We really did a lot of research before introducing any products to our guests.  The products have to compliment the guests experience & they need to be unique to Wax’d.

Featured Retailer: American Bather

The spotlight on our fabulous wholesale partners continues! Next up is another great online retailer, American Bather. If a huge assortment of natural and organic bath & body products is what you want, this is the website for you! Owner Camille Walker has hand-picked a line of products from manufacturers all across the US to bring to you a variety of products each unique to their geographical location and botanical selection. Camille answers our questions on what makes her online bath & body business different from the rest...

 
1. Tell us about American Bather.

American Bather is an online retailer which specializes in natural and organic bath and body products which are made in the United States. We retail from a dozen different American companies from all across our great country and are proud to support the American economy by keeping all business within the United States.Our selection of ecologically sound skin care and bathing products are a responsible choice for a healthy lifestyle. It is our aim to inform our customers of the benefits of choosing natural and organic products over the mainstream synthetic products. 

American Bather founder Camille Walker and her husband Brian

2. What makes American Bather unique?

American Bather is different because our focus is on American-made products. When we chose the companies which we would retail from our criteria was clear; they had to be American companies and they had to have a unique feature which would intrigue our customers. For example, The Grapeseed Company was one of our first choices because of their unique products which use Vinotherapy, they are an American company and because of their green focus on their products. All of the companies we retail have unique features which provide our customers with a spectrum of American-made products that are will please any palette.

3. How have you taken the initiative to become a greener business?

In founding our business we looked for the best green ways to do business. We use only recycled materials for packaging and encourage our customers to recycle the containers they receive. We give the customers the option of emailing them their receipt instead of printing one, which has had a great response. We also choose manufacturers which use recyclable containers or recycled material in their packaging.

4. What is your best selling Grapeseed Co product?

Our best selling Grapeseed Company product is the Mojito Man Shaving Gel, the scent of lime and mint is refreshing and appealing to both genders. The Grapeseed Company's Mojito Man line is the only line for men that we carry and it has surpassed expectations. We have found that men are happy to find something just for them but both genders love this line. 

 

5. What is your personal favorite Grapeseed Co product?

It's hard to pick just one, but if forced we would say that our personal favorite of The Grapeseed Company is the Summer Crisp Chardonnay bar soap, the scent is like a summer day and is so refreshing to the senses.

Featured Retailer: The Santa Barbara Company

We continue the spotlight on our valued wholesale partners in 2013. Next up is another company native to Santa Barbara. In fact, they truly embrace all things Santa Barbara and are aptly named The Santa Barbara Company! The Santa Barbara Company is an online market featuring the best from local artists, artisans and merchants. They carry everything from lavender infused jam to local organic olive oil.  This is a great go-to website if you want  a slice of Santa Barbara to keep or share with someone you love. Operations Manager, Caroline Law, explains a little more about this fabulous online business...

 1.  Tell us about your online store... The Santa Barbara Company is an online store selling products created by fantastic regional artists, artisans and merchants. We are a mother-daughter duo and with the help of family and friends, we have launched this company. On the site we have a blog and a feature section for our vendors. We are still learning, but it is always fun and rewarding. 

2. What makes your store unique/different? We focus exclusively on small regional businesses. This means that you are directly supporting the innovators and artisans in our area. The concept for the website spawned out of an appreciation for all that the area has to offer and the wonderful people behind the products. Since we launched just a few months ago, we have developed strong relationships (and friendships) with so many of our vendors.  Our goal is to help people discover the incredible local products on the central coast. 
3. How have you taken initiative to become a greener business? Local is ultimately an environmental cause, as much as it is a social or cultural one. When we choose local, we reduce the distance our products must travel to reach us. But we believe that even for our out of state customers, our products are still an environmentally positive choice. We source environmentally friendly and organic products whenever we can and encourage our vendors to provide more environmentally conscious products. Our company's goal is to bring the convenience of shopping online into the realm of the local, organic and artisanal. 

4.  What is your best selling Grapeseed product? Close tie between the Harvest Crush Syrah Wine Bar Soap and the Sweet Lips lip balm. They're both fabulous.  
5.  What is your personal favorite Grapeseed product? Probably the Mojito Man Shower Set. We gave it to a friend for Christmas and he is incredibly smitten with it. He says the smell is subtle but it stays with him throughout the day and smells even better on than in the bottle. We think so too!
