"Try Sunburst Bottle Company in Sacramento or Specialty Bottle. They're both reliable and have lots of choices. I'd use plastic for baby products."

- Answering about chamomile essential oil and it effects: I just read my Aromatherapy Today and chamomile essential oil was the featured essential oil. There is an exceptional article about a 16 month old girl and a rash all over her body and chamomile essential oil worked to clear the rash. It includes detailed information and photos after the product was applied containing chamomile essential oil. If you want information about where to get Aromatherapy Today, let me know.

IBN Member Sherri Willson said… - Hi there !!!!
Lets see - there are a few things that need to be sorted out before I can answer you completely.
What size/shape/type labels would your project need?
Would you provide the labels or just the artwork?
If you need the labels too - then it will depend on if I have that particular size/shape/type in stock.. If I don't, I would have to make a special purchase. That will affect the pricing.
What kind of quantity are we looking at? How many different labels for how many different products. I am just trying to get a feel for how many sheets you will need printed, and how many of each size/shape/type will be needed.
I think that's it for now. I look forward to hearing back from you. You can also contact me directly at sherri@designerlabelgal.com
