It’s all about the wax war….

Over the past year the cost of my supplies have sky rocketed. The cost of the wax and shipping has nearly doubled in just 2 years. It’s been steadily going up up up until just recently. I would like to believe that the price decreases that are happening will become a trend, but suspect it is only a momentary reprieve as a couple of the soy wax companies reorganize and restructure. I have also been wondering if the growing interest in biofuels will effect the soy market… I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I wonder if the cost of nasty paraffin candles are going up right now with the price of gas?

Anyway, on a good note again, I have been testing out different suppliers, and have found some really good deals lately, especially in larger quantities of essential oils. I’ve been able to crunch the numbers to see where I can bring down the costs of my products, and I can now offer the essential oil blends at the same price as the regular scents. If you are a regular user of the traditional fragrances and have not tried any of the essentials yet, now is a good time to do it!
