Hello from South Africa

Hi I am very new the soap making world. I have played around with 100% tallow soaps this far as I cannot fine a supplier in Pretoria for the oils.
Most of the supermarkets are crazy with their prices for oils that are not Sunflower oil. I have found two places in Johannesburg with reasonable prices but with the petrol price getting out of hand I would love to have a supplier closer.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum. You might try an Internet Supplier. Here is a link for Shea Butter: http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/109779211/Shea_Butter.html

and one for sweet almond oil: http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/115802527/Sweet_Almond_Oil.html

Hello and welcome! :wave:

I don't know what to suggest for a source. I hope you'll be able to find some suppliers.
