Be sure and verify the type before purchasing. I have bought from ***AZURE STANDARD $26.35/gallon-also available in smaller sizes http://www.azurestandard.com/products/index.php?search=1&txtKeyWords=glycerin ***FROM NATURE WITH LOVE $20.00/gallon-also available in smaller sizes http://www.fromnaturewithlove.com/ (their's is not Food Grade, from what I understand) ***BOTANICAL.com $29.00/gallon-also available in 16 oz. size http://www.botanical.com/products/supply/ingred.html ******I do not have any negative feedback for any of these companies. I usually just buy my glycerin from whichever company I am ordering herbs or other supplies from. I like all of these companies. I have never paid more than $25/gallon. When I bought from Azure Standard, the price at check-out was actually $18. That was great because it is the shipping that gets you---it's heavy! NATURAL BEAUTY PRODUCTS I found a great book with recipes for natural facial steams, scrubs, toners, moisturizers, cleansers, masks, shampoos, etc. It calls for various essential oils, herbs, and other such products. I got my copy from Amazon for less than $4!!! The Herbal Body Book (A Natural Approach To Healthier Hair, Skin, and Nails) by Stephanie Tourles **** ALSO, you might check out http://www.shoshannagardens.com/ for "Monthly Pampering" recipes using all natural ingredients. ***Glycerin

You want to manufacture your own soaps I have the following advice: Natural beeswax has become a most popular, but I like the idea of using glycerine chips but they're more difficult to search for seller of.
