Thank you for your interest in wholesaling our Handmade Soap! Here is our basic information on how we handle wholesale accounts.

Should you have other questions not answered here, or specific to you and your company, please contact us.

Handmade Soap Description
All soaps are cut to approximately 4.5 ounces. We cut by hand and size may vary slightly from bar to bar. We feel this lends a nice handmade feel. All soaps have beveled edges for the comfort of the user. Un-beveled edges can be sharp!

Handmade Soap Variety
We are able to make a large variety of soaps. We are happy to create a recipe specific to your business. Whatever we may do to help you please, contact us.

Ingredients?
While we do offer a couple varieties of soaps containing dairy or honey (*these will be well noted), most of our soaps are Vegan Friendly, containg no animal products or bi-products. We strive to provide quality products for our vegan family and friends.

We typically use the following oils, but are not limited to these: palm oil, palm kernel oil, olive oil, rice oil, canola oil, soybean oil, coconut oil. We use fragrance oils as well as essential oils. Some soaps are naturally colored, colored with spices, botanicals or clays, and some use man-made oxides (natural oxides are not skin safe and no longer available). Distilled water or soy milk and sodium hydroxide are the catalyst.

For detailed information on a specific soap blend, please contact us.

Will you create a custom soap recipe specific for my business?
Absolutely! We love doing this type of thing! Just contact us with your specifications. We’ll research ingredient cost and come up with a customized recipe and cost specific to your business. (Ideas: Cater to the Hemp Lover; Gentle soap for young child; Specific to scent - own a site about Roses? We’ll custom make a Rose scented soap, just for your business.) Depending on ingredients there may be a cost increase.

No Competition
If you label your own soaps, or have us label with a custom to your business label, there is absolutely no competiton from us to you. You may sell your soaps for any price you wish and you customers won’t come to us for a cheaper price.

What is the minimum per purchase?
We know how hard it is to meet high minimums to provide stock for a shop. Because of this, we’ve lowered our wholesale minimum to 18 bars, with a minimum of 6 bars per soap fragrance or blend. Price will depend on labeling preferences.

What is the turn around time on wholesale orders?
This depends on what we have on stock at the time the order is placed. Some determining factors include, but are not limited to: soaps we already have in stock; supplies we have in stock and/or what we need to order; size of the order; time of year.

We will give you an estimated time-line and keep you up-to-date of our progress. All times are an estimate, though we strive to meet all deadlines on time, barring any family illness, or unforeseen incidents. We are a family of 6 and I just never know what may happen!

Once we establish a working relationship, you will we given a phone number as an additional means of communication.

When is payment due?
Order under $100 are required to pay in full at the time the order is placed*. Orders over $100 are required to pay 50% of sub-total* upon initial ordering.
*Shipping cost is separate and will be invoiced after the order is complete and ready to ship. Order will ship once the shipping cost has been paid.

What is the shipping cost?
We ship USPS Priority Mail. We charge actual shipping cost and it is determined on the size/weight of the order. This is unknown until the order is complete, packaged and ready to ship. We try to make use of USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail boxes whenever possible. The cost for shipping this way is currently $8.10. Insurance is extra and must be specified, as we don’t ask.

Do you offer refunds?
Unfortunately, due to the nature of our products, we do not offer refunds. We require partial, or full payment at the time of order, if you cancel your order prior to it being shipped, 50% of your sub-total will be refunded to you. Anything paid above that initial down-payment will be refunded. Exceptions may be made on an individual basis if order is cancelled prior to us making or ordering any extra supplies.

Exception: If we cancel the order, you will be refunded in full.
