It takes a while to formulate a GOOD deodorant product that is a) effective, b ) has a good “feel” staying usable over time.

 

So many deodorants  are waxes and oils with baking soda that actually hurt to apply, dry out over weeks, get grainy over time, cause skin rashes, and just plain do not work. 

 

Don’t rush deodorant. 

  Do you think that using a Melt & Pour will prevent these issues?

thank you

I want to try out selling some natural deodorants at an upcoming craft; because this is my first time, I thought that M&P might be a good way to start. 

I could only find a couple of websites selling deodorant M&P and the pricing did not seem very competitive considering the ingredients are few and very simple.

I'm such a tight wag but don't want to be a 'pound' foolish either......what are your opinions?...should I make the deodorant scratch myself......or spend the money for M&P?

Thanks for the tips and the link for the recipe.

I just might try making it from scratch myself......or do you think, for the first time I should spend the money for M&P?

Are there any melt & pour soaps that can also be use for deodorant?

I know...I know .....silly and stupid question but I had to ask

Can anyone suggest a wholesale source for deodorant tubes?

This forum has been an excellent resource for me during my journey to reduce my overall cost to sell my scented whipped shea butter....thanks to everyone!!

I have another question.....I'm wondering if I can reduce my container cost by switching from a double wall jar to a single wall jar.  I've searched the internet for the pros and cons but with no significant success.  Is this just a 'preference' issue?

From a customer point of view, do you think it makes a difference if they purchased whipped shea butter in a single wall vs double wall jar?  

Your thoughts

what is 'OOB'?

What is 'WSP'?

I need to locate another wholesale or retail source for shea butter.  I'm searching for a supplier who sells ivory shea butter for approx $2.00 - $2.60 pound.  Can anyone help me locate a supplier?

I'm looking for a fragrance oil supplier who has the scent 'Pink Chiffon' ......can anyone help me locate a supplier?

I've looked at their fragrance oils, and their prices are sky high.  Buttercream Icing, which they are selling for $26 per pound, was just on sale for $7 per pound.  I'm all for making a profit, but that seems excessive.

Who is your supplier for FO?
