This thread is to see if there is enough interest to run a co-op.
I just got a quote from SFIC. Here is the break down:
I just figured the cost on the shea base for the sake of crunching numbers.
Average cost is approx $3.12 for 1# pound of shea soap at an online retailer.
If I ordered 250# & figured in the shipping then divided by 250, each pound would end up costing approx $2.50.
We would save about .62cents per pound.
Savings on the whole 250# would be $155.00.
Savings on 25# would be approx $15.00.
Would it be worth it to host a co-op?
Who would need how much?
If we did a co-op I would offer probably 5 different bases, maybe more.
Clear
White
Olive Oil
Castile
Goat's Milk
Oatmeal
Aloe Vera
Honey
Low Sweat Like Cold Process
Low Sweat Clear
Shaving Soap
Shea Butter
Hemp Seed Oil
Cocoa Butter
Crystal Clear
NEW Organic Oil Clear
NEW Organic Oil White
We could also buy 5 gallon mini drums of the following liquid bases & I just estimated what the prices might be.:
Hand and Body Lotion $54.00 ($10.80 a gallon)
Hand Cream $66.00 ($13.20 a gallon)
Bubble Bath $54.00 ($10.80 a pound)
Bath and Shower Gel $68.00 ($13.60 a gallon)
Cocoa Butter Lotion $76.00 ($15.20 a gallon)
Liquid Soap $54.00 ($10.80 a gallon)
Shampoo $63.00 ($12.60 a gallon)
Those are excellent prices on the bases. I am paying about $20.00 a gallon for my lotion & shower gel right now from other sources!
Please respond to this thread by stating which items you might like & how much.
EX) 25 pounds of assorted soap, I like shea, cocoabutter & shaving, maybe some hemp, maybe 5 gallons of bubble bath.
Remember, this is just to see if there is enough interest, if there is another sales thread will be started.
