xverion Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I've been looking into maybe offering mud masks as a part of my line, but the info I got from From Nature with Love says that the mask needs to be used immediately after mixing your clay and water. If I were to use for instance, my clay, distilled water, and a preservative, do you think this would hold up? I guess I'm answering my own question about testing, but was wondering if anyone had tried this, or offers it themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 May I make a suggestion..you can also sell your Mud Mask as a dry formula...this will solve your problem of the water and preservative issue.. you can add a label with directions....and the shelf life would be even longer....You could package them in the larger foil samples from Kangaroo Blue...HTH'sHugs Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I would package it dry, and maybe add a little scooper with it, just a tiny one so they could scoop it into their palm and add water. That way they dont waste it, etc.I am working on one now with rose absolute as it is really good for mature skin especially. I might package it dry with a bottle of the absolute for them to mix to their pleasure, plus rose absolute is supposed to be a natural antibacterial.

xverion Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Thanks for the help all, still deciding about this, may go the premade route, but the make it yourself masks seems like a fun idea, i think people may get a kick out of it!

Noodle Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 The dry masks never sold well for me. I thought the idea was a brilliant one and I still do. But I found that most of my customers just wanted to apply it without fiddling around and mixing stuff. Just some food for thought...

daniedb Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I made mine wet as well, and I added Germaben II at the normal rate, it kept very well. The only thing that I didn't expect was that making it wet took literally almost 10x the amount of clays, since it soaks up so much moisture, to make a good product that didn't get too hard after a few weeks. It was frustrating, and not to mention - HEAVY as sin which threw shipping to the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
