Back in Business!

The Skinflint Workshop is finally tidy and clean and ready to begin production once more.
It's been a long wait for me as repairs have taken place following the ceiling collapse New Year's Eve 2011.
The kitchen ceiling has been replaced as well since it could well have collapsed at any time.

What a mess! I had dirt, dust and grime from one end of the shop to the other. It's taken me three weeks to clean it all up. I've had a good clean out and re-organise so I'm all good to go on Monday making products that are out of stock right now.

Some products are no longer in the range as I'm condensing the product line to make the business more manageable for me.

Hand & Nail Cream is no longer available and has been replaced by Replenish Hand & Body Lotion. The formula is a blend of both and the fragrance will be a light Essential Oil Blend.

Olive Gardener's Balm and Body Butter will be phased out over the coming months and will be replaced by Body Balm. This will be a blend of both Gardener's Balm and Body Butter and will be packaged in the large 250g PET jar. I will trial the option of a few different fragrances to choose from and may also include a fragrance-free option if this proves popular.

Pure Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner will only be available in the large 500ml container with a pump. The price will be slightly reduced, so that the two together will cost less than $40. Travel Sized Shampoo and Conditioner will be available in 50ml push top boston bottles.

Face Polish will still be available but will be suitable for those who use either the Clarifying or Enriching Range of Face Care products. It will be a similar formula to the Enriching Face Polish but will have added Rhassoul Clay for extra cleansing and exfoliating.

I look forward to an exciting time ahead and hope to catch up with many of my customers at the Albany Show this year.

Thank you all so much for your patience and continued support.

Product Revamp

While the Skinflint Workshop has been closed, the Skinflint Research & Development and Planning Department has been in full operation!

For some time now I've been wanting to condense the amount of product lines that I have available. Being a one (wo)man band, it can be difficult to keep stock levels up when there's such a range of products.

The proposal so far is to reduce the products to the following:

Home Fragrance
Soy Wax Melts
Soy Wax Candles in Baby Jars

Face Care
Clarifying Range - 100ml Toner & 30ml and 100ml Face Lotion
Enriching Range -  100ml Toner & 30ml and 100ml Face Lotion
130ml Cleanser - for all skin types
175ml Face Polish - for all skin types
100ml Eye Make Up Remover
30ml Rosehip Recovery Serum
Lip Balm

Body Care
250ml Body Butter
100ml and 250ml Hand & Body Lotion (based on the Replenish formula)
Hand Made Soap

Hair Care
250ml Pure Moisture Shampoo - reduced price
250ml Pure Moisture Conditioner - reduced price

You'll notice that Face Polish and Cleanser will be for all skin types. The difference between the Clarifying and Enriching Cleanser and Face Polish is quite minimal, so it seems sensible to simply have the one sort.

I've also deleted the Mother & Baby Care Range. I still have some of the range in stock and it will be on special until sold out. There are many good natural products on the market today so I feel that I don't need to provide these products any more.

I'm very interested to hear your comments on the reduced range for Skinflint. Please comment below or on the Facebook Page.
