I have just updated the Solaris elixir webpage, with three new pictures and a new banner. Please let me know what you think about them 🙂
I am still using amber glass dropper bottles for the Solaris Elixir grande 1 oz (full) size. I have a few more of the amber rounds shown in the pictures, and I also have a lot of amber 1 oz bottles that are more ‘angled’–which look like the amber ones that I use for the Terra and Luna Elixirs, but bigger. So it may be a while until I switch to blue glass for the grande size (it is my plan to switch to mostly blue glass, except for a couple products like the perfume petite vials that are in clear glass, and the toners & unscented Dreams & unscented Buttercremes which are in PET plastic).
Once I switch to blue glass for the grande (full) elixirs, prices may or may not go up a little to cover the change to blue glass (I need to recalculate to figure out by how much etc or if I can absorb it or not), but the switch probably is not going to happen for a while (months) since I have so many amber bottles left.
For the xiao (small) sized Solaris elixirs, I have been packaging them in the blue glass since last month. The blue glass 5 ml bottles cost more than the green glass 5 ml bottles I was using (usually green glass cost more than blue, but the green glass 5 ml bottles were super on sale when I got them, and now my vendor no longer carries them). I thought I could absorb the costs for the Solaris xiao Elixirs, but I just redid my calculations and figured out that I can’t 🙁 The blue glass cost about 50 cents more than what I paid for the green ones. I am very sorry 🙁 but prices on the xiao sized Solaris Elixirs will increase because of it. I will be raising prices for the Solaris xiao sizes on July 1st by 50 cents. Though they are already being shipped in the blue glass, the prices for Bliss and Pangaea xiao 5 ml (small) size will not go up until July.
The Terra and Luna xiao sized elixirs are also being packaged in the 5 ml blue glass bottles. Please note: though I use the same blue glass 5 ml bottles for the Terra and Luna Elixirs, prices for the Terra and Luna xiao sized elixirs will NOT increase, since I am able to absorb the costs on those.
I wish I could also absorb the costs on the Solaris xiao Elixirs but since they are priced so low I can’t 🙁 I am undercharging on them; they are priced lower than what many other companies charge for elixirs/oil based serums (made only with conventional ingredients) even with the price increase. I use a few organic and ethically wild harvested ingredients in them, which cost more than conventional/non-organic ingredients.
But I can absorb the cost of the blue glass on the Terra and Luna xiao elixirs so will not raise prices on Eden, Butterfly, Everlast, and Serenity xiao elixirs.
