Buying Wholesale & Custom Organic Soap

By Carolyn Miller


We all use soap. This necessity can also be a luxury when it is made of pure vegetable, nut, or tree oils and scented with fragrant essential oils. Fine soaps have a special cachet that businesses can use to increase their bottom line or enhance their prestige. Finding wholesale & custom organic soap is one way to save money or to promote a brand.

To buy wholesale - without the retail mark-up imposed by a store - you need to be in business for yourself. You need a tax identification number and a business license issued by your state or local government. This means that most products go to retailers who plan to resell them at a larger price, in order to make a profit. And, of course, to pay for rent on a storefront, electricity, and wages for the proprietor and/or employees. The cost of the product is one of the 'costs of doing business.'

Others can also buy wholesale. Take a B&B, for instance. This is a legitimate business, and every bar of soap bought for guest use is a tax-deductible expense. In this case, the bar will probably not be sold to the guests but merely provided for their use. Hotels, motels, inns, and restaurants can also purchase items specifically for use by their patrons.

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.

The 'organic' certification means that the manufacturer of a product has used natural and organically grown ingredients, at least to the limit required by law. Some products are 100% organically sourced, but the law only requires 70% or more of clean, all-natural ingredients. People who want organic products need to know their suppliers to be sure of getting the purity and quality they pay for.

Buying the best for your custom label means choosing your supplier carefully. There are many businesses, both large and small, that take consumer health seriously and provide clean, natural products. Since the source materials for soaps - vegetable, nut, and tree oils - often come from third-world countries, it's good to look for the 'Fair Trade' seal, too. This means that raw materials come from organizations that protect the interests of the people who grow or gather them. The organization makes sure the farmers get their fair share of the profits.

Soaps made from carefully-sourced, organically-grown plants, with no harsh chemical ingredients or cheap fragrances, are worthy of a private label. Buying wholesale means that you will save money while supporting manufacturers who care about the environment, their customers, and those they buy their ingredients from.
