Hello and welcome! Due to volume and the whole two hands thing, current turn around is about a week, excluding Sundays and holidays. If you don't see your favorite scent here, let me know! If it's still part of my current line I'll make up a batch and list it.
Keep up with my happenings by following me on twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/longwinterfarm and liking my fan page on facebook: http://facebook.com/longwinterfarmsoapco
I live in Maine, which is in the Eastern US (GMT -5hrs) time zone. I'm not nocturnal (almost, but not completely) and I have small children, so if you need something at 2am EST, please don't be surprised if I don't resolve it until 5-10 hours later depending on my mommy schedule. I also tend not to answer convos on Sundays, as I've promised my daughters I'd take 15% of the attention I give to you people and give it to them instead. Thanks for being respectful of my family time.

A note on lip balm flavor oils: They're not supposed to make the lip balm taste like anything, they're just lip-safe versions of fragrance oils. If you ever taste anything from a lip balm, it's because it's sweetened, not flavored! And I don't add sweetener to my balms. If you'd really like to taste something, though, try my citrus, lavender, mint, or anise-flavored balms made with essential oils. Like I've said in every last lip balm listing, your balm will smell a bit like cocoa and honey in addition to whatever flavor you choose because it has unrefined cocoa butter and beeswax in it. Cocoa butter and beeswax smell like cocoa and honey.
And on fragrance oils: Fragrance oils by definition are synthetic. Either totally synthetic or blends of synthetic and natural. If you are sensitive to synthetic fragrance, don't assume from my kraft paper aesthetic that my fragrances won't set you off. They are fragrances. Say it with me. Sensitive to fragrance? Don't buy fragrance. Instead shoot me a convo and ask about the natural stuff! :)
Thanks for stopping by!

ps Just for fun... I don't sell Chapsticks. Chapstick, the company, sells Chapsticks. Just like Hoover sells Hoovers, Kleenex sells Kleenexes, and yes, Dumpster should be capitalized as a trademarked word for trash receptacle as coined by the company, Dumpster. It's sorta like referring to your mom's cookies as Oreos. And that's just nonsense. K, done ranting. You're pretty.
