Thanks so much Lezlee. I did make an intial purchase from the buying group over

the weekend because the last shipment of shampoo I got is so thin, water would

be thicker! Got some Crothyx to thicken it up and some Panthenol. I did like

there pricing- just gotte see how long it takes to get the items.

Containers: If you go to www.essentialwholesale.com

<http://www.essentialwholesale.com/> and then go to their product menu.

the last item is packaging. Click on it and a whole bunch of packaging

supplier links will come up.

Labels: www.unionbaylabel.com <http://www.unionbaylabel.com/>

Oils: www.todieforsoap.com <http://www.todieforsoap.com/> (you have to

e-mail Judy to get the bulk list/prices), www.essentialwholesale

<http://www.essentialwholesale/> , www.handmadebeauty.com

<http://www.handmadebeauty.com/> (click on member directory to find

suppliers) You definitely want to pick the oil supplier closest to you

as shipping costs for bulk oils will kill you.

Preservatives: www.todieforsoap <http://www.todieforsoap/> has some,

I'm not sure who else would have them.

EO's: I get mine from Creative Fragrance in Dallas, there's Lebermuth,

Rainbow Meadows, and many more. www.handmadebeauty.com

<http://www.handmadebeauty.com/> will have some suppliers listed, you

can also go to www.happi.com <http://www.happi.com/> and search through

their supplier list

www.google.com <http://www.google.com/> is a great search engine as

well. Also try www.gardenofwisdom.com <http://www.gardenofwisdom.com/>
