As a business that offers premium personal care products, we periodically do sales reviews, look at trends, customer preferences and where demand is headed. Â In doing so, we have found that compared to our other products, lip balms sales are slowing at a time when other products are surging.Â
Manufacturing time is a big production COST and it has become obvious that our lip balms are a voracious time-consuming monster. Why? They are hand made & poured, hand labeled, and also hand shrink-wrapped for stores. Â Sometimes, hand crafted is a plus and is worth the additional time and money. Â But in the case of lip balms, they are too time-consuming for us to continue making.
There are hundreds of lip balm manufacturers as well to serve that market, and our mission is not to be a lip balm company. So to compete effectively by buying additional time-saving equipment would be yet another investment that does not fit our business strategy.
We are excited to roll out new products that customers have been requesting. Â Two essential oil hair treatments for use after shampooing are nearly ready. Â One is Lavender/Frankincense and the other is Tea Tree & Peppermint.
Additionally we began carrying CBD products and making roll-ons, lotion bars and a cream containing CBD.
So effective September 16th, we will be removing Lip Balms from our website. Stores will be selling out their remaining inventory. Â Thank you for the marvelous reviews of our lip balms, we are glad you liked them.
