Thanks for that update Ryan.

Sounds like a good decision to go the in house sales only route. I generally prefer to buy artisan direct for that reason anyway, when possible.
Your shipping rates to Europe have always been very good, and that was a huge factor in my going T+S when I first wanted to try an artisan soap.

A big part of buying from an artisan, for me at least, is the personal touch and the sense of supporting someone to freely make something you believe in. This new set up sounds like it will further allow that, so it's something to look forward to!

Can't wait to see the video tomorrow!

Great news. For me, especially the part for the international shipping. Wish you best of luck in the future.

Side note.... Damn those retails have some high margins....

Excellent points about the cost of essential oils. For example, in three months the price of a Haitian vetiver I like jumped from $25.00 per 1oz to $42.00!

I have a wife and coworker that hate patchouli and I rank YRP as a top 3 scent. So, I'll need to read one heckuva description of the scent vibe or wait for reviews and ask. I mean these two are ninjas when it comes to smelling patchouli so buying more soap with that scent doesn't make sense if I can only wear it on the weekends.

I hear you. Now, % doesn't tell the whole story, as some oils are much stronger than others, but it will give a person a pretty good idea about the scent anyway.

Thanks gents! Stopping wholesaling was not an easy decision for us so I really appreciate all the support. Friday will be the launch, and the products will be revealed on here and instagram over the next few days.

Yeah it's getting crazy, $400-$500 USD per kg on average.

Thank you! Look for the scent we are announcing on Wed/Thurs. It’s similar to Classic in that it is citrus/slightly herbal.

Thanks! I think the LE is my favourite scent we’ve ever done.

Haha..  so true.   I mean.. no. You NEED them. You always need them!


It's never going to stop me just sell other stuff, buy new stuff, rinse and repeat.

Oh I think I know one of those experiment scents never to be released. That was gonna be an expensive one.
