One of the main reasons we chose the specific shop was because it was located near one of the main entrances where parking was free and the access boom was located a few metres from the shop. However, this changed after a month or so of moving into the shop. The council have requested the boom to be closed. With this being done traffic or feet have minimized drastically.

The decision was not an easy one because Desiree has a regular client base and her shop is truly beautiful, but unfortunately in retail location is key.

The shop will close the 1st of February.

Desiree is offering her clients a less 50% SALE on all products.

Yvonne, the current shop manager will be the representative for the  Cape Town area until we have found another shop.

We are looking at a new development a couple of kilometers from Bayside as well as Constantia Kloof and Stellenbosch.

To all of our Cape Town clients you are welcome to order on-line.

Thank you for your valued support!

I on the other hand, well that’s an entirely different story.

Barend cycles for the Vodacom team. After much begging from him – to me – to make an anti – chafe cream. I finally gave in and started working on formulas. The first few formula’s were an absolute disaster to say the least, however after a lot of trial and error I can honestly say that I’ve perfected the formula and we can now launch an awesome product.

To mention just a few of the ingredients : shea butter (rehydration), almond oil (essential fatty acids), glycerine and cocoa butter (anti-oxidant). I’ve added a blend of tea tree, lavender and geranium essential oils.

Tea Tree is an awesome healing oil. It has so many anti-viral and anti-fungal benefits, perfect when one thinks  of the amount of sweat that is built up during  sports.

Lavender also promotes healing and encourages new skin growth. Just what one needs when your skin has been chaffed away.

Geranium is an anti-bacterial and anti-microbial keeping you safe from infections. It also regenerates new cells.

A few months ago our cream was put to the test by the Vodacom cycling team. They participated in the Joburg 2C race. For those that do not know about the race. It requires the cyclist to sit on his / her b-hind for at least 6 hours a day, for 9 days. A total of 923km.

I am thrilled to announce that our Anit-Chafe Cream was given the thumbs up by the entire team. (thank you ladies and gents)

This spectacular product is currently available at our Flagship Shop. You are also welcome to order the cream from any one of our distributors.

The cream is safe to use on babies delicate bum, to heal a nasty bum rash.

Our naturally therapeutic products do not contain SLES (sodium laurel sulphate), mineral oil, parabens or harsh chemicals.

I believe our clients have the right to ask and the right to know.

How do we determine the shelf life of our products?
The  product are sent for stability and micro testing. It takes upto three months to test a product. The products go through various phases of testing.

Do you use preservatives?
Yes. We use natural preservatives such as citric acid, cocoa butter and various essential oils.

Do you disclose all of your ingredients on the labels?
Most definitely, it is law. There are rules and regulations that have to be adhered to.

Do you make all of your own formulas?
I do but I have help from a medical lab and an organic skin care manufacturer.  I also have assistance from a chemist.

What do u find most stressful in the industry.
Trying to get exposure in magazines and or product reviews etc. Unfortunately its not about the best product but all about who you know. So many false promises are made and it hurts. Professionalism seems to take a back seat with some I’m afraid. I am however very persistent and will conquer because I believe in our product whole heartedly and in time the editors will too.

Are your products tested on animals?
No! we test only on human beings. I have an endless amount of guinea pigs and I am always looking for more volunteers. My kids make great guinea pigs for our baby and kids range.

Is packaging / branding important.
Hell, yes. I believe simple is better.

Do you dislike any of your fragrances?
Uhmm, I’d be lying if I said no. BUT its not all about me you know but about what our clients want and like.

Do you use your own products?
Uhmm, yes and so does my hubby and my kids. I started the kids and baby range because of my children. I was tired of the crap out there.

Are your products organic?
We may not claim certified organic as we have not registered with the association. We do however purchase some of our ingredients from organic suppliers. Our products are however Naturally Therapeutic and Eco Friendly.

Are your containers biodegradable?
Yes

How do you handle feedback or criticism?
With open arms, hence the reason I have a good product / brand. I am open to change, opinions etc.

What is your most popular product at the moment?
Is that a fair question? They are all popular. Our eczema range booms, I battle to keep up with production at times lol. Sometimes I slave through the night to ensure their are products on the shelf.

Will you TM?
Yes, its in the pipeline but quite a costly and lengthy process.

Will you expand into “big’ retailers?
No! our product is unique and available to select stores only.

What was your highlight for 2011?
Opening our Cape Town and Pretoria store

Do you test your products PH levels?
Yes, it is vital especially for bubble bath and soap products. You cannot just blend away and hope for the best, you are dealing with people skin, their lives.

Do you use colourants?
Yes, natural mica.

Are your products vegan friendly?
Yes, we use to have bees wax as an ingredient but it has been removed.

Where do you see yourself in the future?
On the map with the big boys.

Are you working on any new formulas or products?
Yes, we launched our anti-chafe cream this week (blog post up soon). We are releasing two new products within the next six months and another within nine months or so.

Do you believe that natural is the only way to go?
Hmmm, I only do natural but if there was a need to use a pharmaceutical product I guess I would.

That is pretty much it. I hope I’ve answered some or all of your questions. Should you have any other questions you would like me to answer you are welcome to drop me a line and I’ll answer them in our next Q and A post.

Alice mentions that her favourite Tranquil Body Treats products are the oatmeal, milk and honey hand mousse and the vanilla body salt scrub.

Thank you for the lovely appraisal.
