We are happy to mix the powders and provide them to you ready to go, but when it comes to liquid products which are mostly water it is much more sustainable and economical to fill those yourself. In addition, most commercial liquid cleaning product usually requires preservatives. If you make it at use it within a few months you can skip the preservatives and the extra unknown mystery chemicals that come with it as you don't need to cater for years of shelf life and storage in the various chains of the supply process. 

On the 10 piece glassware set that you will use around the home all the labels are waterproof but not suitable for the dishwasher. 

The ingredients come with a mixture of waterproof and paper labels - we try avoid the vinyl when it makes sense. 

All the powder ingredients have slightly different weights and consistencies - for example the coconut soap is very light and with larger particles. This means approx 400g is required to fill the jar.  Bicarb, Washing Soda etc are finer yet more dense, so approx 750g will fill the jar.  There is a breakdown of the weights in the book that comes with this kit and don't worry, its all factored into the recipes.
