Tried out a
few ways
to
package
them…
We began
our
journey
with Soy
Candles!

3. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
More Candles

4. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Pretty…but too heavy…

5. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Until… we found the perfect way. More is Less.

6. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Cold Processed Soap ain’t what your gramma used to
make…no bacon grease here…these first ones made
with soybean* oil…good to make great soap!
*Not the best thing to eat!

7. A Hunt for a Logo
Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.

8. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Once again pretty but not
exciting enough to
represent.

9. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Meh…still looking…

10. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Not yet…

11. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Almost there…

Packaging, Clean Lines and Sophistication

Moroccan Clay,
Dead Sea Clay & French Green Clay
(during my melt & pour *days)

15. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
From the top… ..to the bottom

16. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Have not seen better packaging for our
insect repellents.
This is the best of the best!

17. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Usually mud is
not something
you want to see.
In this case
here, it’s a
pretty good
thing

18. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Betta Butta Lip Butta!

19. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Things I’ve learned in almost ten years
of making products…

20. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Presentation
learning
curve, not
everyone
wants a
basket…
…well
maybe
a few
might
show
interest
in one.

21. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Sometimes
its best to
follow your
heart and
leave the
suggestions
to the experts
and those
who have
time. Its been
real…so long.
These are
never coming
back.

22. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Fly by nights. Not every person likes every scent,
and those that do are not necessarily going to
buy it no matter how pretty the packaging.

23. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Make products in small batches…you’ll
thank yourself in the long run.

24. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
This is our favorite
poster..
Sometimes you have to
break down and buy
photos, which is much
easier than the
headache of begging
people to take pictures
of their dogs and
giving free doggie
shampoo in return.

25. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Sometimes the
Pomp and Circumstance is just that…
Pomp and Circumstance.

26. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Too much effort and time into making samples that
may or may not be used.

27. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Simple is so much better.

28. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Dead Sea Salt…the Great Skin
Purifier…shhhhh…you didn’t hear it from me.

29. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Give your customers plenty to touch. Ginger Citrus Scrub
with Raw Sugar, usually brings out an unexpected “Yummy!”

30. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
sometimes a little incentive.

31. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
From scratch Avocado Kokum Butter Lotion

32. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Nice displays work well. Ready to go.

33. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Don’t be afraid to
make adjustments.
Avocado Kokum
Butter Lotion.
This packaging had
to change from the
squeeze bottle to jars
because the more
settled the lotion
became the more it
became a thick
cream. Not
necessarily a bad
thing…unless you
specialize in a Kung
Fu Grip.

34. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
End result

35. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
The phases you have to go through with so-so jars.

36. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Parfait body
cream all
from one
batch.
Lola, Livia
and their
sister Lulu
(Lulu
unscented for
those who
can’t deal
with the scent
of her other
sisters.)

37. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
At our place the left overs are
put to good use.

38. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.

39. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Just because they claim their products are made with organic
oils does not make it organic. We can say 85% -95% of
Funmi’s Handmade Natural‘s products are natural…of course
you can see what's in the picture

On the

hour later

phase.
Below…after two days
release from the mold

46. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Drying is what takes 4 – 6 weeks. The orange looking one has
Moroccan Clay. The Greenish looking ones have Dead Sea
Clay. No matter how many times you create soap there are
those times that’s colors will not be the same. Handmade.

47. Funmi's Handmade Naturals, LLC.
Nothing goes to waste. This will be melted down and
hardened again. Later I added
Bamboo Silk and Apricot Seeds.
