annareeb Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 they work fine for me.. I also use the push up kind too, I tend to favor the twist up type better.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elle110 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I think, and in my own experience selling the lotion bars, people love them because they are natural, don't take a preservative, they last longer than traditional lotion (mine last as long as 2 bottle of 4 oz lotion) and because they are loaded with skin loving ingredients to hit those extra dry spots (elbows, feet,cuticles etc). They continue to be one of my hottest sellers at show. I run a special for 3 of them and people scoop them up, I sold several hundred over the weekend. They also make UNIQUE giftsMost lotion bars start with beeswax and butters and oils plus fragrance and I use jojoba spheres for colorI have no experience with tubes I use tins and sell them like they are going out of stock. There is usually at least one other soaper at the shows I do and they use tubes and complain that they don't sellHTHMIchelleHey there! Hows it going ? I hope well.

What size tin are you using? What are you using as a mold? Are yours lotions bars 4oz or smaller? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
