About
Journey of Natural Body Butter & Skin Care products
I’ve been making my own body butter in Wales & skin care products since 2015 due to not being able to purchase anything. which would moisturise my very dry skin properly.
It was September in 2020, & with time on my hands, due to the lockdown, the idea of setting up my own skincare company began. I had been interested in natural therapies since the early 1980s, following experiences with homoeopathy and naturopathy.
I love essential oils and after doing some research found a way of combining the two things together.
Having given my products to family & friends over the years as gifts & received positive feedback it had been something at the back of my mind for a while. Lockdown was the catalyst in making this a possibility.
Essential Skin and Body Butters in Wales
After many how-to videos to gain knowledge on how to launch a company, research on labels, packaging, domain names & a host of other information, my company Essential Skin & Body Butters was born at the end of November 2020. Mainly through word of mouth & social media with the lockdown stillin force, I could only give samples to people I knew, but by Christmas, I had sold over 90 items.
Those first customers have remained with me to this day. In January 2021, a remark on social media made me aware of regulations and testing I should have followed before selling my products!
Due to this I removed everything & found out all the regulations required. I decided on a company to do the testing to obtain my CPSR license and ensured I followed all the legal requirements with paperwork.
This took several months, when I had finally finished, I restarted in August 2021 with my first craft market.
I was now back on social media with an online shop, continuing to do regular craft markets around the area.
I qualified with a diploma in aromatherapy in October 2021 & have continued to expand my knowledge.
In June 2022 I changed my business name from Essential Skin and Body Butters to Skin Solved and started setting up a website.
My aim is to deliver pure quality body butter in Wales, balms and skincare products at reasonable prices while supporting the British Heart Foundation which is a charity close to my family for personal reasons.
I offer free skincare consultations and will always work with a customer to find a skincare product for their needs.
Natural body butter, creams
I continue to develop my product range, now selling a range of natural body butter, creams for acne and eczema, baby creams, facial serum & pamper baskets.
It has been incredibly hard work but I love to share the knowledge I’ve gained by giving talks to groups to raise awareness.
I’m grateful for the new path in my life where I have met so many interesting people.
