[Guest guest]

How about _www.thepersonalformulator.com_

(http://www.thepersonalformulator.com) they have a sister company called BPI

LABS.........that I am fairly

certain works in that small of quantities...

I have never used them

but have them on my list if and when I may need one.......

I do not know about the animal issue, but they seem to have and carry the

" natural-type " ambiance

please let me know your outcome - if you don't mind........

The Personal Formulator is a RIP-OFF! Anyone using them would have to be, sorry,

insane! Here is just a snip about their " Conditions of Use " (talk about

SLEAZY!):

" If you do post content or submit material, and unless we indicate otherwise,

you grant The Personal Formulator and its affiliates a nonexclusive,

royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use,

reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from,

distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media. You

grant The Personal Formulator and its affiliates and sublicensees the right to

use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if they choose. "

Etc., etc., etc.,

You should ALWAYS check the legal implications of dealing with contract

manufacturers. They OWN you if your dumb enough to deal with the likes of them.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Thanks to one and all for the replies both on and off list. The funniest

part of this whole thing is that after I had posted the info request (and

after weeks of exhaustive research on the internet) I looked down at my

desk and lo and behold the October issue of Happi...2004 Contract

Manufacturing/Private Label Directory...hmmmpf Must have been covered by

mountains of paperwork only to miraculously appear in my time of need.

Isn't that always the way!

Anyway, I have been feverishly contacting manufacturers and may have found

one that suits my needs. We'll see!

Thanks again and I appreciate your help.
