kandlekrazy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'm really new to the whole B&B scene and I'm finding that one supplier will not have all or most of the ingredients needed for a recipe. I'm making scrubs, butters and M&P soaps for my own personal use and to give to my family so I don't want 4 lbs plus of an oil or additive. Is there any one place to buy small quantities that will have 90% of what I need or am I just dreaming here? I've tried to search the internet, but no luck:(. I don't need M&P base suppliers, just for all the other oils and additives. I did find Chemistry Connection on Ebay they seem to have most of the additives, anyone used them?

Sister Kya Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 What supplies do you need?There are LOTS of suppliers to choose from out here on the web. Some specialize in B&B supply. I tend to use MMS for a lot of things but I remember having trouble finding one-stop-shopping when I was first starting out. A high-quality, cheap, fast, well-stocked supplier of everything we could want is indeed the Holy Grail...Let us know what you're looking for and we'll see what we can do.

beau's mama Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 For small quantities, off the top of my head is WSP, MMS, and my new fave GoW. GoW doesn't sell mp base (I don't think) but they do have quite a bit of additives in small quantities.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks for the info, I'll check them out and see if they have what I need (or think I need!) in small qty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporadic Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 You can use this site to help find suppliers close to you, then compare products and pricing:http://www.SuppliersByState.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 You can use this site to help find suppliers close to you, then compare products and pricing:http://www.SuppliersByState.comThanks, I tried that link first. I think WSP has most of what I'm looking for and I should be able to get the rest from just one other supplier...at least until I decide to try something else to make! I guess it's going to be the same as candles...too many suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks for that link, I couldn't figure out what GoW was. They have lots of goodies! It may be a dangerous place to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Flapp Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I'm a loyal customer for years at www.gardenofwisdom.com because they are the only supplier who lets you order a small quanity so you get a chance to sample without going broke. They offer excellent products/prices/fast professional service. No one can beat their excellent customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Oregon Trails has many of the items I use. They also offer a sample pack of oils. I think it's 3 - 8oz bottles or something like that. Their M&P is SFIC. Customer service has been excellent every time I've ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
