Hi Everyone,Would like to throw this out to the group at large:I recently cold called a retailer that I thought was a 'match' for my products. The buyer agreed and then requested that I send a MSDS for each sample product.Is this an unusual request? Are MSDS sheets created for 'made' products? I thought they were for raw materials only.Looking forward to hearing any advice on the subject.Thank you!MerilynSee More

Sorry to hear you moved out of NYC but I do understand about not having the space to make soap. I gave up my bedroom so I can have a Soap Studio!

Hi Merilyn,
I was wondering if you would be interested in attending a NYC Soap Swap. I am planning it for Feb 27th and so far we have 8 ladies and 2 vendors who will be donating goodies. If you friend me on Facebook, melissa.rivera1, then I can send you the invite. Hope you can make it.

Check the Herbal Bear. She teaches a class in NYC in her home. She is great and I enjoyed my time with her.
PS I don't mind getting together at some point.
