-We will review your application and if accepted, we will create your account shortly. We do not activate accounts located in certain regions since we already have distributors in those areas. You must be located outside a 50 mile radius from our store here in Lamar, AR, or your account will not be activated.

- SAMPLES:

If you would like to try samples first, those may be purchased from our retail sites:

www.mineralbasics.com

or

www.yesterdaysbasics.com

You do NOT have to meet the $100 minimum purchase order requirement there, since you are only making a retail purchase. You may purchase as many or as few samples as you like before coming back to make your wholesale purchase on the wholesale site:

http://wholesale.mineralbasics.com

If you wish to try out our brushes, micro-polish cloth, etc, you may get those on the retail site as well.

- ACCOUNTS:

Please note once you sign up for an account on either of the RETAIL sites, you are automatically signed up on the other RETAIL site. You do not have to wait for activation to purchase from the retail sites. You may sign up for an account and begin purchasing samples immediately. Please note passwords for all sites are case-sensitive.

However, the wholesale site is different. You need a separate account for the wholesale site. You will receive your activation/login info usually within 24 hours. If you have not received an email with your username and password within 48 hours, please try again, or email us at: info@mineralbasics.com

Please note passwords for all sites are case-sensitive.

MINIMUMS:

We have a $100 minimum purchase order for all wholesale orders. The shopping cart will not allow you to checkout if you do not have at least $100 in your cart.

- PROFIT POTENTIAL:

The most economical method is to purchase powders by the pound. As an example, a pound of foundation is $105. You will have approximately $2 in a full size jar of foundation (30 g jar, which only holds 10 g powder by weight). You will have around $1.20 in the jar, plus labels & shrink wraps which will cost at most .10 in total. So you will have $3.30 in your jar of foundation and can retail it for anywhere from $15 up to $25 or more. After selling only a few jars you will have made back the $105 you spent on the pound of foundation and will still have most of it left.

- PRICING: You will be able to see pricing once you log in to your account on the wholesale site.

Our bulk mineral powders range from $75 a pound to $105 per pound.
