Testamonials From Our Friends

Just had to share what one customer stated about our body wash made with Aloe and Ginger. We'd love to hear from you.

 

 

"Hi Sonya!

I wanted to make sure I posted this on your wall for all to see...your Aloe & Ginger Liquid Soap is awesome! I bought it to try an get control of my adult acne that was becoming painful, especially on my jawline, and it worked better than I could have imagined! Not only did it get control of the acne I already had, but it essentially reversed it leaving no trace of acne behind on my face! I will say that I use a scrub to get my makeup off and to help clear dead skin and open my pores before using your Aloe & Ginger, but I know it's your soap that made the difference because I had no control of my acne and I had very painful continuous breakouts before adding your Aloe & Ginger.

So, thank you so much for your soap and other products and I will be ordering more around the 1st (you might have to send me a reminder lol)! I will also be ordering some for my daughter to try to help with her breakouts as well.

Thank you Sonya & Family!

Wesa (Misty) :)"

Getting Your Natural Products on Store Shelves

Manufacturers have long since been aware that staying competitive in the world of retail means keeping up with the demands of the consumer. In spite of the crowded market space, there are still plenty of opportunities for new businesses to own their own share of that space and find a spot on store shelves. They key is giving the people what they want. One of the greatest areas we have seen growth in the last few years has been with organic and all natural products.  Visit our store to shop http://www.luxuriouslynatural.com

From clothing and handbags to bath and body products to food, consumers are becoming more conscientious about what they come into contact with and what they put on and in their bodies.

Total sales for the natural and organic industry increased 56 percent between 2002 and 2006. While consumers did back off on purchasing natural and organic products during the height of the recession, they have once again become more focused on purchasing all natural products. Retailers observed a seven percent increase in sales from 2009 to 2010, with another nine percent of growth in 2011.

Steven Hoffman, managing partner of Boulder, Colo.-based consulting firm Compass Naturals, notes that the “The number of natural products shoppers has increased so much that stores like Whole Foods are now opening in secondary markets.”

If you produce a natural or organic product, there are, according to the New York Times, several steps you can take to get your products onto store shelves.

1.      Start small. While you may want to see your products on the shelves of Whole Foods or Target eventually, it’s not going to happen right away. Begin by selling your product online, where you can test your product on the market and get achieve proof of concept. Another great option is to take it to small local stores that would be willing to consider selling them for a share of the profits or a small fee.

2.      Know your unique value proposition. In other words…know what differentiates your product from other products. Talk to and observe other retailers and buyers and make sure your product meets the demands of the customer with the features and colors they want. It may require you to make changes in your product, but in the end your product will sell more easily.

3.      Expect to hear no. Rejection is just part of the business, unfortunately. It may take years of emailing buyers or pushing your product at local businesses before you achieve your goals. However, you have proof of concept and have proven that your product will sell, so just keep at it and take any rejection in stride.

4.      Trade Shows. Trade shows can be expensive but they are also a great way to get your product in front of many people and/or store at one time. However, make sure you select the right show you or will find yourself out potentially thousands of dollars with no results to show for it.

5.      Hire a broker. If you can’t afford a salesperson and don’t have the time to do it yourself, consider hiring a broker who will get pair only when they make a sale. Typically they have relationships with buyers and will be able to move your product more quickly.

While you may have a great product, be prepared that getting onto retail shelves won’t happen overnight. Everything about getting your product into the hands of customers is all about building relationships, relationships with brokers, buyers and, of course, the customer.

Almonds in Natural Soap?

The Benefits of Almonds in Natural Soap



Botanically speaking, the almond is a stone fruit related to cherries, plums, and peaches. But unlike these fleshed fruit varieties, the almond’s edible “pearl” is the delicious nut found inside the fruit.

Originally believed to be native to China, the earliest varieties were brought to the Middle East, Greece, and Turkey by traders. Before long, almond trees flourished in the Mediterranean region. They were first brought to California in the 1700s by the Franciscans. Today, the Golden State is the only place in North America where almonds are grown commercially. More than 450,000 acres in the lush San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys are under almond cultivation.

Just one ounce contains 12 percent of your daily allowance of protein and 35 percent of your daily allowance of vitamin – the antioxidant with so many cancer-fighting qualities. And most of the fat inherent in almonds is monounsaturated, the “good” fat. This little nut is also loaded with minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc – calcium and folic acid are packed in there, too!

So if it's that wonderful to eat, just imagine what it does for your skin! We combine these nutrients with moisturizers and natural clays such as shea butter, sandalwood clay, to extract the impurities from your skin and you have an awesome skin conditioning product that will leave your skin feeling as smooth as a babies... well you know what I mean.

Luscious Bath Bombs and Fizzies

Bath Bombs

Bath bombs can be used for therapeutic purposes because they can contain essential oils which give various benefits.

Bath bombs usually contain essential oils. Some contain other additives like sea salt for added cleansing effect. Due to the nature of the additives used in creating these fancy little balls, bath bombs are commonly used for therapeutic purposes. The following are some essential oils commonly used in making bath bombs and their effects:

§ Lavender oil to help bathers relax, calm down or get rid of stress.

§ Sweet almond oil or sunflower oil to help moisturize the skin.

§ Avocado oil or wheat germ oil to heal and sooth damaged skin.

Bath fizzies or bath bombs can serve as inexpensive gifts for people who need to be pampered, or who need a calming or invigorating soak. They can also be used to make bath time fun for kids because the bath bombs would swirl, twirl and spin around in the bath tub while releasing that fizzing sound and its skin softening oils.

Yes, bath bombs can be used even by kids because they contain essential oils that can rejuvenate the skin and leave it feeling soft. In fact, it might even be better for them since most bath salts or bubble baths in the market contain synthetic oils and chemicals that do nothing to keep their young skin healthy.  Shop here for our bath bombs and fizzies

Bath Bombs

Bath bombs or fizzies are usually made of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), citric acid or organic acid, corn starch, Epsom salts/magnesium sulfate. For added scent, most bath bombs are made with fragrance oils. While some bath bombs come in different colors and are made with ordinary food coloring, there are those made with skin-safe glitter. There are also some herbal bombs wherein herbs or dried flowers are sprinkled on top or embedded inside to add to the bombs relaxing properties when it is released.
