural ingredients and essential oils, as well as a minimal amount of animal products. The company uses vegetable oils instead of animal fat as a base, and the soaps contain naturally occurring glycerin. Because Carrot Tree Soaps & Essentials products also contain goat’s milk, they may not be suitable for vegans, but the soaps are suitable for lacto-ovo vegetarians.
The Carrot Tree Soaps & Essentials website answers the question, “Why Goats Milk?” with the following response:
“Milk has been used for centuries as a skin cleanser. By adding goat’s milk to our soaps, we have lowered the soap’s pH to a level more compatible with your skin. Customers have repeatedly commented on how our soap has helped with their eczema, rashes or dry skin.” – http://Carrottree.net
Carrot Tree Soaps & Essentials do not contain synthetic ingredients, or artificial colors or fragrances. According to the official Carrot Tree Soaps & Essentials website, the company only uses essential oils and fine fragrance oils to scent its soaps, as well as cosmetic grade colorants, spices, herbs and juices to color them. By using ingredients such as olive oil, coconut and soy oil, CTSE soaps have excellent moisturizing properties. The company also uses carrot oil for its anti-aging properties. In addition to encouraging healthy skin, Carrot Tree Soaps & Essentials soaps are effective against dry skin and conditions such as mild eczema.
Carrot Tree Soaps & Essentials soaps are hand-cut in small batches. The product line includes unscented soaps such as Honey Oatmeal and “Carrot”, made with Shea butter, goat’s milk and fresh carrots, as well as scented soaps such as Lemony Kitchen and Garden soap, Lilac, Tea Tree, Rose Geranium, Jasmine, Rain Forest, Truly Patchouli and Shampoo Bar.
