On May 4, 2020 at 7:50 pm, "The Soap Meister" made his first sale !!!



100%  Olive Oil soap, scented with Lilac essential oil;  sold on my Ebay store.



Customer initially sent a message, asking if this soap contained any preservatives, 
due to her sensitive skin. 


After assuring her that this soap did NOT contain any preservatives (as I don't use any preservatives when making  my soaps) she immediately bought a bar.
