Thread: I'm number one!

Mornin, Mornin!

Things are getting squared away here on the home front, orders caught up.....so today is AS day. Now one thing that did occur to me with these fluctuations in my home life is that you have possibly considered.....what happens when it's time for to make the SRP AS to sell, and will there be fluctuations then ?? It's a good question.

Honestly, to some degree it's a possiblity to the same extent as what happens from time to time with the other products if there is a break in the supply chain somewhere or if I'm overwhelmed with orders, which seems to occur on a rise and fall pattern of orders.

But in the actual production of the product, the answer is no. After we have decided upon the base and the scent, then I can stop experimenting....and make the AS in large quantities. Right now, everything has to be done in small quantity with only small amounts remaining left over and this is what goes out to a person here and there to try to pull in comments from the outside without telling them anything else. Every time I send out bottles to test, it all starts from scratch "each and every time" which makes it time consuming and somewhat redundant I suppose, but because the ingredients are expensive.....oye, it's the only way I know how to do it.

When we start to make the AS in "quantity" the current work schedule here will be modified to add this into production, so it should be just fine. On an interesting note, just in case anyone is wondering how we'll go about filling these bottles up with that tiny little hole.....I have 60 cc syringes that work quite nicely

and quickly.......on a pricing note, it is doable to lower the price by 35% to 40% by purchasing a premade AS from a supplier, changing the bottle, dropping the percentage of EO used, and going with a different type label.

The following are the contents of a few Supplier AS that some of you may have seen before.


Ingredients/Technical Specs:

Aloe barbadensis (Organic Aloe) Leaf Juice, Hamamelis virginiana (Witch Hazel), Phenoxyethanol, Salix nigra (Black Willowbark) Extract, Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) Essential Oil, Polysorbate, Edta, Citric Acid


Ingredients/Technical Specs:

Aloe barbadensis (Organic Aloe) Leaf Juice, Lavendula angustifolia (Organic Lavender) Distillate (Vaccinium myrtillus (Organic Bilberry) Extract, Saccharum officinarum (Organic Sugar Cane) Extract, Acer Saccharinum (Organic Sugar Maple) Extract, Citrus auranium dulcis (Organic Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus medica limonum (Organic Lemon) Extract, Vaccinium macrocarpon (Organic Cranberry) Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Malic Acid, Tartaric Acid, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Salix nigra (Black Willowbark) Extract, Tetrasodium Edta, Citric Acid


Along with the AS samples going out tomorrow, each of you will also be receiving one of the above Supplier generated AS. For me..... THIS IS the "tell the tale" test. The bottles will be scented with the same scent but not marked as to which one is custom and which one belongs to the supplier. We'll see which one wins......

Hope y'all have a beautiful and blessed Sunday.
