Turning a job loss into a successful skincare business

Struggling to find a pampering face mask that’s right for your skin? Introducing Perl Cosmetics’ British Pink Clay Mask that you can adapt to suit dry, combination and oily skin with just a few at-home tweaks.  

What is unique about our British Pink Clay Mask is not only do we use simple formulations and 100% natural ingredients, but it is also customisable. Being a DIY clay mask with an illuminating oil, our customers can be their own mixologists. Mixing the clay with water themselves at home they can then adapt the mask to suit their skin’s needs with the addition of the illuminating oil. They no longer have to worry about the clay being too oily, too drying or not the right texture.

Not only is the mask great for targeting skincare needs, with ingredients such as kaolin clay (for detoxifying pores and ideal for sensitive, dry and mature skin types), pearl powder (for illuminating and brighten tired and dull complexions) and pomegranate seed oil (which works to calm and soothe irritated skin) it also turns to a cute pink colour when mixed. It makes the perfect gift for anyone who needs to stop, unwind and take some ‘me-time’, while concentrating on their skincare needs.

It’s no wonder we have sold out twice and have over 120 5-star reviews including:

“I absolutely LOVE this face mask combo! I’ve been using this weekly since I purchased it a few months ago and it’s a gorgeous mask to use. It’s great that there are mixing dishes available to purchase too! This is definitely going to be a face mask I will regularly purchase using the refills available to buy, too! Thanks Isobel for your amazing lil business!”

“This face mask has changed my skin! I’ve always suffered with oily, spot prone skin but I’ve now used this mask every week for the last 6 weeks and I’ve already noticed a HUGE difference. I’m not longer breaking out in huge spots, if I do get one, it’s a tiny one that goes the next day. My skin is glowing.. I’m no longer feeling conscious not wearing make up. Just buy the mask and oil. You will NOT regret it!!”

“Saw this on TikTok and immediately bought it (I’m a sucker for impulse buying) what can I say!!! It arrived this morning (beautifully packaged) and straight away I tried it while sitting at my desk to WFH (good job I had no zoom meetings) My face is G L O W I N G actually GLOWING! How amazing is this product!! So easy to use, I will 100% be recommending this to all my friends and family!”

“Absolutely love this mask … in the past when I’ve used other ones I’ve been sceptical as to whether they actually do anything, but this one left my skin feeling and looking amazing!”

About the Founder: 

 

The British Pink Clay Mask is the first product to come from my new company, Perl Cosmetics, which I launched shortly after losing my job in May 2020 due to the pandemic.  

 

Rather than seeing my job loss as a setback I’ve seen it as an opportunity to allow me to turn my passion into a business – and, for me, that’s always been skincare. 

 

Having worked as a beauty advisor for Benefit and completed a degree in Biology, the science behind glowing skin has forever been something that has fascinated me. 

 

Working in a lab is second nature to me, so, in May 2020, I decided to do some research and bring my vision to life, turning my two passions – skincare and science – into a career.

 

Currently, Perl Cosmetics is a small business run from my home in Hertfordshire. We sold out our first batch of masks in 4 weeks, and recently sold out of our second (much bigger) restock. We’ve seen a huge success on TikTok growing 80,000 followers in just a few months and our hero product is quickly becoming a cult.  

 

I formulate and hand make each mask myself in small batches. Plus, I’m also entirely self-funded, with just me running the show! I’ve taught myself everything from website creation to marketing to sourcing supplies – but I’m absolutely loving the ride.
