ETHOS Grooming Essentials A New Line

Wanted to let you all know that both the new Blood Orange & Melange Di’Agrume Tallow Shave Crème’s will come with a Vial of the Aroma Blend. This gives the customer the ability to add scent strength to either of these citrus cremes if they want to.  Add a drop or two to the shave bowl or you can even add some to your matching post shave products.  


Here’s a photo of the Melange Di Agrume and the vial below 

Frank…it’s breathtaking how you ALWAYS go the extra mile to totally satisfy your customers…

Thank you my friend for the kind and encouraging words. I'm definitely not perfect but I try to give my customers more options and to continue to improve each and every product as technology moves forward and keep the products as natural as possible.

Need input from members and customers: 

Ok so I listened to my customer and members on here way back when I only had the 7.5 oz jars as many of you requested a smaller size which as you know I added the 4.5 oz size and it's done well but all along the way any Shave soap that was still available in the 7.5 oz has sold out especially in the Lavender Supreme and Success and at one time the Clean. Also I've been asked multiple times from customers if they can get a specific Shave Soap or Creme in the 7.5 oz as a custom order.  So I'm sitting here with a boat load of these large jars and I'm wondering now that a couple of years have gone by maybe things have changed. 

So my question to you is how many of you would like to see some or all the Shave Soaps and Creme's come in both sizes. To me the pros are you pay less per oz when purchasing the larger size and the cons are you pay more out of pocket.  Obviously it also takes longer to go through the larger size so that may be a plus for some and a minus for others.  I'm at the crossroads on this and want to make a strong decision on this subject. I will also post this on social media as I have a good amount of customers on there.  Also not sure if I should keep the 7.5 oz as an exclusive to the ETHOS website as I have in the past or let the vendors carry them also.  

Any input would be a big help and PLEASE when responding quote so this post doesn't get lost as it is the weekend and I know the site gets a little slow so someone who chimes in on Monday may not see it to give their input as it's no longer visible or is on the previous page and gets lost. 

Kind of late to the party, but another vote in favor of the 7.5 oz jars. I was one of those who asked you via your web page a few months back if that size would be available again.

7.5 for the win.

The 7.5 oz are already in motion. Today I made 3 different Shave Cremes and they all will have the 7.5 oz jars as an option . Their easy to fill.. right to the top.

Thanks for your input!

Frank, haven't finished reading but if you have people add to their original posts you won't know the order of who was first when there are duplicates. Just a thought....

Thanks Dave for the suggestion. So do you think I need to stick to the quote the original post so it stays current and people see it?  I mean this post already puts it out of current posts and a couple of more off topic posts about anything and the contest goes unseen by anyone new if you know what I mean.  I may have to repost this after editing. I’ll wait for your response first

The quote suggestion is probably better for you to know order of names suggested

Thank you this was my bad.

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
