I normally use:

WSP: FOs and whatevers
BB: FO and non powdery whatevers - I don't enjoy their packaging
Mad Oils: FO, EO & mica
Nurture Soap: mica
Lotioncrafter: I just got a bunch of stiff from them and was very impressed

Oils:
Lard: supermarket, but I'm about to switch to a bigger amount supplier
OO: Costco
CO: Amazon Snappy White Popcorn Oil
Butters and fancy oils: Mile High Soaps - it's a local supplier for me
 
Wow! Great tip on the coconut oil! Thanks, Snappyllama! Soaper's Choice has is cheaper, but they kill you in shipping! Love that Prime! Hmmm, I'm going to have to search Amazon Prime for some FOs, just for the heck of it.


LMBO: I was looking at FOs and I found a "Vanilla Bean" soap making FO, 8 oz for 14.99. The product description was "Top Quality Fragrance Oil." There were two 5 star ratings; one stated they used it in "CP recipe and it worked very well!" I know where to buy my top quality fragrance oils that will work well in cold process soap!! Wow. Just wow. :shock:

Why isn't Essential Depot on the poll? I just started using them but I think the products are good and when they have a deal on free shipping the price is really good. I like WSP and use them as well. Bulk Apothecary has the best web page ever...going there is like shopping in a old country store.
