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.

Any business may be able to buy direct, as long as they can furnish the tax ID number. For example, the owners of a B&B can buy soaps and other goods they use for their guests directly from manufacturers. Even though they may not resell the item, they can count the purchase as a deductible expense. The same goes for hotels, motels, and restaurants that provide handsoap and towels for their patrons.

If a business wants to set itself apart, it may want 'private label' soaps for its guests. The manufacturer of the product simply uses a custom design for the wrapper of a bar that promotes the B&B or other service provider. In some cases, the maker might create a special kind of product especially for one customer; this product will be exclusive to the customer and available to no one else.

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.

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.

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.
