Why the sudden pricing increase?

You’re likely shocked. We understand completely. One of the ingredients we use in our products is orange peel oil (Citrus Solvent). This is derived from natural sources – which means mother nature can affect how much is available at any given time. From blights to hurricanes, crops that produce orange peel oil were recently knocked out at a large scale decreasing the yield of the harvest. This means the supply has become increasingly scarce – making orange peel oil costs go up significantly.

Unfortunately, we’ve had to raise our prices on the following products; Half & Half, Dark Half, and Citrus Solvent. We are working on a more economical and still natural alternative in haste!

We’re committed to providing you with fair pricing and have held off raising our prices for as long as possible. Rest assured, once the supply of orange peel oil increases and the cost comes down, so will our pricing. Thanks for your understanding!
