Hi

This is Katrina and I would like to introduce myself.
I have recently started out on my own finding it a bit tireing as I still work p/t but decided to take the plunge and go for it. I make lip balms, hand & foot balms,  moisturisers & body butters at the moment.
I am hoping to expand but its early days and im lucky the old mans very supportive, but the kids well they just moan. thats life cant have it all.
If any one is interested let me know. (in my products not the old man!!)
I am also looking for Plastic double welled jars at a good price currently paying £1.00 for a 50ml jar a tad too much.
if any one has any contacts that might be of help it would be greatly apprieciated.
oh yer my stuff is organic and fairly traded ect.
thanks for reading look forward to any replys.
katrina :-*

Hello Katrina,

Welcome to the forum.  People here are really helpful so I am sure someone will put you in touch with a good supplier of jars and packaging.

The balms sound just lovely  :buttrf:  We are a bit of a nosy lot so don't mention that you made something new without posting a pic or you probably won't hear the end of it  :mwaha:

Anyway, good to have you here and I hope you enjoy it  :)

Hello Katrina

wellcome here. Your product line sounds very interesting. It must have cost you a fortune to get all that certified ?

I know about the kids. Teenagers ?

Promise you can keep the old man, I have my own ;-)

How many jars do you order at any one time ? Or more like, what would be the maximum order you could do ? I have found a manufacturer in London who sells directly to the public, but minimum order is 10.000, which is way more than I ever hope to sell, use or burn...
