AS CONSUMERS demand more healthy and ethical natural hair and skin care products, the sector is becoming an increasingly popular option for business start-ups.
Natalie Hall is one such entrepre­neur who is making her venture a success. You cannot miss Natalie Hall when she walks into a room. This formidable woman means business! One look at her and it all makes sense. This is skin to die for!
The surprising thing about her business is that it was not something she had set her heart on doing.
She was going through a difficult time personally with a broken relationship, children to raise on her own, and a house to move out of.
It was in the midst of these trials that she decided she needed a holiday to sort herself out.
During her holfday, Natalie kept getting compliments about the condition of her skin and people just kept asking for advice.
Her mother suggested that Natalie produce her home made products on a commercial basis to raise some much needed income until she decided what she wanted to do with her life.
'That is how Salute Skincare was born' explains Natalie. 'I knew my mother was right so I had to create a range that was high quality, professional and affordable’.
Natalie partnered with a US laboratory. 'They that came up with the ingredients and helped with the manufacturing side of things to ensure that we adhered to the strict regulatory standards and my mother proyided the much needed finance.’
'It is very important that you become financially independent as a woman and mother' she continued. 'It's about giving yourself permission to dream and then doing the work to makes it happen. It also helps that my mother is my biggest cheerleader’.
'There are always opportunities to set up a business based on something you do everyday' she concludes.
'I am now living a fulfilled life that not only supports my famify but gives back to society without damaging it. This is a family affair. My youngest daughter now wants me to launch a coconut range for children. Taking the leap of faith is definitely worth it:
