Buying Wholesale & Custom Organic Soap

By Carolyn Miller


Soap is a necessity for all of us. However, some soaps are truly luxury items. If you hold a hand-cut bar made with natural ingredients and scented with pure essential oils, you will know the difference. Wholesale & custom organic soap is available for those businesses that want to provide their clients or customers with the very best.

Anyone with a business license and a tax identification number can buy wholesale. This simply means buying directly from manufacturers or distributors to eliminate the additional costs retailers add to the products they sell. Governments charge tax on retail sales; companies that buy goods for resale don't have to pay sales taxes like private consumers do. They collect the taxes due the government when they resell items to the public.

But what if the buyer is not a retailer? A B&B, for instance, can buy goods for the use of its guests without paying either retail prices or taxes. The taxes will be added onto the customer's bill, in this case, in the form of hospitality taxes. Things like soaps, shampoos, and body lotions provided for guest use come under the category of 'the cost of doing business.'

The business that saves money by buying wholesale (directly from the source) may also have access to another benefit. Body care products and other 'goodies' that come with a room can be customized. This usually means that the manufacturer will print a label that is exclusively for the outlet. A restaurant might like to have its very own soaps in the restrooms, for instance. This adds a touch of class to what otherwise is a mundane object.

Bar soaps are popular for bathing, but there are also liquid hand soaps and foaming cleansers. Any kind of body care can be customized for those who want to pay a premium. Private labels are a nice touch for any venue that prides itself on guest service and is proud of its brand.

'Organic' means made with all-natural ingredients that come from organic farms or have been wild-crafted, so there has been no use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Now it's necessary to look for 100% organic products, since the regulations require only 70% of the ingredients to be certified. It pays to investigate your suppliers carefully, to make sure they are not cutting corners on both consumer safety and quality.

The best manufacturers take this label seriously, making sure that their oils are organically grown, and that the farms follow sustainable agricultural practices. Fair trade organizations also make sure that the ones who actually grown the ingredients are able to make a living from their crops. Since many oils used to make soaps come from third-world countries, this is important. It is also a good advertising claim for those who do have their own private label on the things they provide for their guests.

If you are interested in having your very own 'brand' of soaps, check out the manufacturers of organic body care who have a good reputation in the industry and can provide assurance of quality as well as concern for sustainable agriculture. This way, you can promote your business and pamper your guests with high quality products while saving money by buying wholesale.
