    Hi all,

    I am re-visiting this body scrub again after doing some more research. I am unable to obtain simulgen NS in the UK. Can anyone suggest any other suitable polymers for this purpose? The body scrub in questions has a gummy/gooey texture that I am looking to replicate.

    Bobzchemist-Thank you for your input. I did not know this and am shocked yes! Renting shelf space and having employees is a huge deal so I will have to approach boutique stores, salons/spas and trade shows/exhibitions.

    Perry-Thank you for your detailed reply. I agree with you about planning my brand image, marketing story and unique selling point before developing my product. The market is saturated and competition is high and even with an exceptional product, without a great marketing story to back it up no customer will feel compelled to buy. I am looking at other brands for inspiration and am really enjoying the process. I have my work cut out for me!

    Microformulation- Thank you for your reply. My decision to manufacture my own products was because I enjoy the whole process (and to save on costs) and then when and if production orders pick up I would then outsource. I would have to be very watchful and move fast. But I will consider your advice and think about it. Again, it is still early days and a lot of ground has yet to be covered.
