We are fast approaching Christmas and Soap & More would like to bring our valued customers up to date on new items and holiday closures.

Soap & More would like to remind everyone that as the Christmas season is a very busy time, please be courteous to other customers and place your large Saturday pick up orders by noon on Friday.

Soap & More will be closing for the holidays and yearly inventory on Dec.24^th and will reopen with regular store hours on Jan.4^th. In the New Year, we will resume shorter store hours on Saturdays 12pm to 4pm.

Soap & More realizes how  valuable your friends and family, and the environment are to you. As a result, we have brought in an organic coconut white melt and pour soap base. See our link for ingredients, product description and prices.

Were you aware that our organic oregano essential oil is therapeutic grade ! Naturally hosting 83% carvacrol it’s a great winter blues, cold and flu immune booster. Ask us how to use it at the store the next time you are in!  Oregano oil, with its high carvacrol content, is reputed to kill any bacteria lingering in a sore scratchy throat. Mix with the essential oil of Ravensara and apply to the bottom of your feet before bed. Wake up feeling rejuvenated and germ free!

We would like to introduce some new items to our already extensive packaging selection.

Soap & More is pleased to tell you about our new 4oz/120ml natural foamer bottles. We now carry an 8oz and 4oz version (120 ml) with black or white pump tops!

Another exciting new item we have brought in, a 50 ml amber glass jar with a smooth black lined cap , see our link for details. Amber glass is a much more cost-effective purchase than the cobalt blue glass jar we have in stock. This jar is great for healing salves and thick soothing creams. It also works great for aromatherapy candles!! Check them out today!!

We have a great announcement for all of our wholesale fragrance customers!

Check out our new flavours for your favourite lip balms. Try creating a red, white and green three pack, great for stocking stuffers. Here is a very simple recipe to make your own festive lip balm:  

Makes 1doz - 5ml lip balms

2.5 TB of any soft oil such as sweet almond, apricot kernel or olive oil

1.5 TB of beeswax pellets

1 tsp of any butter such as shea, mango or aloe

Instructions: 

-Combine all ingredients in a small pot and heat on med/low until ingredients are just melted. Do not allow to boil or burn. 

-Remove the mixture from heat and add, for starters, 1/2 tsp of your favourite flavor. All flavours vary and you may need to adjust the amount added based on the flavor selected. As our flavor oils are unsweetened, if you would like to sweeten your mixture, simply add a small amount of stevia powder and allow it to dissolve into the mixture. –We recommend stevia, a natural sweetener, over glycerine or honey, as they tend to cause separation and at times a sticky feel.

-Mix one last time before pouring into your lip balm tubes to ensure that everything has been fully incorporated. As the lip tubes are not the same temperature as the melted balm you may get a small hole, similar to a funnel effect, at the top of the lip balm once it has cooled and hardened. Warming the empty balm sticks in hot tap water for a few minutes can eliminate this. Make sure to they are dry when the balm is poured into them as oil and water do not mix. Try towel drying and then use your hair dryer to completely dry. 

-You can color your lip balms by adding a small amount of pigment or oxide to the flavour oil. 1/4 tsp or less should do it.

Blue Razzberry is a fun funky flavor that kids and adults will like.  Wild raspberry mixed with various fruit tastes make up this awesome blend!

We would like to ask any of our customers who make natural bodycare products out of their home and sell commercially who have Insurance to let us know what insurance company out there provides this insurance at a reasonable cost.  Due to several requests from our customers (our insurance is for a storefront business) we would like to pass this information on. 

 

At the holiday season, our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have made our success possible. It is in this spirit we say ... thank you and best wishes for the holidays and a happy new year!

  

Sincerely, The Soap & More Team
