ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

Absolutely interested in some natural baking soda free stuff, preferably a jar option so I can scoop out a pea size amount and apply.

I actually like the idea of a jar instead of a Roll up but I’lm going to make some samples of both and I’ll send some out to some members to try out.

Thank for the feedback

Hello DFS members.

So as the title says I'm having another " Name the product contest. We've had some fun with this before and every now and then a name doesn't come to me for a product and I've gotten some good ones from members on here so I'm reaching out to you again and I'm sure it won't be the last time. LOL



RULES: ( dislike that word ) of the contest.  Each person gets up to 4 different picks and you can post them all up at once or one at a time whenever you think of a new one. 

So before I get started on the details of the contest I'd like to start out by saying PLEASE when responding  just follow the rules.

PLEASE QUOTE THIS POST AND ADD YOUR PICKS!  Obviously you can edit your post if let's say you only pick one name today and think of another pick tomorrow etc. But always quote this original post.. it's the only way I can really keep track of things and the post won't get lost so others who come on later can still see it as I want to keep this fair for everyone.  This way will make it easier to find the winning name and the winner of the prize.

You are probably asking  what product are we talking about that I need a name for.  So here's the simple explanation. Myself, my cosmetic chemist friend Joe and an ingredient company both he and I have been working with for over 25 years now came together on this new product. It started out as an idea of mine and I was just going to do it myself but in casual conversations with Joe, he's like this is something I'd like to be a part of as I really like the idea so we contacted the ingredient company ( this is the ingredient company where I get my EOS Complex from ) and we discussed some options and ended up with a bunch of ideas about how we could add some of the latest skincare technology into this product and when we agreed we began the R&D and we finally completed the formula to our satisfaction. I'll be adding this to the ETHOS line of products and I"ll order the labels as soon as I get a name for the product so we can design the label and add the name. This one is a big one so I really want a name that speaks of what this product is. This product addresses all the layers of the skin just so you know and that may be helpful when thinking about a name. 

So this is an Additive that is highly concentrated and can be used in many different ways.  First off it contains 50% of the EOS Complex to start with and as I've posted before the complex is made up of 36 Skin Beneficial ingredients and it's a proprietary complex and I have another 3 year proprietary agreement with the ingredient company so It will be around for a while. I'll take some time to briefly explain the EOS Complex. First it's starts out its life from Fermenting 8 different Sea Plants and this is done by a company that specializes in this area. A solution is then sent to the ingredients company and all the other natural bio active ingredients are added. I will moving forward do a more detailed explanation of the benefits and some of the ingredients in the EOS Complex in the future when I have time as it will be a pretty lengthy write up. 

Anyway the remaining 50% of the additive contains both some simple proven ingredients like Aloe Vera for example and some other new very innovative actives make up the rest and the ingredient list on the bottle will give them all to you.

So kind of think of this as a Super skin beneficial brew when thinking of a name. This additive will come in a 1 oz bottle with a dropper as seen in the photo image below. You only need a few drops of this concentrated additive. An just so you have an idea there are approximately 500 drops in the 1 oz  bottle. This additive can be added to many different products. For example. If you wanted to boost up the skin benefits of any aftershave splash, lotion, balm and water based serums like my Hyaluronic acid serum to name one. A couple of drops can be added to your shaving bowl when whipping up some lather as well. It can be added to your Witch Hazel, Face tonic Etc. Etc. So you get the picture. So again keep all this in mind when thinking of a name for the product.

Speaking of names here is a few suggestions to get you a winner.
1. Use either English, French, Italian or Spanish when coming up with a name. 
2. Keep it simple cause it's gotta fit on a pretty small label.
3. Also sort of easy to pronounce and remember.. that is a challenge sometimes I've found. 
4. It can even be a name out of Mythology etc. 


So now we get to the prize.. The winner gets his/her choice of either a custom F Base Shave Soap or a Tallow Shave Creme. For the  Aroma there are going to be some limitations such as picking out a cologne scent as those tend to take a lot longer. Also picking out a very expensive Aromatics like Vintage Mysore Sandalwood,  Oud, Red Champaca or any other stupid expensive aromatic.  I'd like to stick to Artisanal Aroma Blending using natural reasonably priced Aromatics such as any of the citruses, Some florals, Woods like Cedarwood , Lavender, Peppermint  etc etc. are all acceptable. What we will do after the winner is named is that person and myself can talk things over about what they would like as their custom Aroma blend.  Also included is a matching Skin Food Splash and of course a bottle of the new additive.

So lets have some fun and I can't wait to start to hear your picks. Oh and please take your time getting all 4 of your picks posted up. I'm going to close this contest on Sunday night at 6pm and will name the winner on Monday morning. So get them in before the closing time.


Good luck to all

Frank

Keep the picks coming guys. 

Thank you!

My last slot. Frank, I have a longer list that I am going to send. Maybe one will be a spark or stepping stone for the name, if nothing connects with the official crowd sourced guesses/contest.

6. Alba (Italian - dawn/sunrise. Going for metaphor for renewal)

Question: 

Would you guys like and support if I make Roll Up Deodorant Sticks?  Reason is I’ve been thinking about I have a hard time getting a scent I like lately.  I wouldn’t make a ton of different aromas but maybe like 4 to 6 with Bay Rum being one of them along with Succes, Greenfresh and Vetivert for now and then some colder weather scents come Fall. Not sure it’s worth the effort. 

Also if I did would you rather have the oval roll ups or the round. The rounds like my Roll up shave sticks cost more. 

My son thinks I’m crazy as he said you can’t compete with major brands price wise.  I told him I ordered Dr Squatch Bay Rum and it was $13.50 and it smells like synthetic Bay Rum.  I could probably match that price. Can’t go head to head with Gillette or any of the big companies that are in the $5 to $6 range. 

I said I’ll ask in the forum see what they say. I do have a good formula I can use should I do it

I use “clinical strength” anti-perspirant, so I would not be a customer. That said, if I was, I prefer the oval roll-up, and wouldn’t even consider scooping from a jar.

I prefer the the roll-on deodorant (liquid) versus a solid roll-up stick. Which is easier to make and package?

I'd sign up for the roll on stick amigo. I'm not much of a scoop and apply guy. As a Man I like things to be straightforward, simple and practical. Deodorant roll on is quick and easy. Remove cap, apply, close cap and smell nice for a workday. I'm a K.I.S.S. kind of guy Frankie....

Yeah, just to clarify, I wouldn't use something in a jar that I need to scoop. Would need to be a stick or roll-on.

Violeta made today! 

Smells awesome and it looks like pistachio ice cream lol 

Couldn’t get a great true to color photo of the soap but you get the idea 




I’ve made the decision to also make the Skin Food Lotion, Revitalizing Serum and I’m thinking of an EDP in the Violeta as I think any post shave products are going to really bring the Violet Absolute forward.  

We should be ready to get the the pre orders ready by the end of the week. I’ll post updates 

Great Shaves! 

BOIIIING!!!

Dragonsbeard  Frank, count me in on a natural deodorant (I think you and I have discussed this before). All I'd need is Green fresh, either round of oval stick would be my preference.

Dragonsbeard Frank - I can only use deodorant, nothing that inhibits sweat (folliculitis).  So when you say deodorant I assume you mean only deodorant (please clarify).

I also think your dealers should be drooling over the chance to buy them by the gross, not dozen. 

Simple scents like Success, Lavender, Bay Rum, Sikura, Fresco and I’m in buddy.
