Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in skin care but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Brenda Scarborough, Founder of Larkspur Lane Soaps & Sundries, located in Emmett, ID, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I make handcrafted soaps and lotions using minimal skin-loving ingredients that are packaged in eco-friendly packaging. My customers are those 30 to 40-year-olds that are concerned about what they put on their skin and who love to support local small businesses.
Tell us about yourself
I was concerned about what I was putting on my skin, and a lot of products out there are full of bad for your skin ingredients. I decided to go back to school and learn about natural skincare formulation. My motivation comes from knowing that I am providing products to people that are wanting an alternative to what is out there.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Not giving up during the pandemic and being able to sell on multiple platforms.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
As a small business owner, the hardest part is doing all the things!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Know your base.
- Sell on multiple sales channels.
- Have your systems in place.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Just have fun!
