Introduction:

In this quick guide, we’ll break down the ingredients, percentages, and costs to ensure you create a top-notch body oil that both you and your customers will love.

Primary and Secondary Oils:

Our primary oils – sweet almond, sunflower, and olive oils – form the foundation of the formula, bringing a luxurious feel at an affordable cost. Remember, these oils constitute the majority of your product, so choosing cost-effective yet quality options is key.

Secondary Oils:

Enter castor oil and vitamin A, playing supporting roles in our formula. Castor oil, though thick, adds a unique texture, so a small percentage goes a long way. Vitamin A contributes to a firming quality, but be mindful of its cost – balance is key!

Vital Ingredient: Vitamin E:

Don’t forget the superhero of skincare – vitamin E oil. It not only benefits the skin but also extends the shelf life of your body oil, preventing that dreaded rancid smell.

The Formula Breakdown:

Let’s break down the percentages for our 6-ounce bottle:

– Sunflower oil: 43% (2.6 ounces)

– Sweet almond oil: 23% (1.3 ounces)

– Olive oil: 23% (1.3 ounces)

– Castor oil: 6% (0.6 ounces)

– Vitamin A : 1% (0.1 ounce)

– Vitamin E : 1% (0.1 ounce)

Calculating the Cost:

With just the materials, our formula costs a mere $3.40. Add in the bottle and lid costs, and you’re looking at $4.52 per bottle. With savvy pricing, this means you can sell your product for a profit while keeping it affordable for your customers.

Bonus Tip: Pricing Strategy:

Consider this – even if you put your product on sale, understanding your costs ensures a healthy profit margin. Selling at $15 with a $10 sale price still yields a profit of $12.11. Understanding these margins allows flexibility in promotions without compromising your business.

Scaling Up:

As your business grows, explore bulk options for ingredients to further decrease costs. This way, you maintain profitability even during sales or promotions.
