Lorelei Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I live in Texas and I'm wondering what the best place would be to purchase oils (price wise) such as jojoba, coconut, avocado etc.Currently I'm buying at MMS and love their oils but wondered if there was some place that might cost less that would have less shipping to Texas?

Tomara Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If you don't mind big amounts (cheaper that way) try http://www.soaperschoice.com./Here is a vendor in Ft. Worth (Benbrook)that has basic soaping oils that has some good prices as well (small and large amounts): http://www.suppliesbystar.com/HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudMarineMom Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Ingredients to Die For is in Austin (I think) http://www.ingredientstodiefor.com/ They are a little more expensive on some of their oils, but it might work out depending on shipping. Waiting on my first order from them.Another place in Austin is Texas Natural Supply http://www.texasnaturalsupply.com/default.aspx?categoryid=0 Also, more expensive but it might be worth checking out to see if shipping is better. I've never used this supplier.Some of the best prices I've found for smaller amounts of oils is Camden Grey (they also have bulk prices) http://www.camdengrey.com/ They have an on-going special of $8.95 for a shipment of 4lbs or less. Shipping isn't too bad if over that amount. They are in Miami and have been a great supplier for me.Soapers Choice is definitely the best place to get oils at a good price. But, you have to buy in the larger containers. Every so often, someone will do a co-op from there and will bottle the oils in smaller containers.hth - J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudMarineMom Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 On her website it says she is selling the business by the end of the year. Wonder how that might go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 You won't find any good prices on Jojoba right now. I like Texas Natural Supply b/c they are local to me but they are a one stop shop for everything. I know you can request them to ship US Mail instead of UPS. Sign up for their newsletter as they offer great sales like 20% off your total. They haven't had a sale lately but I bet they do soon.

Darbla Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Thanks, I did not know that. But I'm not a prolific bath and body stuff maker, like some of you are. I'm looking around for some now because I ran out of what I had, but it took me ages to finish that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 I bought from soapers choice, and the prices were good enough that even if my oils expire I will still be paying less. I was very happy with the products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) I bought from soapers choice, and the prices were good enough that even if my oils expire I will still be paying less. I was very happy with the products.Wow, looks like they got some back in. Last time I looked they were charging 999,000 for it. lol I have some Jojoba that is several years old and I even found some that was in my garage in the hot hot hot Texas heat for a couple years and it is still fine, no odor at all.
