month (PLEASE somebody say yes .. I really need some .. I want co-op

prices and will do a co-op if I must but I don't have the time *BIG

GRINZ*)????

Okay, I will do it:)

 

I am trying to figure out whether to order a case of jars (like 4 oz or

something) or to order big bulk containers and then tins or jars to

break it into.

 

What do you think?

 

I am looking at prices now trying to figure out the best deal.

 

Blessings,

Happy Saturday Night Sose

I bet bulk butter and seperate bulk jars would be less expensive .. BUT

... it may not be that much less expensive AND it is more work .. so you

must figure all that in .. I can tell you though I'd be interested in

purchasing pounds if you can do that ..

Well, if most people want pounds, then it would be much cheaper to buy

containers and butter separate. But if most people want less than 8 ozs,

than I would rather buy them pre-packaged:)

 

I also found a supplier for cocoa butter. Looks to be about $8/pound or

so, depending on how much we buy. Sounds like a good price to me, what

do you guys think?

 

I also am wanting to get some sweet almond oil, so I thought I might

throw that in too. I found it by the gallon for $30/gallon. Good price?

High price? Never bought it that big before:)

 

Blessings,

Soseneda

Why not just use ziploc bags instesad of buying jars or containers. I've

purchased it like that before.

OK dumb question time..... Do you use shea butter in soap or ???

Would I use it instead of another oil?? What does it do??? Guess I

should of said dumb question(s) time...

 

Thanks, Carol

[Guest guest]

I use it for body butters and lip quenchers. Shea butter is an excellent

moisturizer and helps hold your body's moisture. I am just starting back

with soap making so I have never tried it but plan to as I love everything

I have used in it thus far. I am sure some of the professionals here can

give input on amounts to use and what to use it for in place of what other

ouls.

Hiya all,

 

The other way I've purchased it was in plastic containers - yanno, the ones

like you see at the grocery stores with hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm... maybe

the store's potato salad or something in them? Wonder if you could buy them

right from a local grocery? Cheap.......? just a thought.......

 

Hugs,

 

Marilyn

That is what I was thinking of, if we got containers. Every time I have

ever gotten the stuff in a bag it has either bust open during shipping

or it has become a huge mess in my shop shortly after. It is also

impossible to scrape the inside of a plastic bag with a spatula:)

 

I found some of those plastic type containers, they are single wall

plastic with screw top lids though, they are 16 oz and $0.60 a piece. I

thought that was pretty reasonable, since you can store the butter in

those after you get it. As opposed to the plastic bags which will leak

out oil through the pores and eventually degrade into the shea butter.

 

I also found double wall ones, but those only went up to 8 oz. Still not

a bad price on the smaller ones, and no minimum case orders.

 

Blessings,

Soseneda

Hey Sose?

 

Did you try SKS bottle company? If you do a 500 buck order,they'll take 100

bucks off........ and they " may " have something that you can use..

who knows.. they always have specials too.. www.sks-bottle.com (I think).......

Hey Sose,

I would also take pounds of both shea and cocoa butters.

Just let me know when and where.

Thanks,
