A la Carte
I was out yesterday with my puppy, Grendel, when I got this great idea for my shop.
I call it "A La Carte Body Butter". It's a customized 8 oz. tub of lotion. In the description, the buyer chooses 3 out of 5 carrier, or base, oils, 2 out of 4 add-ons, and whatever fragrance they want. Here is part of the write up:
♥♥♥THE BASE: PICK 3♥♥♥
Coconut Oil- An amazing oil for dry skin and sensitive skin. Extremely emollient, and does not clog pores.
Cocoa Butter- A very rich and emollient butter with natural antioxidants. Good use when intense moisturizing is needed.
Grapeseed Oil- Rich in vitamins and great for damaged, dry or aging skin
Sweet Almond Oil- A luscious oil for dry skin. High in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, B and E.
Olive Oil- Also great use in skin care. Very rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids. Beneficial for all skin types.
♥♥♥ADD ONS: Pick 2♥♥♥
Vegetable Glycerin- As a humectant, drawing moisture into itself, this ingredient is great for dry skin.
Vitamin E. Oil- A great natural antioxidant. Provides extra moisture and protection from UV rays,
Aloe Vera Juice- Heals and moisturizes. Excellent for sensitive skin.
Whole Milk Powder- Adds a creamy texture and leaves your skin feeling extra soft.
Then it goes on to list all the fragrance options. I feel like it's a good idea, as I know how people loved customizing items. I don't know how it will sell, though. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. It also gave me the idea to do offer similar customization; scrubs, balms, etc. But I think I'll just stick with the body butter for now, and see how it works out. Hopefully it works out good! :)
I'm off to work for the day but I'll most likely be updating later tonight! xx.
