Buddah Skin Cosmetics Growth Fund
My name is Willie Eaton and I am a 27 year old entrepreneur who is ready to take my business to the next level. I started Buddah Skin Cosmetics because of the need and demand for a more natural product line. I suffered from acne and began creating my own product years ago. When others inquired about the product I was using and I shared it was my own they advised I should begin selling my products. In 2020 I decided to do just that. I started my company with 7 products: a rose hydration oil, body scrub, body butter, lip scrub, rose toner, face cream, and natural soaps. Since then I have been able to expand my business by now introducing a children's line called Buddah Baby as well as Buddah Bright which is a natural teeth whitening service. I am excited about all of my current accomplishments and I am looking to expand even further.
Sow A Seed into Buddah Skin Cosmetics Below
With the introduction of my new lines I am now in need of a bigger team. This is where YOU come in. I am looking to raise $250,000 so that I can fulfill the need of jobs within my community. With the increase in workforce development I am able to help with the demand for products from my customers with the increased help. I am also looking to purchase my own building. I want to make an experience of my products. I want my products to be known globally. This is just the beginning. With the funds raised this would be a tremendous help to my business.
