Hello everyone, I am a newbie and was looking to get some other's feedback on your cost per bar of cold process soap.
First of all, our soap is costing around $1.50/5oz bar, or $0.30/oz.
This is using organic oils, non organic everything else.
Using all natural ingredients, like colored kaolin or Brazilian clay, natural plant-based powders, and non-organic essential oils.
The EO's are purchased in 16oz containers.
Small batching right now, purchasing oils at 7-10 lb containers and adding coconut milk at 50% of water amount.
Getting organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, avocado oil and coconut milk at Sam's Club.
Is my bar cost of $1.50/5oz bar in line with others making similar all-natural soap using organic oils and EO's?
Seems like this may be a little high and maybe just because I am not purchasing in bulk.
Any of your thoughts/feedback will be much appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
