Only problem there is I don't make any one scent often enough to keep one on hand. Otherwise, that would be a great idea!!!

Thanks!  Yup, I wondered about the pointy tops.  Just was hoping for something easier than having to wash those eye droppers all the time!

Hmm.  I'll look into that and see if it might work!  Will keep you updated.  Thanks!!!

I was wondering if any of you happen to use replacement caps for your oils?  I'm thinking this might be easier for me than having to worry about eye droppers when blending my fragrances...  But, am having a hard time seeing where to buy them.  Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

I found this website that has some ideas as to what items to use for liquid soap!  I hope this might help some...

TallTayl Saved me from sending you that link!!!

My first place that I got fragrances from was The Candle Makers Store.  But, since I've been here I found Natures Garden and actually like them better for my scents!!!  For the most part, I'm afraid that finding your favorite store or stores will take a little trial and error.  But, we're here to talk with along the way!!!

 I don't buy mine, but have recently made my own.  So, am afraid this might not help.  However, mine recently has consisted of: Sweet Orange, Vanilla, Cinnamon & Frankincense.  I've called this Christmas Memories!!!

Update.  I sent a message to NG and my order got shipped 9/3.  It FINALLY got to my door yesterday 9/10 through UPS.  Pretty sad to have ordered that small amount on 8/27 in order to wait until 9/10 to actually get it!!!  But, I suppose I'm actually happy to just have it in my hands though!!!!

Cooll!!!  Glad things turned out so good with this scent!  Makes me wonder what it'd be like in a perfume...

I ordered a few things from Nature's Garden on Friday and told that my purchase would be shipped out first thing Monday morning.  This is Wednesday and their website still says my order is being processed with no further email or notification.  I'm wondering if they might be short on supplies...

Honestly, I'm not sure at the moment.  I think I'm ok for now, I can probably wait for a bit.  If I found a screaming deal, I'd probably bounce on it though.

Soapers choice by the 7 lb bottle.  It is spendy, but lasts essentially forever if stored properly. 

Thanks for your reply!  Ouch!  Yup, it is a bit expensive...but I suppose if you divide it up it doesn't hurt the pocket book quite as bad.  Especially, when I spend a little more than that for 16oz Sweet Almond Oil.  🙂

I was wondering where you all might purchase your jojoba oil from.  I've been looking to buy some, but everywhere seems to be terribly expensive.  Do you have any ideas?  

Thank you,

Lisa

Not Dollar General, but this is what I found...

Sounds good!!!  I ordered some tin containers yesterday from Etsy and they should be here in a few days!  Can't wait to play around with these!!!!

I hope it's alright.  The other day I looked up your website because I wanted to see your other creations.  Looks like you've got all kinds of really neat stuff on there!!!! 😊

One of the things I like most was when you name your scents, you keep it really simple!  Some of the solid perfumes I've been playing around with making have too many scents to list them.  So, I've been trying to figure out names for them instead...

Cool!!!  That helps a lot!!!  Thanks!!  I love how simple your labels are and how you can determine each item.  Don't worry, sometimes bigger can be better!  😄

I offer both!  I offer a 2 oz twist up container and in a tin. I sell both equally well.  The tin is great for fitting in a purse or travel bag.

I was wondering if you use different shapes or containers so people can tell which scent they're getting?  Or, do you package everything the same?  Thanks! 

Hi!  I'm afraid that I haven't made body butters, so please forgive me.  But, can you please tell me what you use for ingredients?  I see this place that seems to use vitamin E with theirs.  Maybe that would help...

I hope you're able to find a solution!  🙂

So far I've tried Nature's Garden's: 

Egyptian Musk

Fresh Ginger

Honeydew Melon

Toasted Hazelnut

Orange Blossom

Today I received these four scents in the mail, however I haven't gotten them yet or tried them.  Will update soon though.

Cedar Wood

Coconut

Grapefruit-Ruby Red

Black Currant

I've been seeing this too and was wondering about this as to what it was and how they were earned!  I've looked to find out more info on this but, couldn't see anything...

Thanks!  I've also been thinking; I have fruits, florals & neutrals.  So, maybe each of these could be different containers this way...

I'm torn.  Since I've started playing around with making Solid Perfume, I've always used these cheap plastic containers from Dollar Tree.  I've always liked them because I could use either round or square so you could tell which scent you were getting.  But, now I see these round cool tin ones that would look nice too.  Which do you prefer to use?  I've seen both used equally, so I'm not sure...

Thank goodness you got them!!! 😊  Too bad it took so long though, always worse when you need something but don't have many choices as to how to get it.  I've been there...

It's been a crazy year with shipping taking forever or items just simply not being available for months.  Most of it is understandable due to all the Covid stuff and places like Bramble berry are now back to usual quick shipping.  I have some items that I ordered in April and were supposed to be here soon but just checked on them and now it says September! I need my containers!

The same company that purchased WSP just recently also bought Elements Bath and Body (my orders from them now show WSP on my bills) and they also bought make your own.  It doesn't help that they keep having large sales on random items.  I'm definitely having to rearrange some things because of the long wait!  I'm in a few groups on Facebook and WSP is definitely losing people.

 

My goodness, September?  Is it something that can be bought somewhere else?  I think if it were me, I'd cancel my order!  I've recently been ordering from Natures Garden and have been pretty happy with them.
