Mattyj198 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I make my own soaps and cosmetic products here in Canada and I was thinking maybe I could start doing that while I was in France but I am having a hard time finding suppliers for the raw materials. Does anyone know any sites that are in France that sell these products?Thanks a bunch guys!Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiwaxy Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Sorry Matty I got the wrong end of the stick. I thought you were looking to source the required chemicals. Apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 All for decent products but do these affect septic tanks etc for those people who have that system of drainage? Just wondered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwmcn Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Matt, Some of that stuff is on a dropdown list of ingredients in the Soap Calculator part of the link I previously posted. For some reason, I could only get as far as the letter 'b'.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyj198 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yes I noticed that too. Thank you for the link. If I am going to build a business in France I think I might want to find a more reliable source for products though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
