RE: Glass vs. Plastic

[Guest guest]

We only rarely have breakages. We double wrap the glass jars in 1/2 bubble

wrap. Plastic has it's own set of problems with leakage in the summer and

possible toxins. We feel we actually have better results using glass. (We

always replace product when it breaks.)

Annette,

I also prefer glass - but do you ever have any breakage?

Re: Re: RBD oil

On a fairly regular basis I talk with people who have been using an

RBD

oil,

such as Spectrum or Omega, and have switched over to Virgin coconut

oil.

Hi Annete, I'd like to say thank you for your insiteful writings you

have

shared in your recent letters here.

I sense a lot of integrity in them.

One small point though..., I happen to like the omega nutrition

coconut

oil. : -)

Is it fair to call it RBD?

All plant oils sold could be called refined by virture of being

removed

from their natural substrates.

My understanding is that the omega oil is expeller extracted from

dried

coconut and steam deodorized.

When I think RBD I think chemicals and solvents. :-(

Omega's oil is certified organic, no bleaching, no chemical solvents

here.

Organic coconuts too.

Peace, Bruce

Maybe if you voice your concern over the possibility of the glass breaking

from a fall and then they would have to reorder because of the breakage, but

if the scrubs are packaged in a very classy, beautiful PET jar that the

possibility of breakage from a fall is almost non existent and they would

get full value of your wonderful product.

This is just my opinion of course, I am sure that you could find some very

nice double walled jars around with a very nice colored lid, maybe add an

organza ribbon tied in a big bow would make it look " classy " enough.

Maybe send in a jar or two packaged in the PET with your husband for them to

see ?

Glass vs. Plastic

I know we've had this discussion before. But I'm stuck. My salt

scrubs have suddenly become very very popular with all the women in

my DH's buildings. I can't make them fast enough. I've been having

to get jars from The Container Store just to fill these first

orders. I hated paying the price, which considering shipping and

all, it propably wasn't too bad. Plus they were glass. I had

always planned to use a heavy walled PET jar, and had been using a

smaller thinner welled one up until now, but ran out. The DH made

the comment about ordering plastic jars and the women went nuts

insisting that all the " high dollar " ones use glass and that glass

is more " classy " than cheapo plastic. That the glass would have a

better draw. {sigh}

Hi Dawn,

This is what I do with the expensive bottles and jars.

I tell my clients that if they return their empty jars and bottles I will

refill them at a lower cost. It works a treat and I find it much cheaper for

me doing it this way then buying jars and bottles all the time. Hugs, .
