Just FYI, we have not used them ourselves, but there are several threads on other forums about Gelluminations. I'd guess there are 20% good comments and 80% bad comments. Most complaints are about very slow shipments and slow (or no) response to emails and phone calls. I did not see much discussion about their products one way or the other.

Good luck.

oh my gosh, 10- 1 ouncers for 10$, crazy! please someone let us know if this is a good place, even if they didnt soap well you could use fos for lotion bars or scrub.

I've soaped some and they sometimes do well.

The company is fine for a hobby soaper, but if you have an actual need for a particular oil they suck because their turn around time is long, and backorders seem to disappear in their system. Getting stuff from them take way too much effort.

I haven't been overly impressed with the oils myself. The shipping is always slow, they do not respond to emails or calls, and 2 oils I purchased from them were back ordered & took 2 MONTHS to ship out to me. I understand the back order thing, but at least an update would have been nice. 2 months is ridiculous.
That was the last order I placed with them.

I ordered from them twice.

And OH! the coincidences. Each time after many ignored emails and several messages left on voice mail I finally got through to ask about my back ordered oil and Wouldn't You Know - they'd just come in that VERY morning and were being poured of AS WE SPOKE!!!

Funny how that works huh?

I was not impressed. Very slow shipping, no customer service, the oils are nothing to write home about.

Ten for $10 is a deal, though. Might be worth a shot.

It's not a great deal to me when I'm never sure if or when they will arrive & there's no response from the company. I'd rather pay more & get great customer service
