Can anyone here give me a good idea of pricing (per pound or gallon) on the

following items and who you get them through? Just so that I have a general

idea

of whether I am getting half way reasonable pricing or just need to keep looking

for suppliers...

All of these items, but one, I have to order online or through an out of state

distributor, and I know that there are ALOT of companies out there, and it is

hard to check them all.

Sweet Almond Oil

Jojoba Oil

Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda, Lye)

Coconut Oil

Lavender Buds Dried

Lavender Essential Oil

Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Thanks!

Ann,

I do alot of purchasing from the following.

http://addy.com/brinkley/index.htm EO's mostly. links some FO's to

www.sweetcakes.com when you click on them.

www.glorybee.com coconut, palm some EO's

www.cambengrey.com carrier oils, shea butter

http://craftexpress.com/ botanicals, kelp etc. I just looked this addy up

and looks like their prices have gone up about 25%. May be able to find

cheaper supplier then this. There prices were way below others so even with

the price hike they may still be.

www.soapmaking.homestead.com this is a price comparison site that I think

is probably not yet up to date. But will give you some great sources.

Enjoy. Shery D

and www.wholesuppliesplus.com <http://www.wholesuppliesplus.com> for almost

everything I order. They both have great items and good prices!

That is a great supplier. While some of the items I can get cheaper through

my other sources, there are a lot of that are better prices than I get

currently. Thank you for the suggestion!

Hi Autumn,

I buy different supplies from different places to get the best prices. No

one co. has everything I need. Plus I'm always looking for a better deal for

quality products unless I find one that I just can't live without. The

closer to your neck of the woods the better for shipping costs, but that is

sometimes impossible and one must bite the bullet in this craft since it's

hard for me to find most things locally for better prices than online. I

live an hr away from the nearest big city and even then can't find what I

need most often.

My suggestion is go to your favorite search and just type in what you're

looking for and filter through all the hits till you find one you like. I'll

share some of my links if you're interested, but then again, your search may

find a better deal.

Let us know what you're looking for and maybe someone here can help.

HTH

I agree...I have a folder entitled 'regular suppliers' and one called

'sometime suppliers'(with what I usually get from them) and a 3rd one

entitled 'New Suppliers to Try'. I am constantly researching and moving

links around and deleting others. It's a never ending process and every

soaper/craftperson has her or his favorites for different products.

If you ask about specific products, like Pam said, you will probably get

more suggestions than you can process. After awhile, you begin to notice

which sites are best for you. And they will sometimes surprise you.

I'm in search of ground pumice and the best price I've found is at a site

that, while wonderful, is usually more expensive than most others. So, you

have to check everytime you want something new and periodically later to

compare for deals and sales.

It's time consuming but I truly believe that your profit is made on the

front end as well as what you get after the product is made.
