Why
did we call it “ellënoire everyday Body Wash” and “ellënoire everyday Body
Lotion”? Read on to find out….
A few years ago my Tim and I were trying to work out why we
just weren’t selling as much body wash and lotion as we thought we should
be. After all, each of the Ellenoire
products were high quality, handmade, paraben free and even custom
scented. We decided that I needed to
create a line that people would choose as their basic products to use every
single day. What do most people use every day? Soap or Body Wash and some sort
of Lotion was the answer. I kept telling him we already had those things in our
product line up and I didn’t know why people couldn’t just see past the pretty
label with my picture on the front at how these were great products to use
daily. I was using them daily, he was using them daily and a lot of my
customers were using them daily but it wasn’t enough. We needed a way to get
people to replace their basic drug store level product with something we had
created and convince them that it was better for their skin than those chemical
ridden products. We also had to convince the people that were already buying
organic and clean products at their local health food store that ours was
better, less expensive and available in their choice of natural fragrances or
totally unscented. I came up with some
great formulations but we still had to get the message across that it was all
those lovely things, but for everyday use… well why not put that right on the
label? And this is how the ellënoire everyday line was born.
The two main products in the line are the Body Wash and the
Body Lotion. We decided not to name them anything other than exactly what they
are. We even labeled them in a way that suggested they were kind of generic,
simple, and basic. Tim wanted people to look at the label, know exactly what
they were looking at and buy it. The people who desired the natural ingredient
info got exactly what they needed on the back (some people never, ever look at
ingredients, some people care about nothing else, this product was set up to
satisfy both types) Ellënoire everyday is 70% or higher organic content (close
to 100% in the Body Wash) vegan safe, kid safe, paraben, silicone, sulfate and
petroleum free. I compared the bottle size and the per ml price of every
comparable organic body product I could find locally and online in Canada and
made sure ours came in a bigger bottle and was the least expensive. You can
bring the bottle in for a refill for a 10% discount. Both products come in
unscented, a lavender and lemongrass blend, and a vanilla and bergamot blend.
All scents are pure essential oils and the unscented is available for custom
scenting with 1 of our over 100 essential oils for a small charge. The products
do exactly what you imagine they should they are simple, straight forward, with
no BS. The Body wash cleanses your skin gently but doesn’t strip your skins
natural oils or leave a greasy petroleum residue like some of the moisturizing body
washes on the market. The put that gunk in to mask the fact that the cheap
detergent in the wash strips your skin of oils like paint remover strips paint.
It’s gentle enough to wash your face, but only use the unscented if you have
very sensitive skin.
The body lotion is light, luxuriously smooth and fast absorbing
but leaves your skin feeling like you can pick up paper and get dressed soon
after using it. I love the unscented one for face and body but use a scented
one for special occasions since it leaves a whisper of natural scent that only
I and the people that I let hug me can smell.
I fought for the
better part of 3 or so years with Tim on creating this line. I am notorious in
our history of working on this business together for the last 11 years in
coming up with reasons not to implement his ideas. The day we launched the
product line in 2010 at a festival here in town we (I was anyway) were shocked
at how quickly we sold out. The line had
remained a bestseller ever since. Everyday someone comes in to take advantage
of our refill service.
I thought Tim’s
“brilliant” tag line for the product: “Good Stuff You’ll Like” was the most
ridiculous of all his ideas. It turns out, he was right there too. If it comes
from ellënoire there is no question it is good stuff, if I won’t use it myself
it won’t go on the shelf … and clearly when the packaging and line ideas come
from Tim you like it!
