so im pretty much a cp soaper but occasionally make the odd lotion and body butter. Until now ive only ever made little 100ml- 150ml pots of butter for $10- $15 CAD. Now someones asking for one large jar of 1000ml and i have no idea what to charge? Ive only just recently started selling and shes my only only regular client who started selling my soaps in her beauty salon at Christmas time. Im so worried of over pricing and scaring her off but i also don't want to undersell myself. Does anyone have any advice?
 
How did you come by the $10/100ml number? Logic would dictate to use the same medthod.

A common/ easy way to calculate would be
2 x ingredient weigh = wholesale price
Wholesale price x 2 = purchase price

Make sure you add your overhead and labor costs as ingredients to come out ahead.

(Note: I don’t sell but I have looked up pricing in case I do in the future)
