Sometimes It’s Just Not Worth It
I love luxury, unique products and it makes it even better when the product is made from fair trade ingredients.
However, sometimes cost can be an issue!
For several years now we have offered our Umoja product line which includes soap and whipped body cream.
These products are made with fair trade virgin coconut oil, unrefined shea butter and kpangnan. They are also naturally scented with essential oil blends.
Over the years the cost of the above raw ingredients have increased dramatically resulting in us having to raise our prices. This increase in price has knocked this particular product line into the stratosphere as far as pricing goes.
So while using fair trade ingredients might be well and good it does not benefit anyone if the end price is so high that many people will opt for a lower priced item.
We have made the financial decision to revamp our Umoja product line replacing all fair trade ingredients with the food grade ingredients used in all of our other products. This will bring the end price down very close to what our other soap and creams cost with the exception of the Imara set. Imara is made with a complex blend of essential oils and tends to run slightly higher in cost than fragrance oils but we should be able to bring the price down so it’s affordable!
All of the Umoja products will continue to be scented naturally with essential oil blends!
I love this collection (Imara being my fav!) and look forward to being able to lower our costs so you can enjoy them without having to take out a second mortgage!
We hope to have the new pricing in effect in the next few weeks.
