You’re a natural-born maker. You love nothing more than whipping up a batch of homemade skincare awesomeness for yourself and your inner circle.

Your friends have said it…

Your family has said it…

“You know, you should really sell this stuff!”

(Like you hadn’t already been dreaming about running your own gig already.)

But…now that you’re doing a bit of research, it’s way more involved than you had originally anticipated…and creating even more confusion the deeper you dig.

“How do I know if my business name is taken already? How do I create those professional-looking labels? And the fancy photos for my website. Oh wait. Website. How do I even know which website platform to USE???”

Deep breath.

All of these questions (and more) are answered in the DIY Skin Care Business Branding Guide which was created just for passionate makers with an entrepreneurial spirit like yourself.

This step-by-step PDF will show you exactly how to brand your business like a pro and prepare you to start selling your products online with confidence.

“Above and beyond what I have come across in most courses.”

“Wow! I have done so many classes, joined so many groups, paid so much money but nothing comes close to this! It’s concise, to the point, covers everything step by step, and is a MUST HAVE guide. I wish I had this when I started my business…above and beyond what I have come across in most courses.”

Real quick, let’s get straight on what we mean by ‘branding’.

We’re WAY past the point in e-commerce and marketing strategy where simply choosing a color palette and logo gets all the ‘branding boxes’ checked.

EVERY DECISION you make while building your business influences how you are perceived, and that includes topics that haven’t always made it under the ‘branding’ umbrella. We’re talking:

  • Your target market
  • The types of products you sell
  • Your business name
  • Your color palette
  • Your font pairings
  • Your brand ‘voice
  • Visual elements (logo, profile pic, banners)
  • Packaging and labels
  • The unboxing experience
  • Product photography
  • Website sections
  • Customer service
  • Your e-commerce platform

And you better believe that every one of those topics is covered in the DIY Skin Care Business Branding Guide – extensively.

“It is worth 10 times the cost. Or more.”

“I’ve been in business over 35 years and I have gleaned information in this book – quite a bit – that I have never learned…and I research. A lot. And have hired MULTIPLE professionals. This is AMAZING information and a LOT of it. It is worth 10 times the cost. Or more.”
Terri

“It gives you confidence.”

 “The Business Branding Guide provides insight into how to think about the business and how to carry it out successfully. It gives you confidence. I would recommend the branding book who is interested to start a business. The format and the layout were very methodical and easy to follow.”

“Extremely comprehensive and well worth the purchase.”

 “I purchased Christine’s Branding Guide and Social Media Calendar. Both were extremely comprehensive and well worth the purchase. The branding guide helped me identify who my company was, how to choose colors for my brand, and define what my brand and niche are. The social media calendar is a must-have! It contains everything you need to be able to create and manage your social media posting schedule. It comes with suggestions, skin care-related holidays, and a rotation for when to post certain things. Thank you!”

“Valuable and insightful for anyone who has an existing or potential business.”

 “Due to ongoing health issues, I’ve learned about toxic exposure from cosmetic products, which has led to the creation of a skincare brand that will potentially develop into a community social enterprise. These resources are clear, concise, and contain valuable and insightful information for anyone who has an existing or potential skincare business. I’m currently gathering items to stage a photo shoot for the website and found the product photography section extremely helpful with many great tips.”

Build with LONG-TERM Success in Mind

“To begin creating skin care products that you’re proud of and then to get that fire inside to turn them into your livelihood…

It is beyond exciting to anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit. It’s a huge step towards making a life that YOU love and that YOU are in charge of.

But launching your business and listing those products before fully fleshing out your brand only means that you’re putting off a successful dream business even longer.

Going from step A to Z and skipping major steps in between are so incredibly obvious to potential customers.

If you take the time now to think about your ENTIRE business and how it will all work together, you will save MORE time and have MORE success in the long run…which is the whole point of this guide.”

“I’m Christine Glaser, and I have been making natural skin care products to sell online and teaching others to do the same since 2012.

I’m a certified aromatherapist, essential oil specialist, and organic skin care maker with over a decade of experience in e-commerce business and coaching.

The tools and strategies in this ebook are the EXACT ONES I used to grow my own handmade skincare businesses on Etsy, Shopify, Wix, Pattern, Squarespace, and Facebook.

I’m thrilled to offer you my years of experience and education so that we can work together to fill the world with natural, safe products that contribute to overall wellness.

“Exactly what you need to get started and to keep going!”

“I’ve purchased and successfully used all of the skincare resources! It’s so overwhelming when learning to make and sell natural skincare, but these resources are exactly what you need to get started and to keep going!  As my business grows, I often refer back to Branding Business Guide to make sure I’m on the right track.  The hashtag lists are a godsend! Literally takes the guesswork out of what to use on socials.  The recipe book is so easy to follow and makes amazing products that my customers love! And the social media calendar is perfectly easy to follow and use.”
