Soapmaker Man Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I third nominate Columbus Foods! Mike is great and shipping is super fast! I bought my first gallon last week. I ordered one day and got the shipment of 4 oils on the 3rd day after I turned in the order! The order arrived before my credit card was charged! Great looking BO too, gotta make soap this weekend with it! After over 2 years of making soap, just now trying BO is a shame!Paul....

DeJae Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I had never used Babassu either, got it in my columbus foods co-op and I tell you....once you use it, there is no looking back!!!I should of actually gotten more....And I agree Paul, Mike is one terrific guy, he has been soaping for 15+ years and is a true soapaholic.

Grumpy Girl Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 CF is the best for babassu, I just wish they sold the stuff in a 50lb pail. Maybe we could all protest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I wish I had bought more things in your co-op to Dejae...Do you use the babassu in place of the PKO?I only got a small amount of PKO..I didn't really know what I was even doing,,when I bought all that stuff..lolI just knew I wanted to make soap...LOL I probably still don't know what I am doing..

DeJae Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Oh, there will be another co-op I am sure, hang in there....I don't use it in place of anything, made new recipes and put it in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystical_angel1219 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 If you do the math, CF per gallon for Babussu is WAY cheaper. Texas Supply is selling 7 lbs- which isn't a gallon for 31.00 and change. That same bottle, a full gallon- 8 lbs- 17.99 at Soaper Choice.I'd bet a lot of money that Texas Supply might use CF as a source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBE Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Wow. I see the difference in prices now. But CF doesn't offer smaller than 7lbs. Some oils I use, I don't NEED 7lbs. of it! LOL I'm killin' myself to find storage room now for all the stuff I have. LOL I don't use babassu oil anymore in my soap recipes, only in a few select other recipes, so I don't need much of it (I hate to have that much oil sitting in the cabinet for God know's how long... my storage space is limited and precious). But for the oils I DO need 7lbs. of... I might have to check CF out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Babassu has always been a product of my soap since my teacher told me it's the best bubble maker out there. At the rate I go through it, I agree, 7 isn't enough. Course I think I have 21 lbs of it now, so I'm stocked till my next panic buy (ok itch to buy).
