Great packaging and fast shipping!! Can't wait to create something fabulous. Thanks
the product is great.
I looked for cetyl alcohol from several big soap supply companies, and none had it. This was my first purchase from Makeyourown, and it won't be my last! Product arrived in a timely manner. I was so excited to get my cetyl alcohol because I was given a lotion in a soap swap, and I loved the lotion so much the gal who gave it to me was nice enough to give me the recipe! I made lotion the same day I got the cetyl alcohol, and it makes the most perfect lotion!! Glad I got 5 lbs of this stuff!! Please don't stop selling this product, it's not an easy product to find!!!
