[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 636145, member: 1963"] Tree nut and peanut allergies are two different things. One can be allergic to one without the other. Peanuts are not actually nuts. They are legumes (beans). If you use tree nut oils in your soap, you MUST label them just as you do with peanut oil. Tree nut allergies can be just as life-threatening as peanut allergies. ALL vegetable oils are made from seeds. You can use grapeseed oil with less risk of allergic reactions. There are other non-nut oils you can use for super-fatting soaps. I use a soap super-fatted with shea butter in the winter. If you use the shea butter, be sure to get the processed stuff. The 'raw' stuff has a very strong odor that many find to be unpleasant.
