Sharon in PA Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 OK, the prices are OUTRAGEOUS (at least to ME!) BUT there are a few that I would just LOVE to try, Pumpkin Spice Frappacino, for starters!!! I may break down and order a few JUST for ME!Now, my question is, are there many of you that can tell me that they've had good luck w/ these in wax? (mainly looking for soy users results as I pour a 50/50)Thanks so much!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxSioux Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I've never heard of this supplier before, but what an amazing selection of fo's! They all sound wonderful & very upscale. Woof, some of the prices are really up there, in candle standards. I, too, would love to hear any soy results.Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxSioux Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I sent an email asking about their soy testing. They have maybe 6 w/ soy ratings & all were good to awesome. I know we're all the mercy of our own testing, but for those prices I'd at least like a bit of guidance to help me decide. I think everyone interested should drop them an email asking about soy results & maybe they'll get a little more active in marketing to us non-soapers. BTW, why are soap suppliers always so much higher on their fo's -- are they a higher grade?Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in PA Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 BTW: I tried to add a few things in their cart and see what shipping would be to me, and their cart won't give you shipping cost till after you pay, at least from what i could see...:undecided Did anyone else try that?

socoolsoap Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Their shipping isn't too bad. I can order 4lbs and it's under $10.00 for me.I have only tested a few of their fo's in my candles and they seemed to perform great. I used Soy wax btw.

socoolsoap Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I guess it depends on how you see it. If you want them for candles only, the yeah, the prices are high.But if you want for b&b or both, the prices will be higher due to the chemical makeup of the oils. I've learned that in order to make them skin and soap safe, the cost to make them goes up. Candles require less ingredient make up, no need in worrying about making them skin safe, thus why they are cheaper.BTW, I actually learned this from GenWax when I had asked them years ago why most of their fo's weren't skin safe. They were very informative and helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxSioux Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Thanks, socool, that's a helpful answer. There's too many variables to guarantee an fo will throw, but do most people find the skin safe/soap fo's have a better throw in wax than a non skin safe version? I'm really intrigued by this supplier & it doesn't look like we'll get any reviews for wax.Susan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubure Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I've tried some in CB-135 and CB-Advanced with a very good result!Clementine & Lavender is very good, so is their coconut, well, just anything i tried. I don't think you can make big mistakes in ordering from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
