rwaromatics Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Which is your favorite supplier for getting a lot of different types of ingredients all in one place? Specifically, oils, butters, packaging supplies, and emulsifiers/lotion making ingredients (stearic acid, emulsifying wax, etc)? Are there any reasonably priced places that provide this? Or, maybe more importantly, any suppliers with reasonable shipping prices? It seems like in the process of buying the best priced ingredients from various suppliers, you more than make up for the price with shipping!

Scented Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Soaper's Choice for me. They don't carry everything, but that's where I start. MMS would be next and I have to look into this Texas place Theresa brought up a couple of times. Wouldn't it be great to have one-stop shop for it all in every state lol.

eugenia Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Columbus for oils, Oils by Nature too but they don't carry Babassu. Lotioncrafter is great for all the **stuff** that goes in the B&B products.Bayousome for packaging. Wish I could do one stop shopping!e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asheebeans Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 WSP is good for a one stop shop but their shipping is a killer! I live close enough to pick up, thankfully, but I can't imagine what it would cost to ship big orders of wax, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 for one stop shopping i would say MMS and WSP. but for me, i am not able to get everything from the two, but they are good places to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 forgot to mention, FNWL is a good one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMary Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 WSP as long as you aren't ordering wax. That's about the only thing, and I'm about 800 miles from them. Shipping is pretty good comparitively. They may not be the cheapest in a certain product, but if you add in the rest of the stuff you could buy and shop in one spot, shipping gets a whole lot cheaper.

sudsnwicks Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I use www.thesage.com for most of my one-stop shopping. But if you are on the east coast then you'd be better off finding someplace closer to save on shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsngarden Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 ditto to MMS. These days though I need too much to use them consistently so I have a variety of suppliers. When I just started they were what I used all the time though if I had to buy online (BB is local to me so I can go there if I want - but often MMS was cheaper than BB even if I paid shipping!)

Christine Flapp Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm a loyal customer for years at www.gardenofwisdom.com. This is the only supplier who lets you order a small amount of anything on the site so it gives you an opportunity to sample without going broke. Markey offers instant shipping, excellent prices & very high quality merchandise. You won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beau's mama Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 forgot to mention, FNWL is a good one tooAre they really open for business LOL? They do have a variety of things, but every time I click on something I may want to order, it's always OOS. That site has a "twilight zone" feeling to me...like the lights are on but nobody's home...ETA: WSP here too...and the Sage...and Oregon Trails...and Elements Bath & Body...and...

rwaromatics Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 What's the url for Columbus? And FNWL is open, but I know what you mean about their products often being OOS. I used to wonder if they were open for business, as well, but I have ordered fairly recently. Some of their products just sell out fast, I think, or they only have very small supplies, because I've received emails saying a product is back in stock, but within a couple weeks, it's back out of stock. Thanks, everyone. WSP is a favorite, but the shipping is a killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
