Part of our journey is ending
|
|
This last year, especially, has been full of massive change.
Several of the other indie brands we stocked in our Shop Beauty section have closed for good including Sappho, Dr. Brite, and Alima Pure.
This and other factors have led us to make a big decision.
We are discontinuing sales of third party color cosmetics, haircare, and other products in our Shop Beauty section moving forward.
No more stock of other brands' products will be ordered for our site, so anything we have is the last we will have.
There are a few reasons for this change.
-
We never intended to be a "beauty retailer" anyway. We just wanted to support other indie brands and help our clients find options to complete their routines. Sometimes people get confused upon finding our site and think we make all those items, which we don't. We'll be better able to focus on messaging for Blissoma without them on the site.
|
|
-
We need the space the beauty inventory occupied for our new bulk, single ingredient, and organic products. Being forced into getting an Organic certificate has made changes to our overall business plans. We have limited storage space and we need to move out the makeup and haircare to make room for more, exceptional, single botanical ingredients and Blissoma brand products.
|

Some brands have gone mass market, and it has really hurt our sales. This is particularly about Innersense, who now sells on Amazon and Ulta. When we started our storein 2015 we didn't carry brands that worked with mass retailers because we do the work to introduce people to the products and then the big retailers get the sales later due to convenience. Innersense sales have dropped off for us since they have deprioritized their indie partners by focusing on sales on Amazon and Ulta. They get to do what they want with their brand, but our sales of their items have been hurt tremendously by their expansion to a mass market audience. We wish them the best, but it's not a good fit for us.

We've had to discard a shocking amount of foundation and other products over time due to items expiring before they could sell. This has especially been true for liquid foundations that expire within 18-24 months in darker shades. We had already cut back on these types of items as we could not further sustain losses, but it's time to let go entirely.
|
|
-
With the loss of Alima Pure we absolutely would have to find a new color cosmetic line to carry ( Elate was one of our top next picks, in case you are looking for great products). The fact is that we just don't have the time to add all the shades and skus and keep up with the rest of our work in the current economy. The makeup skus are a tremendous amount of work for us to add and maintain, and we need to focus on what we do best, which is skincare.
|

-
There are fewer and fewer completely indie green beauty brands out there that really meet our ingredient standards. Brand closures and investors buying brands have left less options that we can trust really align with our values. Alima Pure had even started adding synthetic colorants to products to try to compete with the mass market, which is not something green and health focused shoppers ever wanted.
We're anticipating even more turmoil in the industry due to the Iran war and subsequent strain on fuel and raw materials for plastics (which most beauty products use for packaging). In order to be able to focus on keeping ourselves healthy we just can't stake our wellbeing on other brands right now. We need all our time and resources to focus on our supply chain, our own manufacturing, and our own products.

Starting today everything in our Shop Beauty section is automatically 15% off as part of this change.
The discount will increase to 25% during the Summer Sale.
Quantities on all items in stock are limited, and will not be replenished.
If you want something from that section grab it sooner vs later.
We're sad that our chapter supporting beautiful brands like HennΓ©, Pure Anada, Flourish, Hynt, Fitglow, and others is ending and we hope you'll continue to shop their websites directly or buy their products from quality indie retailers.
We wish them lots of success and we have been honored to do our part to help introduce more people to their products.
We're excited to send you lots of healthy goodness for your skin and body!
