That is how they are bagged -- " Morton Solar Salt " (just like the table salt brand). either 20 or 40 pounds (I can't remember!). If people in the grocery look at you weird when you ask for them, tell them they are the salts that go in the water softner tanks.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2000 Report Share Posted August 20, 2000 Hi , I order from www.aquariusaroma-soap.com . They have really good stuff, and their prices are in Canadian dollars [they ship from Washington state], so when you work it out, the prices are very good. >From: " Suits " <kenoqueen7@...> >Reply-egroups >egroups >Subject: supplies >Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 14:29:23 -0000 > >I would appreciate advice on suppliers for aloe vera gel and sweet >almond oil -- >you can e-mail me privately >thanks >yvonne > ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Savannah and I have difficulty finding the things I need since Savannah is not the most progressive town around lol. >> hi ! Welcome to soapland There are many, many suppliers on the internet.. and from the research I've done around my hometown (Burlington, Vermont).. I've found the internet prices to be extremely less expensive. This list runs co-ops from time to time, and I've gotten some awesome things that way, too. For very small quantities of herbs, etc, for a particular recipe, that I'm just testing, or don't plan to make very often, I will visit my local herb shop or natural food store, where I can buy just an ounce, or even a teaspoon. The place you want to check first for a very long list of internet suppliers is in the library, the address is at the bottom of every email, but here it is again: http://www.luxurylane.com/thelibrary/index.htm, it's definitely worth checking out. Click on the " supplies " icon on the bottom, and you're set to go! We all have our favorite suppliers, based on past experiences, and I'm sure each list bud's favorites would be just a bit different, based on what they order more often. I have several that I order from, some based on price, some on quality. Good luck! Lynne in Vermont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 I have ordered from several times. She is always prompt and her products are great. If you look on her ordering and shipping page the phone number is there. This is what it says on that page: For telephone orders please call (978) 375-8023 weekdays between the hours of 10am-4pm EST.

I'm sure they are fine but those who are just starting out with your website and business,, it is an absolute must that you have a phone number & address posted. Many credit card companies will not give a merchant account without that infomation available to the customer. and anyway ,, you want to set your customer at ease and give them the confidence to know that they can get ahold of you when they want to.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 hi Kate.. I buy my 5o lb batches of coconut from syracuse popcorn supply on Beldon St., get my palm from mike out at colubus Oils(best buy I have found for that size even with shipping), I use a lot of Now brand almond oil and caster which you can usually find at the health food stores and the best place thus far for me for olive is to look at all grocery stores for the best sales. I usually don't pay over $8 for my tins of olive. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 You might try checking your restaurant supply places. They often sell janitorial supplies -- that's where I get mine. One of our local stores is called Smart and Final, and they carry the good old Red Devil Lye. HTH Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2001 Report Share Posted October 7, 2001 Often times, if you request it the grocery store will order it. My local hardware store has offered to order it for me. That will help with the hazmat fee and shipping. Especially if you will buy the whole case. (My store gets it in 12 count cases and I can do that.)

Try looking at/for chemical companies or cleaning supply companies in your yellow pages, . Pool companies may have it too. A friend of mine works at Dairyland (here in British Columbia Canada) and they clean their floors daily with Lye (caustic soda)...maybe phone a dairy and see if they have any as well.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Bev, Check soapcrafters. They deal with a lot of Canadian orders. I think they have info on their site. If not, I am sure if you email Pam she would have the info for you. Thats an awful lot of money to pay just to cross the border. www.soapcrafters.com Donna E.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2002 Report Share Posted March 31, 2002 I get 99% of my supplies on the internet. But I do get my melt and pour base from 's crafts. I have found it impossible to get the butters and waxes and preservatives locally. But I do get my oils at Safeway they sell a different variety of oils such as Walnut, Almond, Hazelnut etc.I get my Olive oil at Costco. I also get my essential oils and fragrance oils on the internet. By shopping the internet, I haven't gotten burned yet. and in my opinion that is probally the best place to get your supplies, unless you live in a big city where you can buy anything that you want or need.
