Hi!Here's a rundown of the latest happenings here at JBABS!Soap formula improved --- Beginning now we are reformulating our soap to use more natural ingredients. It will be better soap for better skin! :) Those of you who have been with us since the beginning will recognize the new formulation. It's what we originally started with! Yep, we tried different formulations, but after years of working with the soap we've decided that the original formula is the best for most of the things we strive for. Better lather, harder and longer-lasting bar, scent retention is great, and the ingredients are eco-friendly and 100% natural. The new soap may get a bit more "glycerin-dew", but it's a lot better for your skin and that's what counts! Changes will be introduced next week and ingredient lists will be updated ASAP. Some of the bulk prices may be updated as well since this soap will be just a bit more costly for us to make. Fragrance Oils for use in crafting -- Next is the Fragrance Oils & Supplies category. We've begun to stock fragrances for use in manufacturing products..this allows other crafters to enjoy them at a decent discount since we're able to buy in bulk and pass some of the savings on to the customer. Reviews are encouraged for fragrances oils - and everything else for that matter - so please be sure to leave a review if you try them out (Good or bad, we can take it!! It's how we do better!)Processing Times --- The holiday shopping season is here..we have begun to see increased custom orders so we'll also be updating the processing time to 2 weeks. This is for anything that has to be made to order..custom soap, lotion, wax tarts, etc. This means that from the time your order is paid it may take us 2 weeks to get it made, cured, and then shipped to you so please plan ahead or contact us if you have a specific event date.In-Stock Orders ship faster! --- Many of our soaps and tarts can be purchased from what we have in stock and shipped right away. We are creating a sub-category under the soap category called "In Stock & Ready to Ship Now". This will show you all the bars that can be shipped ASAP. A listing for wax tarts will also be created and will be called a Wax Tart Grab Bag. It will include a variety of scents from what we have already made. This is a really good way to try out new scents that you might not normally try. And it's a great gift bag for your friends & family that use them!Email Newsletter -- OK, yes, we aren't great at sending these newsletters out regularly, but we promise to try and do better! This blog post will likely end up in a newsletter so that everyone can get the news. :)Questions? Simply send us a message through our Contact Form or send us an email!~Alissa
