    Essential Oil Imposters?

    Thanks guys!! I apologize, in re-reading this thread I completely seem like I'm having a melt down over the situation. I didn't mean to leave that impression, but I sure did! I suppose it just breaks my heart when people hand over their trust to someone and it's abused. It's the mom in me I...

    Door hangers/door to door selling?

    I also agree that if you go door to door, you might not be met with open arms. It used to be acceptable to do this, but at least where I'm from, that time has passed. Even friends and families don't seem to just 'pop' over nowadays without an invite or agreed upon day/time. Perhaps if you...

    Essential Oil Imposters?

    Good call Sistrum! So now I know there is such a thing, but it looks crazy expensive. Since you couldn't sell 4oz bars for $4 with that stuff in it, (and the soap is here and is crazy strong smelling), these are FO's being promoted as EO's. This one is supposed to be scented with the plumeria...

    Essential Oil Imposters?

    Yes, it seemed wrong to me. How about plumeria specifically.. is there an essential oil? Can't find that info anywhere. And 2 more scary bits... #1, the owner's business card identifies her as an aromatherapist. #2, they offer workshops.

    Essential Oil Imposters?

    I have a question!! I am from Canada. I make soap as gifts and keep my family well supplied. I have made lots of soap, and have done lots of research on soap and soap making laws in Canada (I would like to open my own soap business next year) I happened upon a soap company a few weeks ago. Their...

    Labeling soap as Natural or 100% Natural

    Such an interesting topic! My view is this. Soap doesn't grow on trees nor can you find it in the wild. So as an industry, it would be a bit misleading to ever refer to soap as 100% natural. Since ALL soap has been made with lye, and if we say lye were the disqualifier, there would be no...

    Suppliers in Ontario, Canada

    Yes, they're on Wellington in London, but not sure of the full address at the moment. You can give them a call. I talked to Donna there (finally, someone's name that's easy for me to remember!) and they are quite friendly.

    Suppliers in Ontario, Canada

    Since Candora Soap is closest to me and I'm really happy with the quality, it's where I wanted to do my shopping, but I need good pricing too. When I initially checked out there prices, they seemed good to me. But I didn't check out the EO prices before (I do buy those too!) Danielle's post...

    How do you package your soap for customers?

    Uline is an option for higher quantity bags etc. for us Canadians.

    I need a cutter

    Definitely I've found that while crinkle cutters give you a wonderful look to the soap, they are really hard to cut straight with. My husband made me a wooden mitre box to use with my straight soap cutter (any one would do I imagine) so that I can now get straight cuts every time. If you need...

    cling wrap

    I've never tried this, but I would imagine that it would be hard to properly line the mold with it, and even so, it would still have crinkles that would show up as a 'design' on the outside of the soap. I have always used waxed paper. I think cling wrap would be more trouble than it's worth...
