Totally Balmy was dreamed into existence by Sharon Holmes who had an addiction to lip balm, and a resistance to using commercial baby products on her first-born child. Lip balm and baby balm were the first products she ever made.
“Even though I had a business degree, I knew little about running a business.”
It was a steep learning curve for Sharon who taught herself everything from formulating recipes, blending essential oils, making cold process soap, using Xero, marketing, finding suppliers, gauging what the market wants, and working out prices.
“My business started due to my family's skincare needs, but along the way my love and passion for sustainability grew.”
Totally Balmy NZ sells a range of handmade skincare and zero waste products.
“My products help you to reduce the chemicals in your skincare, while decreasing the amount of single use plastic you use in your daily life.
In the last 12 months I have made big strides towards more sustainable business practices. All parcels I send are home compostable and recyclable, I buy from NZ based suppliers where possible, and I support an NZ based initiative called 'Carbon Click' to help offset carbon emissions."
