Things just keep getting curiouser and curiouser. A very interesting insight, but troubling at best. Now, back to my cauldron.

Magan, you and a couple others have really been helpful! The few names and links very valuable and have already been added to my list of favorites. Your help was greatly appreciated.

Thank You So Much! Now That Was Truly Helpful!!

Preferably reputable suppliers of previously compounded and well tested products in bulk quantities. Excellent products from which to choose those that would fit my marketing mix of men and ladies skin care, bath and body soaps, etc.. Thank you. I have already tried quite a range of "wholesale" products available prepackaged, but not yet found what I am seeking.

Peaks Candle Supplies THANK YOU!

Well, thanks so much for the help. While launching a store in town, a website store, and ebay store, shopping, buying, labeling, stocking and code development for the sites, some day I will, hopefully be able to read the past forum posts and so much more. Somehow, I had thought there might be a few here who could recommend the best of the best. Actually, I can't really imagine anyone that would be desirous of products that are greasy, separate when kept a few days, or packaged poorly. Somehow, I would think that professional selection and blending of ingredients could make for far more satisfied customers and directly drive sales. I don't pretend or desire to be a home brewer, but rather choose to look to those in the know with the training and experience to compound products properly, especially in the areas of soaps and skin care products. As a long term herbalist, at least I know that many "natural" products can do great harm, and others don't always deliver the best blend unless compiled by those who truly know what they are doing. That liability I don't want or need, especially when seeking bulk products for public use.

Thanks for the feedback. However, in virtually every industry there are those that rise above the pack and are known for their overall excellence both in terms of products and service. Thus far, through a few weeks of searching online and many purchases (until I have found this forum) I have found a HUGE range in quality and many who referred to themselves as wholesalers, but were not. Essentially I am seeking the best, because I want to produce and distribute the best.

As I have already seen a huge difference between the quality of bath and body products,I would greatly appreciate a recommendation for the very best, most reliable, PROVEN wholesale sources of bulk supply of soap making, creams, lotions, shaving products, balms, oils, and related Bath and body personal products, pakaging and similar supplies. Must be an established, exclusively wholesale supplier. While my preference is for natural products that are well formuated to benefit the user, the actual quality in terms of feel and function is also very important. For example, emulsions that stay emulsified and other additives that actually are absorbed rather than leaving a greasy look and feel, especially for shaving and other mens products. Bottm line, not "natural" just as a sales term and not poorly formulated either in terms of skin feel or longevity. Your experiences and suggestions are greatly appreciated! Basically I am looking for premium quality that works and also appears desirable to use in the short and long term. Thanks so much.
