I have been a customer of Texas Natural Supply for over 10 years. I formulate and sell natural bath & body products. TNS has excellent quality products, reasonable prices, and good service. They also provide most products in a variety of sizes, from 1 oz up to 5 gallons, and increments in between. Being a small business, I often need to work with smaller quantities of products; TNS has been consistently providing excellent quality products in smaller sizes: 1 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 1 pound, etc. I have found this to be a rarity among cosmetic labs/wholesalers. The majority of companies offering bulk skin care products seem to have a minimum of 1 - 5 gallons of product. Furthermore, I have found only 2 other companies that provide natural skin care bulk bases with non toxic preservative systems. These companies however, do not have the variety of products preserved with a non toxic preservative system, like TNS does. My only “complaint,” is that the shipping costs seem rather high. However, they do offer 2 choices of shipping: FedEx, and USPS Priority, and depending on the weight of the order one of these shipping options is usually less expensive than the other. I did experience a similar situation as one of the reviewers on merchant circle experienced re. the shopping cart on TNS calculating my order incorrectly. I had removed an item from the shopping cart, and the cart did not subtract this cost. Fortunately, I have learned to calculate the cost of my order, and make sure it agrees with what the shopping cart says. What worked for me when TNS added up my order incorrectly, ($11.00 more than it should have been,) was I hit the “update” button again to refresh the page; this time the shopping cart had the correct amount. For whatever reason, the TNS shopping cart can be a little slow to update/recalculate the cart amount. When TNS started implementing the page of “make sure your order is correct/no refunds/make sure you check agree to all the boxes,” with their order process, I felt annoyed as this takes my valuable time, and as they say: time is money. However, at this point, I don’t take it personally, and just go thru the check boxes, then it’s done, I submit my order, and we are good to go. I think that TNS may have had some customer confusion in the past, so TNS staff are trying to protect themselves, and trying as best they can, to spell everything out clearly and completely for customers. As a long time business owner, I have learned: “You can’t over communicate.” I appreciate that I can either go to the live chat support or phone support when I need assistance. Sometimes, I think I am looking for the “perfect businesses,” to shop with. However, I am realizing that everybody is a human being, and not perfect, (like computers are supposed to be…) There are some businesses that I prefer to do business with over others, however TNS serves my business needs very well. ...read more

NOt a professional company and will give you real headache doing business with these people. Orders go into a blackhole and no follow up, no updates, no correspondence what so ever.

Whoever owns this out fit is one lazy, nasty individual. nilly Gustafson ...read more

If you are looking for a professional company to do your business, please find another one because this is not the one. These people are totally irresponsible and indifference toward their customers. You could be waiting for your orders for 10 days and receive no feed back, no response, no updates what so ever. We get stuff from Australia faster then these people response to their customers. Moreover, their stuff is inferior and low quality compare to other qualified sellers. So, if you want an headache go ahead and do business with them. Otherwise, choose one from many other real professional suppliers for exactly the same products. By Nilly Gustafson January 12, 2017 ...read more
Our need for magnesium has never been so great. Modern diet and pressured lifestyles have resulted in a drastically poor magnesium intake, significantly lower than anything experienced before. Intensive farming, processes foods and lifestyle changes have been a major factor in the last century and magnesium now represents the largest decline of all nutrients in our body. Thanks to research, it has come about that administering medication and supplements via the skin is very effective. Many companies that sell magnesium opt to sell transdermal magnesium cream for this reason. Members of the public are not all conscious of the power of applying supplements or medication in this way. Magnesium: Does our life depend on it? Often, medication and supplements that are taken orally do not get into the bloodstream in the quantities that are required. There are numerous reasons for this. Stomach acid is very powerful and often destroys much of the ingredients in the supplements or medicine. People do not realize that the concept of applying minerals tropically has been used for many tears as magnesium is found in the sea and people get magnesium in transdermal way. As the skin is very large, the magnesium is able to enter the body rapidly. Some people believe that this is a very powerful way for people to get what they need from the mineral. Psoriasis sufferers can benefit in a big way from transdermal magnesium cream. Those people suffer immensely from this condition and some of them to the extent that they are usually clothed from head to foot because they are so self conscious about this condition. Applying the mineral topically has allowed these people to experience tremendous results. Applying transdermal magnesium cream allows sufficient amounts of the mineral to be transported into the bloodstream without being hindered by stomach acids or the laxative effects. Magnesium has a positive effect on the immune system and has many other important benefits as well. It is also suitable for anyone to use. How to boost Magnesium level in our body? Often, magnesium taken as a dietary supplement in tablet form is not absorbed properly by the blood, and this vital mineral is passed out of the body and goes to waste. To get the benefits of magnesium in the system, it needs to be delivered in a form that gets into the bloodstream as quickly as possible. One option is to take magnesium in liquid form; another through transdermal magnesium cream. Taking this mineral via the skin allows it to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the human system, as it is needed for nearly everything that goes on at the cellular level: tissue repair, muscle movement, nerve responses, growth and more! Magnesium deficiency is quite common, and often manifests as tiredness, mood disorders, lack of energy, and loss of appetite. The symptoms of severe magnesium deficiency are potentially life-threatening, including heart failure. So, transdermal magnesium cream is an effective way to infuse magnesium into body. ...read more
