The Story Behind the Product
If you‘re like most of us, you’ve experienced the post 9/11 headache of traveling through airports and the challenges of carrying your toiletries with you on a trip. You know the drill… if you put your products in a checked bag using the travel kits currently available, you worry the whole way that your products might crack and leak all over your clothing during transit. If you hand carry it on the plane, you worry that your products will be confiscated by airport security. It really is a no-win situation for all of us, but even more-so for female travelers and the cosmetics industry.
The results of a rather unscientific survey revealed that the average female uses between 7-10 products daily during their morning and evening skin care routines. The products used may vary in size and price, but the one thing they all have in common is that none of it comes in a travel size! For female travelers and their skin care habits, there is no organized solution currently on the market that makes it easy for them to take their products with them on a trip. They either leave it all at home, cobble together some solution that does not work or take full sizes in their checked bag and hope that none of it leaks during transit, AND that it doesn’t push them over the 50 pound per bag limit imposed by the airlines. Of course, it goes without saying that if they try to carry it on board, it may be confiscated.
