​

Tree nut allergies are one of the most common and fast-growing types of food allergies in North America today. When someone with a tree nut allergy ingests their allergen, even a trace amount, that person is at risk of a severe allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis. An anaphylactic reaction includes more than one of the body’s systems, such as the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, the skin and cardiovascular symptom. Our products may contain known allergens that include but may not be limited to tree nuts.

​

In the United States, for food labeling purposes, the FDA considers the following to be tree nuts: Almond, Beech nuts, Brazil nuts, Butternuts, Cashews, Chestnuts, Chinquapins, Coconuts, Filberts/hazelnuts, Ginko nuts, Hickory nuts, Lichee nuts, Macadamia nuts/Bush nuts, Pecans, Pine nuts/Pinon nuts, Pistachios, Shea nuts, and Walnuts.

​

Almond allergens can be contained in almond oil. Topical application of some oils can sensitize. Although we could not find scientific research indicating any case of anaphylaxis to almond oil via the topical route, we would prefer our customers with known tree nut allergies be safe rather than sorry and avoid products that contain Sweet Almond Oil.

 

We have found lay articles that indicate people with latex allergies (especially TYPE B latex allergy) may have a reaction to shea butter because it contains natural latex.  So, if you are sensitive to latex, then it is possible to react to shea butter over time.

​

All handmade soaps and skincare items may contain essential oils or fragrances, milks, flower or herbal botanicals, sugars, clays, preservatives (when needed), emulsifying wax, beeswax, vegetable oils, seed oils, nut oils (almond, walnut, hazelnut, coconut and other), shea and mango butters, lanolin, olive oil, canola oil, castor oil, lard, tallow and other ingredients.
