In today’s economy, many people turn to their grandmothers’ beauty secrets. Secrets that go back generations about beauty remedies. These home wonders are what power many home businesses. These remedies travel through word of mouth to friends of friends of friends and, in most cases, have been proven to be true. I myself have forays into homemade bath and body products, primarily handmade bar soap. With this experience, I can provide a luxury hand and body soap that will make the most expensive companies run for their money.
With the cost of everything on the rise, it’s no wonder so many people are turning to more organic and homemade products. At the cost of producing 10 bars of soap, say five dollars, a soap maker could recover more than 500% of that amount. With each bar selling for about $ 2.50 a bar, multiplied by ten, that person would earn twenty-five dollars out of five dollars. Not bad if you ask me. The thing about these kitchen wonders is that the mass produced is not the artisan work put into it. Every soap maker I have ever met puts their heart and soul into each bar. Colors and ingredients are hand selected to match the most beautiful and luxurious bar ever produced. Customers of these artisans know that they are getting a quality organic product made especially for them and not a commercially produced “beauty bar”.
Other homemade beauty product that are becoming as popular as hand and body lotions. This item is also a gentle potion of most of the skin softening oils and butters known to man. With ingredients such as Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Olive Oil and Aloe Vera; It is no wonder why so many people are turning to household products. When someone dabbles in home beauty, the possibilities are endless, as is the income, whether it’s just a side hobby or for those with a successful business.
I’d rather trust a family or friend when it comes to product reviews than an internet survey. This way I know that I am not being lied to or given false information just to increase sales. Still, the home beauty and bath business is closer to home than you might think. There are millions of people doing it and the artisan community is the most helpful I have ever seen. Moral character or anything is not judged, just the same people with a common interest and want to get the most out of it. With that, I don’t see anything wrong.
