Re: creme
I've experimented a lot, I have two products that I'm completely happy with. The criteria...resales? Good reports? Able to withstand test of time?
A customer recently told me that she just cleaned out her camper, she'd left a jar of the body creme in there since last summer. So, the creme has been exposed to high(100+) and low(0) temps. Stable emulsion, no breakdown, no mold.
My favorite experiment was a ghee and honey creme. SO non-stable, mold within a week. But prior to that point, delectable:)
Funny the responses I get when an experiment DOES develop mold. Some folks say nothing, and don't buy. Others love it, see it as a sign of a fresh product.
Of course I never sell those. I'm lucky to have a good group of folks willing to try and give feedback:)
And I will expand, but slowly. Need a market for different products. The body creme, everybody loves. The face creme? Women of a "certain age". :)
