French Market Botanicals was originally established in 1999 under the name Sonsa Rae Skincare. We started with Body Butter and added the rest one product at a time. Most of our line is made to order with the exception of soap and perfume plus lip balm, lotion bars, candles and bath salts.
Please e-mail your order to raesonsa@gmail.com. We then create an invoice in PayPal with the appropriate amount of shipping added to the total product order. If you have any questions about ingredients or availability please use the contact form and we will respond within one business day.
At the end of each week we see how much we need to make of each product, based on the orders that came in that week, and we ship on the following Monday. This way, your order isn't in transit over a long weekend. Some products can't be shipped during the hottest summer months (e.g. Body Butter and Dream Cream). If you order one of these products during this period of time, we will let you know BEFORE we invoice your order - not after. If you live in Southport NC, we can make arrangements to drop it off (or for you to pick it up) but shipping it doesn't work.
A single bar of soap (plus a lip balm) can be shipped in a padded envelope for $3.50, not including tracking or insurance. If this is all you need, we can pop this in the mail any day of the week (Mon-Fri). Larger orders, made-to-order products, and custom orders are all shipped on Monday.
The 'small' flat rate Priority Mail box via USPS (8-5/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-5/8") holds 3 bars of soap or 2 bars and small items such as lip balm or perfume. The cost is $7.90, which includes tracking and insurance. The 'medium' size flat rate Priority Mail box (11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2") holds taller bottles and/or jars. The cost is $14.35, which also includes tracking and insurance. If your order is too large for the 'small' box and too small for the 'medium' box, we will ship it in an appropriate size box and the cost will be based on weight and postal zone, which is typically less expensive.
Custom blends of soap are available in 2.5 pound loaves (eight bars) as are 1.5 oz guest size bars for B&B's (with a minimum order of 3 dozen bars). Please allow four weeks for your custom soap order, which is the length of time it takes the soap to cure. Custom gift sets are also available.
Thank you so much for making French Market Botanicals part of your life. It makes us incredibly happy to see satisfied clients ordering year after year. Some of our clients have been with us from the very beginning and we hope they continue with us to the very end, whenever that is.
