How to locate recommended soap suppliers.

One of my subscribers asked for recommended soap suppliers.

Here are my recommended resources:

This soap base supplier comes highly recommended:

You will also need soap fragrances:

And as for moulds, there's a great verity over at:

http://www.brambleberry.com/molds.html

It's also highly recommended that you check out ebay to find some moulds, and maybe some other cheap suppliers for materials. Just go to ebay and search for "soap moulds" and "soap supply", "oil fragrances" etc. You never know what you'll come across...

Remember that once you find that great supplier - you can order again and again.

Olive Oil for Soap

Here's an ebay auction for olive oil designated for soap making:  

...This auction is for 1 full gallon of Imported Pomace Olive Oil. As a fellow soapmaker, I know how frustrating it can be to find needed ingredients at a fair price. I make my living by selling soap and other products from a brick-and-mortar business, so I order supplies in bulk - and I'm happy to pass along the savings. The supplies I offer here are the same ingredients I use in making the products I sell in my shop. You can be assured they are all top quality. Why buy from a company who doesn't make soap, or an occasional soaper who is difficult to contact, when you can buy from a full-time soapmaker with a brick and mortar business?
