The shea is 3 oz and im going to try $7.00 cause checking prices some people are even getting more. Its very hard to price.I thought this is good considering the shea, oils, jars,and all the other things cost to do it.

Lin...what FO are you using if any? I tried Warm Vanilla Sugar and I could still smell the "nuttiness" of the Shea.

I used freesia this time but it dosent take away that shea smell, your right. Just kind of cuts it a little so its not so bad. Maybe one of our experts can give some advice.

You guys should try Relaxing fo from WSP!  Man, that stuff is awesome in Shea!  I've sold about 10 4oz jars of it so far.  I probably should be charging more $7.00 for 4 oz.
 
Lin, I love your packaging.  I've been working on that all weekend.  Finally got my band for pillars and the label for the jars so I'm ready to ROCK-N-ROLL!!!

I was thinking of charging 8.95 for my 4 oz. jar of whipped shea, which is really only 2 oz. of product.  I get 5 4oz. jars from 10 oz. of oils and butter.  I haven't put it out for sale yet, but I figured that's a decent price for the ingredients that I have in it.  I only scent mine with EO, trying to keep it "all natural", LOL.

Sad I might have done that if I deleted the wrong thing, but it was here a second ago, I saw it after I moved it... Do you still have it so you can repost it?
