Bath & Body Works, LLC, is an American retail store under the L Brands (formerly Limited Brands) umbrella. It was founded in 1990 in New Albany, Ohio and has since expanded across the United States and Canada. It specializes in shower gels, lotions, fragrance mists, perfumes, candles, and home fragrances.
If you love making soaps or shower gels, a bath and body business might seem like a natural fit. Creativity and a love of beauty products, however, aren't sufficient to make your business succeed. You'll need a business plan and access to financing, but these steps alone aren't sufficient. To create a truly successful bath and body business, you have to offer something other businesses don't.
Starting a business making and selling your own bath products can be profitable. The key to succeeding is finding the perfect formula and then finding the right way to market and sell your product. Handmade soaps sell well in beauty boutiques, at craft fairs and in small gift shops. You can also consider selling the products online. The bath products will appeal to a wide market. Working from you home will allow you to slowly increase your business and possibly continue at your current job while doing it.
