Hello all.
I just thought I'd bring you up to date on some upcoming products and Collections:
So as you probably know I've been working on a number of different products which include, Shave Soaps, Skin Food splashes, Skin Food lotions, Pre Shave and Post Shave products. Also an additive ( Ice Dragon ) so I thought it was time to post up a thread about the newest Collection and this way I can add info on how the products are coming along as far as whether they are still in the development stage, ready for sending out test samples or are ready for release.
The first thing I want to first bring up is a new Collection that I'm very excited about and it is named the " Custom Collection " and by the name I guess you can probably figure out that I'll be doing custom work in this collection. So as some of you may know I've been working on 2 Post Shave serums. One is the Replenish Hyaluronic acid serum which is almost completed and I'm just waiting on a new ingredients I've decided to add to it which will make it even better than it would have been. Also as some of you already know I'll be using Organic Aromatic Hydrosols for customizing the scent of the Replenish serum. In case some of you are wondering why use Aromatic Hydrosols to scent the products well it's a simple answer. The Replenish is a water based product so I can't use Essential oils or even fragrance oils in as you know water and oil just don't mix unless I used an solubilizer or emulsifiers to blend the two it's pretty much impossible and I want to keep this formula as natural as possible so I can use the Aromatic Hydrosols to change the scent. BTW some folks call some of these Floral water and Rose Floral water is one you may have heard of. I used Cucumber Hydrosols in the Testers I sent out but that's just one of a few I'll be offering and I'll probably add more down the road so you will have several to choose from. The Replenish will be in the new Custom Collection rather than the Pure as I originally intended as it makes more sense. Of course the serum starts out as unscented so you have the option to buy it that way or add a scent you pick out of the available Aromatic Hydrosols.
Next in line is the oil based serum and I decided to call it " Remède “ Revitalizing Face Serum. It to will come unscented and the only scent that you'd get from it comes from the natural oils that are in them. I also made a decision based on testing the one serum. I'm going to be offering 3 different serum formulas. Dry to normal skin, Sensitive/irritated Skin, Naturally Oily Skin and I'll probably add one for Blemish prone skin types later down the road. With that said. All will have the same label and I will have hang tags or stickers to distinguish one from the other. This will keep costs down as far as labels go. As far as adding a custom scent. I will start out with a few. In this case I can use Essential oils, Wood oils, Resins or Aroma chemicals. I don't like using Candle making fragrance oils in my products to be honest as I just don't feel good about using them. I know that I'll be offering the Pineapple Noir, Lavender Supreme, a blend of East Indian Sandalwood, Bergamot and Sweet Orange oil, The Agrume Grapefruit EO blend and the Dragonsbeard scent once it's been released. I can also take special aroma requests which I will address with the individual person. The price of each serum will be the same in the unscented version and an additional charge will be added depending on which scent is picked out as some aromas cost more than others and as I've said before I'd like to offer honest pricing based on what's in the bottle or jar based on the ingredients and aromas.
I will have some more updates on this collection in this thread and there will also be info on the website once it's up and the products are released.
Thank you for all your support.
