A Note on Nut Allergies Nut allergies are a serious concern. I make soaps for people in my family who cannot have nuts, so I’ve developed and included in this book some recipes with no-nut oils or nut butters. If you have a tree-nut allergy, watch out for coconut oil, sweet almond oil, hazelnut oil, and macadamia nut oil. Replacing coconut oil in soaps can be difficult, but ethically sourced palm oil or babassu oil makes a good substitute. Check the recipe labels to quickly identify nut-free recipes.
