Dear Flying Spaghetti Monster, Beth, fucking BRAVO.

:clap: :clap:

This post - http://www.bpal.org/index.php?s=&showt...t&p=1378402 should clear up a lot of questions. That post links to several responses, including one from Beth herself, that states the reason why they don't state their oils are 100% natural anymore is because of the synthetic line she produced for a raffle a few years ago.

That said, the quoted bits you posted remind me a lot of conversations I've seen elsewhere. Haute, couture and niche companies getting their panties in a twist when they are compared to something they consider so 'beneath' them. It absolutely sticks in their craw that someone out there has a product that people prefer to theirs, that doesn't have to rely on a decades-old reputation and that manages to be affordable to the unwashed masses, so they trash it however they can.

If you can get away with spraying alcohol on your skin, hey, that's cool! I can't. I wish I could! Every perfume I've ever tried has 'turned' on me, even the small decants from the Perfumed Court that I've tried (Guerlain, Givenchy, Chanel, Bond No. 9).

Wait...I'm not sure what your question is. You post all these incredibly disparaging reviews of BPAL and then you close by asking how 'natural' the oil is?

So is your point to bash BPAL or to find out how 'natural' the oils are? Because if it's the latter, there was a much more polite and less-offensive way to do it.
