So fellas, what is it you want from your skin care? what sort of products do you use? Would you feel more comfortable using something with strong ethics? What sort of scents do you like? Any information is good

I would mainly use hand cream and lipbalm. Not a fan of heavy scents because if the type of work I do but open to trying other stuff, probably as testers first and then maybe the full-size product.

I would more likely fund for a basket of testers than one or 2 full sized products and then buy the ones I like and use.

No heavy scent, easily absorbed general moisturiser cream (general meaning for using on face/hands/elbows etc). Organic preferably, hypoallergenic (whatever that really means but no sting after shaving and such), travel size options.

I like Pilsbury's idea. I was in Boots on Saturday with Kate helping me buy replacement makeup for the stuff I chucked out (at least 15 yrs old). I hasten to add I really dont wear any makeup at all except about twice a year when I get invited to posh do's, and then I only wear mascara and a touch of light foundation.

I'd never realized that you were a bloke.

Light and easily absorbed moisturiser/shaving balm, sample sizes are handy for travelling/nights away, lip balm, and a light but intensive hand lotion, again, no heavy or strong scents.

I've had good feedback on the historic shaving soap recipes. Not sure if soap is on your list but there does seem to be a current vogue amongst the chaps for 'old fashioned' shaving gear, so you may want to add an up to date shaving soap that fits your other parameters to the list. I also get asked for moustache wax a lot, I really must get one certified for sale. There may be wider calls for hair taming stuff based on that?

I plan to add Cp soap but it will be a few month into the business so it has time to cure. I want to avoid flooding the site with soap though.
A shaving soap would be a good thing though.
