Best sources for slsa, cocoa and shea butter

[lenarenee]

You'd like I would have learned by now not to say "never" to something. Never to cold process instead of hot process, never to salt bars, never to bath bombs, bubble scoops and body wash.

*sigh* Well, now I feel like experimenting with new things! And once again it's an expensive endeavor.
But I must cure my curiosity and give them a try.

I haven't found cocoa butter for under $10 a pound, or SLSA for under $17 a pound (both Amazon Prime). Do you know of better sources for the west coast?

And while most recipes use SLSA for bubbles, I see that (it was either NG or RE) one recipe uses Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate - because SLSA requires the use of a respirator....??

Save On Citric has SLSA powder for $11.65 per pound. A pound of refined cocoa butter is $9.65. I don't know what the shipping will cost you, though.

I get my SLSA from Two Wild Hares, she is a bit better on shipping than Savon On Citric, of course it depends on the quantity you purchase. Cibaria in Riverside has Cocoa Butter at 47.46 for 7 lbs making it $6.78 per lb if you pickup.
Essentials by Catalina has it for $9.75 per lb and they are located in Corona. Neither are that far from you for picking up
