Describe your business:
I create from scratch body / spa products that are all natural which means they are free from harmful chemicals, preservatives and alcohol. Some man-made chemicals that have recently been deemed as carcinogenic (cancer causing) are Parabens, Sodium Laureth Sulfate and PEG – these chemicals are found in 90% of the products purchased in any corporate run establishment.
Where does your inspiration for this business come from?
I began aromatherapy and holistic training approximately four years ago partially in response to my step-mother’s sudden flare up of allergies to many commercially produced body products and perfumes as well as my interest in finding ways to naturally heal and care for my family.
What has been your greatest achievement thus far?
My business has really begun to grow in the last six months and I feel I am in an exciting time. I think my greatest achievement is the fact that not one of my customers have experienced any reactions to any of my products when they were experiencing break outs, rashes and severe allergic reactions to commercially produced products.
What’s your advice for someone who is just starting out?
Be sure to venture into something you have the strongest passion for. Owning your own business is time consuming and can be stressful but if you love what you do it makes it all worth it. Also, never stop learning…there is always something that you can learn to help your business grow and excel.
