Today we’d like to introduce you to Alisha Wendell.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I have been a product junkie all of my life and searched aimlessly for the best products for my sensitive and problematic skin. When I began nearing my thirties, I began researching a different approach to healthy looking skin.
My motivation at the time was inspired by the desire to become a mother, and I wanted to clean up my routine by limiting the amount of chemicals I was taking in on a daily basis. I understood and practiced the idea of feeding our bodies with healthy, wholesome foods fresh from the earth rather than foods full of preservatives.
I realized that the same should go for our skin, after all, it is our body’s largest organ. I began making a few products for myself and noticed a huge difference in the way my skin looked and felt. After doing lots of research and coming up with some unique creations I could call my own, I shared some basic skin care products and body lotions with family and friends. The feedback was great, as was the request for more products. It was then that Avapure was born.
Avapure has grown a lot in the past eight years. I have continued doing a lot of ingredient research and experimenting with new recipes. Avapure now has a full line of skin care and body care products perfect for all ages. Using minimally processed all-natural and organic ingredients, Avapure products will feed your skin with much-needed vitamins and minerals. Avapure’s product line will lead to healthier skin, which is something we can all smile about. Simple. Pure. Avapure.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Considering I am the single operator in the shop- it has been relatively smooth. Growing pains are where things get tricky. Avapure is a side business to my full-time gig as a Reading Specialist. I also have two young children and try to balance like crazy the working mom/ stay at home mom roles.
When business is booming, I have to work like superwoman to make sure orders get out on time, and customers are happy. I have a great system set up in my private kitchen and organization has been key to keeping the process running smoothly.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Avapure – what should we know?
Avapure offers small-batch artisan bath and body products crafted with only the finest natural ingredients – perfect for the eco-beauty-conscious.
Our goal is to provide effective products made with pure ingredients while keeping our business practices sustainable and your beauty routine simple. Avapure uses wholesome, nutrient-rich herbs, oils, butters, and essential oils, most of which are organic. Avapure offers many Vegan products as well.
Avapure offers a full, extensive line of skin care products with very specific plant-based ingredients to target various skincare needs. Avapure also has body care products that cover head to toe. Natural deodorants, lotion, sugar scrubs, lip products and a specialty line for babies and children. Avapure is different from other companies because my intentions and purpose in developing safe, non-toxic products have not gotten away from me.
My goal is to provide affordable, high-quality products for everyone. I also try to educate others on the importance of avoiding products containing harmful ingredients. Even if Avapure is not a good fit for them, encouraging customers to seek out clean, eco-friendly products are important to me.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
I am extremely passionate and love to learn. This has helped me create and recreate various products in our product line with the goal of offering top quality products with the best ingredients.
My desire to offer green beauty products at an affordable price is such great motivation. If it is not good enough for my children, then it is not good enough for my customers.
