This may end up being a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Had a customer yesterday tell me that she has a 'big bottle of amber essential oil, that cost $500' and she'd like to 'give' it to me, so that I can make salt scrubs and soap for her with it. I have never heard of amber...

Hi all! I haven't bee around in awhile, but I really need some help with an account. Please let me know what you would do: I have a boutique account who is also a personal friend. She opened her shop about 1.5 years ago and I've been selling to her since she opened. She has stock of mine...

Does anyone have definitive proof that if a person has a latex allergy, then they are also allergic to avocado oil, shea butter, mango butter, castor oil, etc? I thought - at least in the case of shea butter that the proteins are NOT the same as the protein in latex gloves & balloons...

So, last night -for the first time - I heard the phrase "Medical Grade Lanolin". I've been in this business for awhile now and have never heard that before. Anyone know if this is a real thing or a marketing term? I've been rolling around the interwebz and can't find anything that...

I keep seeing these soaps... poured into drinking glasses. Some come looking like an exotic adult beverage, some have shower poufs on top. I've never done this, but I am wondering how they are used. Does the soap slide out if you turn it upside down? Do you have to pour water over it? Can...

Just started my foray into liquid soap this weekend. I am using Irish Lass' (I believe it's hers, please excuse me if I'm wrong) directions for the glycerin method - the one where you mix up the paste and let it sit overnight. I got that part. All is going great there. Second try at the paste...

So, a friend of mine has access to fresh beeswax and she just told me she's going to make a solid perfume out of this beeswax, hemp oil and essential oils. Then put it in some sort of container that you wear around your neck. I know nothing about perfume. Can you tell me if this will work? I...

Does anyone know of a Love's Baby Soft dupe that will work in CP? Yeah, gross, I know - but I have a customer request. I can't seem to find one on my own. TIA!!

I need advice from other wholesalers - I had a request from a woman here in town to become a wholesaler of my products that I am not sure how to handle. Normally, I wouldn't even consider this request, but this woman is a "celebrity" - Ellen deGenres paid for her to get ear implants, she wrote a...

Does anyone know if there's a dupe for "Suave Morrocan Oil Infused Shampoo" out there? A friend asked if I can "infuse" a soap with this smell, lol. I've looked at the suppliers I normally use and haven't come up with anything and I really have no idea what it smells like. Please let me...

Does anyone remember who took over the Moonworks Collection? I'm trying to find their Celestial Sea, if it's still around. Thanks!

If you were going to sell a customer a whole loaf (cut bars) from a non-custom batch - what would you charge? Right now I ask $5.50 a bar - online and at events. How much, if any, discount do you give? She has the option of buying 10 or 20 bars at a whack.

I've been skulking around long enough and signed up for the forum today. I'm Pam and I'm currently living in Texas. I'm a New England girl, born and bred, but have to be in the South for a bit longer. I've been experimenting with bath&body since 1991, off and on, and serious about it since...
