THISTLEWOOD MANOR SOAP

A New Direction

Everyone has noticed how prices on everything have risen; and it has affected myself and my small business as well.  Costs keep rising; but I haven't changed my prices in several years.  I've added other products too, but soap continues to be my best seller.  I've decided I need to make a few changes.

The first change is that I am discontinuing beard products.  The cost of the specialty oils I use has sky rocketed and sales this past year have been poor.  Not sure why that is; but I just can't afford to make and sell them any more.

I added lotion bars this year and I do plan to continue selling them.  Currently I make oatmeal & honey, lavender, unscented, and Bug Off in summer.  I'll be getting them on the website.

Will I be raising prices?  Unfortunately, yes.  Regular hand soap will stay at $6 a bar and shampoo soaps will be $7 a bar.  I may be able to run specials when I find discounts on my supplies; but I can't promise it.

I plan to focus on primarily making good, quality, old fashioned lye soaps in as many fragrances and scents as I can.  I hope to see  you all soon and thank you for your support!

    I started making soap about 10 years ago, and began selling 7 years ago after perfecting my recipes.  This is where I will share extra information and ideas.
