Third day Soaps
and Garden Product review
Hello, my
Lovelies!!
How are you? I am
splendid!! And do you know why? It is because I was chosen to review some
wonderful products, Sole Survivor Rejuvenating Foot Scrub and wonderful all-in-one,
Smooth Operator Bath, Shower and Massage Oil. I was really happy to receive
these because I was in desperate need of a pedicure and my skin has been acting
a fool since I got back from Arizona. Enough about me and let’s read more from
the genius behind the products, Cynthia Hill. Below is an abbreviated interview
between myself and Cynthia.
What
is your mission?
Our mission
is to use ingredients so pure and simple they could have come from one of the
earliest gardens on Earth; this poetic verse about an early garden inspired our
name--On the Third Day Soaps Garden
The Earth
bring forth the grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that
yields fruit...and the evening and the morning were the "Third Day”
And,
in the future to have a spa/boutique/snack bar where people can come and pick
their own herbs, spices and veggies, sit at the snack bar and eat and/or have a
massage all in the same place. Right now my energy is in building an empire and
a legacy.
Who
is your target market?
The
products are geared towards the family not just a particular ethnic group or
thought process however; we do create a lot of products for the
African-American hair type. Overall my products are geared towards the working
person. They should be able to afford quality products.
I
received an oil. Tell me more about it and its uses.
The
massage oil is an all-in-one: bath, after bath or massage oil. It is what I
call a “self-preserving” product. It can keep for up 2 – 3 years. Argon oil is
very silky and soothing to the skin. It is a very nourishing product.
Let’s
switch gears to the nuts and bolts of the business. In the EU products like
yours are heavily regulated. Do you feel that the American market needs to face
such stringent regulation as well?
Regulations
are important but merchants should take more interest in lobbying for our
industry, industry trends and make good decisions in regards to our products.
Education should be tops for all in this industry. We must never stop learning
and educating ourselves and our customers.
If
you had to pick just two essential oils as your favorites, what would they be?
Lavender
and Lemon Balm; people are overly familiar with Lavender but Lemon Balm is a
rock star as well. It was really popular in the ‘20’s and ‘30’s. It was given
to women to treat symptoms for melancholy, relaxation and it blends well in a
tea with Lavender, Nettle and Red Clover.
If
you had two pieces of advice that you could give a newbie or someone even
thinking of starting a bath and body care business, what would they be?
1.
Make
sure that this is something that you love and would do; even if you weren’t
getting paid for it.
2.
If
possible, stay educated through trade, association or stringent networking to
develop your craft in your field.
3.
Get
an industry mentor, research and develop what you want to do. Never quit!

Cigars and Bourbon and Coffee Shoppe: Unscented. The Brick Red was a very Pepto pink at first but has calmed down to a very pale red. Hopefully it will continue to darken over time.
