A series of organic compounds consisting of various methylated phenols. alpha-Tocopherol is the main source found in supplements and in the European diet, where the main dietary sources are olive and sunflower oils, while gamma-tocopherol is the most common form in the American diet due to a higher intake of soybean and corn oil.

Hello, I have tried your soap and I love it. My favorite so far is the Specialty Avocado Spearmint. I was really having a bad day and when I went to the shower with a fresh bar, it was like aromatherapy. I totally relaxed and allowed the alchemist's creation to sooth me. I especially enjoy the texture of the soap; great lather, soft feel (it doesn't break apart like commercial soap), long lasting (thanks for the wooden soap cradle.) I have also cracked open a bar of the citrus soap; very nice overall, but the Speciality Avocado Spearmint is still my favorite at the moment. Thanks, know that your endeavors are appreciated.

I just got my first batch of Soap Alchemy Soaps. The Specialty Neem and Tea Tree Oil soap is wonderful. Ladies, even if you never use the speciality soap to shave, try using it to shave your legs, you will love it! Judy S. Houston TX 2010-03-10
