I hope you all had a fantastic spring break! This week has been a bunch of fun, and so much has gone on with my project! As I shared with you guys last week, I'm loving the lip product that I made! The only thing I wanted to change this week was the pickup so consumers could easily use the product and use the penetrating antioxidants to protect their lips! I even took a trip to Sephora to test how the pickup was on a bunch of other lip butters to compare to my own product.
On Tuesday, I came into Kerwin's lab with a new formula and a plan, he went over it and showed me another wonderful natural ingredient that would uplift my formula, and we slipped it in and got going. After measuring and mixing my ingredients, I got to pour the 50mL batch and make another set of lip butters! We tested it again, and I love it! It's such a great mix and I would love to give you all samples if I could over the internet! Currently I'm having people try it, and they have super positive feedback which is amazing!
Now I am working a lot more on the graphics and specific marketing behind my product. My goal is to come up with my design for packaging this weekend so it is done when I see Kerwin on Tuesday again, and I can also share it with the people I am working with at the dermatology company in Phoenix! I also am working on creating a brand name that would encompass my products. Both my cleanser and lip product are natural and I would love all my products to be natural in the future. I'm thinking of a two or three word brand name, and I'll keep you posted on what I come up with!
Next week I will be working on my formulation for my cleanser with Kerwin, and I'm super excited for that, but I will have to do a bunch more research this weekend for that including ingredients and marketing claims that can go behind those ingredients too.
I have a bunch I'm working on, and so much to do before my internships are over! I am super thankful for this opportunity, and I hope you guys are learning with me! If you have any questions, as always, feel free to leave a comment below!
