Shay Collective Newsletters

Shay and Company now Global!!

Well, ish. We are dipping our toes into international shipping for orders through the website. It is a whole different world for the paperwork side, so please be patient with us as we grow into this. DHL rates are up and if you are a Canada customer of ours, you will love these compared to UPS!

Back in stock- some favorites are back in.

Candelilla Wax– we have the best on the market and we have lots in stock! This candelilla wax flies off the shelf and we love that it works so well for you.

Organic Grape Seed Oil– beautiful, clean, green organic grape seed oil.

Cetyl Alcohol Beads RSPO– another fan favorite, these are back and in plentitude

Kokum Butter– Shay makers have been gobbling this up since the massive price increase in cocoa butter and the disappearance of shea butter.

Deodorized Cocoa Butter Blocks– these are not organic but they are super high quality cocoa butter. Beautiful texture and all the antioxidant benefits. We offer this in both deodorized and natural, blocks and chunks (we chunk it up for you in the smaller sizes).

Updates on some out of stock items-

Virgin Shea Butter and conventional refined shea- We have loads of the organic refined shea in stock, but I know it is a little more expensive. Virgin shea and conventional refined shea that are both Fair Trade probably won’t be back in stock until September sometimes. Economic issues and environmental issues have affected the production of Fair Trade shea. This is also a great time for you test try out Nilotica Shea. Nilotica shea is creamy and smooth, with a fabulous skin-feel. It is not hard like Ghana shea but has all the skin properties.

SCI Powder- I know, everyone loves the powder and no one wants to grind down the needles. I get it. So does P&G, that is why they purchased all the SCI powder available in the US. We have loads of the needles, and you can grind them down to make the powder. We have four pallets of SCI powder on the docket to arrive sometime in June but no ETA as they are coming from overseas.  We will send out a newsletter when it comes back, but until then please try the SCI Needles. It is a wild world when it comes to raw materials right now.

SLSA Fine Powder- another raw material that we have had on order since January. There is one manufacturer and apparently this is not a priority product for them. Newest ETA is June 2nd, but this is the third time it has been pushed out. We do have SLSA Coarse and SLSA Flakes that you can use in the meantime. The SLSA Flakes are actually a super cool ingredient for making liquid soap and making giant bubbles. SLSA Flakes also shouldn’t be called flakes, as they are not flakes. They should be called big powder as that is the texture.
