The following are fantastic websites, but keep in mind, you get what you pay for and quality can vary greatly. I’m a serious sample lover and like to try things in small amounts first to assess quality. Some websites have a minimum purchase, too, and the shipping process can vary greatly. Just something to keep in mind when purchasing.
The following are general suggestions and nowhere near an exhaustible list, so I encourage you to do your own searching for suppliers, as well. Also, if the price of something like a precious essence is ridiculously low, chances are it will not be what it says it is or it will be cut with something else. Some examples of oils that should be pricy if they’re of good or high quality are sandalwood, agar agar, lotus, jasmine, rose, and neroli.
Also, be sure to check out Etsy (etsy.com) as there’s always a delightful variety of items on there for all your soaping needs!
