BAO • Making Skin Happy

BAO stands for Beth’s Aromatherapy Organic skincare and Beth founded BAO.

Beth experienced very sensitive skin during treatment for Crohn’s disease.

The products Beth created are designed to be gentle, natural and uncomplicated.

I bought BAO because 1 day I ate an organic apple 🍎 It tasted amazing and that made me think, if I this is so great for my insides, I should really be thinking about my outsides and what I put on my skin.

Then I googled organic skincare Poole and BAO popped up. I became a customer and I loved the products and the ethos so much when Beth said she was selling BAO and moving to Bali, I bought the company from Beth.

The plan for BAO is to keep making and promoting natural skincare without compromising our values.

So now you know where BAO began 🥰

That is just part of the story to be fair.

I am at Canford School on this Sunday - 16th August.

It is a 2 day event but I am just there on Sunday.

It is the Canford Summer Fair which is a fun day for all the family. There are over 100 stalls, food, drink, live music and kids entertainers so looks like it could be fun.

It is from 10am till 5pm. Adults - £5, under 16’s - £1.

Is any one else going?

Yes, I made the BAO hat!

Roses, chamomile, calendula, lavender, geranium… all beautiful ingredients you’ll find across BAO.

Because for me, natural skincare is about all the lovely, hardworking ingredients that are in the pot.

Ingredients chosen because they each have a job to do — to calm, nourish, soften, hydrate and generally make your skin happy.

Although admittedly, they look pretty fabulous on a hat too. 😂🌼

What you put on your skin matters.

What is your favourite skincare ingredient?

This time last week it was all to play for 🥰

I was v apprehensive going to as a Trader.

I was very unsure about how organic skincare would go down at a festival 🙈 but it ended up rocking it.

I didn’t see too much of the festival because I did spend a lot of time hanging out in the .co.uk Tent.

We honestly had a blast 🥰 Much discussion regarding the best sellers, best outfit, best lunch, trolley 🛒 gate etc.

This video is trying to show what we all thought of it.

My word for me would be learning and I Iove learning 😊

Can you think of 1 word to describe your day today ?

I’ll start with exhausting 🤣 Any more?

I had a rubbish Thursday at Camp Festival. I had worked 14 hours and only had 1 sale.

I posted my story to Instagram, and what happened next was basically just wonderful.

Everybody in the Makers Market, they rallied round, so I had loads of top tips and advice, and created me this amazing sign.

Did it improve sales? I am not sure. I find it hard to tell because I wonder what sales would have been on the rest of the weekend without the sign. It wasn’t in a test environment.

However, what it did improve massively was my heart and my head. It gave me such a super boost to think that everybody was willing me on to win, and that this super sign had been created just for me. And I loved it.

I love the sign so, so much. I actually saw Merak create the sign, and he did it with such flare, grace and ease.

Thank you .co.uk makers for letting me be part of the Makers Market and for your constant encouragement and support which is amazing 🥰

Thank you and everyone there.

Do you think a sign makes a big difference?
