In the Beginning
After 5 years of developing products for myself and 2 years for family and friends I have decided to introduce my products to the general consumer.Two years ago, while discussing the making of products with a co-worker (Ruben, a Hispanic male) he asked me if I could develop something for his very oily face.Starting my business began with creating custom blends for individuals with skin care problems who heard about me from word of mouth. Seeing the skincare issue either face to face or by texted picture, followed by research, was the initial steps taken to product development. Positive feedback led to a stronger passion and commitment to skin care. Extensive research went into the development of a product for my niece with sensitive skin related to eczema with worsening in the winter months. The more questions I had the more research I did such as skin sensitivity, allergic reactions, bacteria, fungus, skin anti-inflammatories, and hydration. Research led me to the use of organic oils, baking soda and nutmeg. My first scrub for her did not have any fragrance or anti-infective agents. After a month of using this scrub I advanced her to the same formula, now with the addition of lemongrass. Wow! What a changeseen by her and coworkers which lead to another word of mouth source. The commitment of men to improve their skin and follow their skincare plan has been encouraging and has sparked a desire to research and eventually develop more products for men.
