We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Whitney Thompson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Whitney, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about serving the underserved.
Serving the underserved to me, in my business means great quality skincare should not break the bank! I believe just like great healthcare everyone should be able to afford great skincare! Spending hundreds to thousands on harmful skincare products that don’t work is a thing of the past!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
My name is Whitney Thompson and I am the founder and owner of The Honey Kiss Collection by Whitney. The Honey Kiss Collection is a 100% natural skincare line. We not only specialize in skincare but we also have a body care, yoni care and mens care line as well. We pride ourselves on being able to formulate and handmake our products. The Honey Kiss Collection was created because I was tired of going into retail stores or purchasing over the counter skincare products that irritated my skin, were expensive, didn’t provide results and contained harmful chemicals. I just knew that there were other people in the world feeling the same as I was, so I decided to create a skincare line that would be affordable, that would have quality and natural ingredients, that would create healthy skin. Every since I was a teen I was fascinated with skincare. I would always make sure to wash my face twice a day no matter how late it was I was washing my face before bed. As I got a little older I got into loving makeup and that’s when my face started to break out. The skincare products that I once loved were doing nothing for my acne, or dark spots. I can bet you I’ve tried every skincare line that was available on the shelves at your local retail store. However I can say there were two products I did like. As years went on i realized the harmful chemicals that were in those products and why my face burned when I used those products. I’m glad I am able to provide the world with great quality, affordable, and safe products. We provide products to help with acne, eczema, dry skin, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, razor bumps, Vaginal Dryness, BH, Vaginal Health, Sexual Arousal, and much much more!
I come from a small town in North Alabama called Sheffield, were people in surrounding areas don’t have high hopes for us. We are always the underdogs, and they don’t expect much to come from our city, but time and time again we have proven them wrong. Sheffield is filled with hardworking great an successful people and I’m proud to say i am one of them!
Okay – so how did you figure out the manufacturing part? Did you have prior experience?
One of the best things that I love about this business is that I formulate and make the products! It’s so important to me to be hands on in this process of the business because I want my customers to know that I care about whats going into the products. I’ve just always felt like if you’re not hands on how can you tell your customers about each ingredient and how they work if you’re not the one formulating the products. You might have heard that parabens and other chemicals in your skin care are bad if ingested, but they can’t penetrate your skin so you don’t have anything to worry about. WRONG!! The fact is, much of what we place on our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream. That’s why our products contain 100% natural ingredients, NO PARABENS and NO HARSH CHEMICALS!
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
What helped me build my reputation in the skincare market is being consistent with my brand, having great customer service and being professional.
