Quaintrelle Girls and Bathing
Hello everyone! I've decided to open an online store catering to, naturally, quaintrelles, princesses, lolitas, and lovelies of all types. The product I am beginning to produce now are handmade, organic & vegan bath salts. Since this is my target audience, I would like a bit of feedback on this topic, if you would please spare a few moments to help ( ... )

My first suggestion is some proofreading, so here you go: "fatique" should be "fatigue"and then "moisturizing".
1. I think your options are very nice. You might just start with these and then expand your options as you begin to sell the salts, or just make a few of each and then produce more of the ones that are selling. It's easier to make them in big batches normally, I know. >_< But this might just help so you don't waste supplies on options that aren't as popular. You could eventually even expand to do matching soap bars! A calming bath with chamomile might be a good option to have because that's often what people look for in a bath. I'm sure that something with rose would be popular. Write up a couple of really royal-sounding descriptions, with wealth in mind. The Old-Fashioned Spice Bath sounds quaint and exotic, which is good ( ... )

Chamomile is a good idea! If I were to make a calming bath, I was thinking lavender and vanilla- but those are such popular options, I think chamomile may be a better choice. Thank you for that!
I think that royal-sounding descriptions would be very interesting and really go along with the theme of my shop.

I like the options, and they all sound really nice. A soothing option, like chamomile or lavender, would be great (I am not a big vanilla person - I personally don't like anything that smells like baked goods or fruit, except citrus). I think the jars you described sound good; I would probably buy a gift-size to test, and if I liked it, I'd get a bigger one. You could always do a gift set of all the little ones for a set price.

Buying stuff in the US from Australia can be a total pain, the postage/shipping cost is never clear, If you can make it clear I would be more likely to buy there, otherwise I usually stick to Australian sites.
A glass bottle would add horribly to the cost of shipping. I would suggest a pouch, perhaps as an option as well as the glass bottles.
Packaging and presentation of your website is so important, a chance to really be selling the feeling/image of the product. Also ease of use of the website. I hate having to click heaps of times to get to the products! Same with other friends I know, too.

3. I love nice packaging, the prettier the better. My bath products are out on "display" generally, so I want them to look nice. I prefer jars and bottles.
Really, I'm in agreement with everyone elses points.

You seem to have covered the scents quite nicely. (My fav is the Spice bath).
I'd vote a fancy border, and writing of the name, and your name so we can remember where we got it from (salts can stay in the cupboard for awhile sometimes).
5 use, definitely! Or more!
1 use for sampling.
I can't comment on price, because I don't know how much oil/what quality you'll be using, but looking in Etsy should give you a good idea of competitive pricing.
I much prefer bottles, but since I'm in Oz, I guess pouches, for OS shipping at least.
