Hi everyone.
I am new to sopaing and have only recently started. So for I have made two batches and am in love with it. My issue however is obtaining the right supplies without having to send for them. I like the idea of going into a store and smelling the scents and being able to purchase products right there.
I hade done weeks of research before venturing out, recipe in hand to gather the ingredients. I must admit, this was more of a task than actually making the soap. Why is it so hard to find these products? Or, is it just me being a newbie? I looked everyone for specific ingredients. I checked stores, health food stores, Wal-Mart...everywhere. Am I blind?? When I did finally find the ingredients the prices were out of this world. I'm sure I spent well over $150 to get start up ingredients and that doesn't even include purchasing EO that I already had on hand and other ingredients like shea and cocoa butter and coconut oil.
Any suggestions would be more than appreciated. Thanks!
