lindsaycb Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 What kinds of prices do you get for a 4oz bottle of the cyclo body spray?I'm going to go with straight cyclo & fo, but I'm just curious what people will pay for it? $5-6 is that too little? This stuff feels incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff feels incredible.Not all FO's will mix with just Cyclo, if they don't then reduce the amount of Cyclo and add FCO, this helps stubborn FO's mix and stay clear.I sell a 4oz body spray for $6.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I was liking the idea of FCO too. THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I made some with FCO and I like it, plus you aren't using so much cyclo!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepsimama Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I sell the cyclo + FO in the little 8ml spray tubes from Qosmedix. I sell them for $10 each. $6 for a 4oz bottle seems very underpriced to me but I guess a lot depends on your customers, your location, presentation, marketing angle, etc...

ladysj Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 On your body sprays do you use the ratio that was in the information you posted or another ratio? I have some cyclo and FCO coming in today and I can't wait to make this. I've had people at work asking for an after shower spray and I think this will just fit the bill.

ladysj Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 The Fedex guy just dropped off my Cyclo I rubbed a little of it on my arm and I LOVE IT!!! It feels soooooooooo silky smooth. For those of you that use the straight cyclo do you charge more for the 4 ounce bottle or with the FCO would it still be considered a dry body spray?I am going to take a sample bottle to work and just wonder which way would be best to present it to them.

Try a little FCO on your skin, you will see it is a dry oil. As I stated above FCO is great to add for those stubborn FO's that wont blend with just cyclo. I don't just use the FCO for stubborn FO's I use it in all my body sprays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 i love cyclo. can bearly keep it in stock. i orginially used the 70/30 formula, but found it to be too oily for my taste. so i now add one capful of AKO to 4 oz of cylco and fragrance to taste. HTHCrafty, what does the AKO add to the product at this level? Does it make it nicer somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Has anyone tried Silkbase? I have used it with much success, the FO just mixes with it without even shaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up, that ingredent name is the cemical name for Cyclomethicone the INCI name is Cyclomethicone. This is from that site INCI Name: Cyclomethicone (Cyclopentasiloxane & Cyclohexasiloxane)http://www.clearcoproducts.com/cyclomethicones.htmlI did find there are different types of silicones (cyclomethicones) and different grades.There Liquid Silk @ $6.75 per Lb ="s $47.25 per gallon. You can get Cyclo @ BCS & BCN for $40.25 per gallon or $5.75 per LB by the gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Yep, thats the one. But I wonder however if the different grades are the reason why some oils dissolve in some, and others dont. What price would you offer an 8 ounce for? I am still working on my pricing and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What price would you offer an 8 ounce for? I am still working on my pricing and such.I sell my 8oz Body Spray for $10.00. I order at least 200 LB's at a time of cyclo, that way I get the UPS hundered weight discount, so I save on shipping and my end cost for the cyclo is cheaper.I'm sure, for this quality of body spray, you could get $12.00 or more for an 8oz size.

Where do you get 200 pounds from?I buy mine by the gallon I just order 200 LB's or more to get UPS hundred weight shipping (UPS shipping over 200 LB's is cheaper) that way I get cheaper shipping.
