For the first time since I opened Hilltops Soaps almost 6 years ago (!), I am raising my soap prices. Just a smidge. When I began, less than half of my oils were certified organic. Now, every carrier oil, butter, wax and essential oil I use is certified organic. (pomace olive, coconut, shea butter, castor oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter). With an increase in quality of the oils, my expense goes up. Not to mention shipping costs to get the supplies continues to rise.
I thought long and hard about raising my prices. From a business perspective I should have done it last year, but living where I do, it's hard to ask people to give any more. Our Hilltop home is located a few miles outside Flint, MI. The folks here work hard to make ends meet (and sometimes, just barely). I understand and want to keep my products affordable for the folks who live and work in our community.
Soaps (for local, in-person sales)
Rising from $4 each and 3/$10 to the NEW PRICE OF $5 each or 3/$12
Whole batch is rising from $35 to $50
**website prices are slightly higher to reflect the cost of shipping. If the difference in shipping is in your favor for greater than $1, I will refund the difference. Most often, I pay more to ship orders than I charge.**
Thank you for sticking with me. You, my customers, are better than I deserve.
