A WORD ABOUT PATCHOULI

Filed under: Handmade Soaps, Natural Skin and Body Care Products — Robin @ 9:11 pm

Some of you have noticed that our handmade soap collection is missing our very popular Patchouli Soap.  Back in October, Patchouli essential oil spiked in price.  What normally sells for $30.00 to $40.00 a pound shot up to $187.00 a pound.   Now this is really bad because Patchouli essential oil is just as versatile as Lavender essential oil.  Not only is it good straight up but it is a must for blending with other essential oils.  Unfortunately, $187.00 a pound Patchouli oil would make for $12.00 a bar of soap!  So I pulled it temporarily until the price has stabilized.  As of this week, pricing is down between $129.00 and $97.00 a pound.  Word on the street is that we should see another drop in price by October.   When it comes down a wee bit more then I will bring the Patchouli soap back online.
