Hello Cadre
I just wanted to share with you a new Collection and the first Shave Soap & Skin Food Splash that’s going into what I’m calling the “ Chill Collection “ and the reason I called it that is the products in the collection are just that. Products that give a natural cool feeling to your shave without adding Menthol crystals or food grade cooling ingredients such as WS 5 for example. The products have essential oils that give that nice little chill on their own.
Since my graphic designer Monica and I finished the first label yesterday I thought I’d post it up and talk a little about it.
As you can see by the label it’s a Peppermint Shave soap plain and simple and that’s all it has in it is Peppermint Essential oil scent wise. Also for those that might not know this Peppermint oil naturally contains about 30% Menthol so it does leave you with a nice invigorating chilled feeling but not ice cold! I made this Shave soap for somewhat of a personal reason or I guess you could call it selfish reasons lol .. you see I’ve been a fan of AOS Peppermint Shave Creme since it came out a few years ago and with the tag “ Limited Edition “ attached to it when I see it advertised it honestly made me nervous to think I couldn’t get it one day so I decided to make my own. Only mines a soap not a cream. Had no desire to add any other notes but instead to just use Peppermint EO and nothing else.
I also made another Shave soap that will go in the Chill Collection and as soon as the label is finished I’ll post that up which could be either later today or tomorrow. Depends on when Monica has time to finish it as I picked out the colors when we worked together on this label yesterday.
So as some of you may notice there is no World Globe on the label and I’ve also made a decision to only use the globe on the Culturally inspired collections that are related to different countries like the Lisse Collection, Aja Collection and the soon to be released Afrika Collection. So for example next time I have to make labels for the Niche Boutique Collection the labels will be just plain without the globe in the background. The Succes label is an example of that. I’ll admit I’ve been going back and forth on this idea but Monica thought its a good idea because not all colors like this Red Peppermint label looks good with a gradient effect which I have to agree on as I didn’t like it when we tried it as the areas looked Pink. So I’m pretty good with the idea of using plain labels in some Collections and would love to hear feedback from the members on the idea. Oh and specifically your thoughts on the Niche Boutique Collection as that one I’ve been overthinking about it and going back and forth on so if you think I should just leave it as it is or make the change to plain labels. I’d really appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks Cadre!
