Where to buy....?

[Morgan Ipsale]

I’m a newbie and as a Christmas gift to myself i would like to order some items to start making bath products.
I’m wanting to make:
Whipped soap & scrubs
Cleansing facial oil
Eczema salve
Possibly soap...

I’m trying to go the more natural route but haven’t decided if I should do organic or not.


So I’m starting from the bottom & am going to need everything. I don’t want to buy a kit but I’m on a tight budget so I’m wondering where the best place to buy from is.. I know there are a lot of places that sell the ingredients I would need but I know some are going to cost a lot more than others. I need good quality stuff. I know brambleberry is good but I heard the shipping charges are insane.

Suggestions?

Hello and welcome. I would suggest searching ingredients for the items you want to make. There are threads on the forum for most of what you want to make. I don’t make any of what you are considering except soap. I make a scrub bit it’s emulsified and not made with soap.

You can purchase whipped soap bases from companies like WSP. Probably cheaper than making your own being on a limited spending budget. Salve can be made relatively easy. Though you’d never be able to make and sell it for eczema. Personal yes. There’s a great tread for cleansing oil here too.

Don't forget your local grocery/drug store for different oils and ingredients, depending on what you want to make.

Wholesale Supplies Plus sells kits for some products. You might try them.

WSP is good for kits to just try something. You might want to fill your cart and get a shipping estimate and compare WSP and Brambleberry. BB does have shipping, but the prices are lower. WSP has free shipping, but higher prices.
