Invasion of the Soap

 It's taking over my workshop! I have been making loads of soap lately as it's so popular and I'm beginning to run out of room to store it for curing.
I've had to do a much needed clear out of the Skinflint workshop shelves and have set up the curing racks there. The showroom smells divine with three different soaps curing plus the soy melts and the display soaps.

 It was great to see some regular Skinflint customers and meet new customers at the Katanning Show on the weekend. I would love to hear from those who are new to Skinflint products. Any comments and feedback are welcome. Please email me with your comments or queries.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Yes, I'm a busy little bee at the moment, making supplies for upcoming shows. Lip Balms yesterday and Gardener's Balm today. I can't do much more today as I have a Council Meeting this afternoon.

Gardener's Balm is a unique product that I created to help people who have trouble with really dry, cracked skin on their hands. Of course, it's not just for gardener's, it's excellent for farmers.
Gardener's Balm contains urea, a skin softener, plus allantoin which is known for it's healing properties. Olive Leaf Extract contains flavonoids which stimulate connective tissue and promote regular growth and balance in the skin. Olive and jojoba oils along with pure organic cocoa butter provide emolliency and softening to the skin.

I have a fabulous testimony from a customer who came to me last year at the Newdegate Field Days and showed me her cracked, bleeding hands. She helps her husband run a cattle farm and was despairing at what to do as working in the yards had become difficult with very sore hands. She went away with a tub of Gardener's Balm and two weeks later rang me to exclaim how thrilled she was that her hands were healing! I knew that the balm would help soften the skin in order to allow healing to take place, but had no idea that it would happen so quickly or so dramatically!

What wonderful news. She came to me in Newdegate again this year to show how good her hands were as she's been using Gardener's Balm religiously since then.

NEW PHOTOS
If you check out my website, you'll notice some lovely new photos. Kellie Guest (nee Dolan, from Nyabing) has been photographing all my products to ensure consistency throughout the website. Up until now, I've been taking them and they're a mish mash of different lighting, backgrounds and effects!

Such a horrible day weather wise today. Hot wind making everything even more dry than it is and now a movement ban so we can't shift any sheep to water.  It's been a shocker of a season for grain farmers here and everyone will have to tighten their belt next year. It's good to know that I can provide good quality skin care products at reasonable prices so my local and other farming customers will still be able to afford Skinflint

New Diffuser Oil Fragrance!

Skinflint has a released a new fragrance in the Reed Diffuser Oil range. Apricot Freesia is a combination of fruit and floral. It's a wonderful fresh fragrance that doesn't have the cloying sweetness of many floral fruit fragrances.

Red Tea & Lychee will be phased out as it's not a particularly popular scent. I'm pretty sure this new one will be very popular!

I'd like to introduce one more fragrance. What would you like?

Berry?
Vanilla?
Lemony?

Reed Diffusers

Reed Diffusers have been pretty popular, but I'm having trouble getting hold of the glass bottles at a reasonable price. The bottles are a good price, but postage is ridiculous!

So, I've decided to let customers either purchase or re-use their own glass bottles and can supply the reeds and diffuser oil for them. This makes it a really economical way to scent your home. The other benefit is that I'll be able to supply a larger range of fragrances including essential oils for the diffusers.

Diffuser Oil is available in a range of fragrances in a 130ml bottle for only $12.50 and Reeds are in a bunch of 6 for $2.50. You can buy gorgeous coloured bottles at discount stores and have your reed diffusers match in with your decor.


Be sensible, be a Skinflint!
