NEWS RELEASE
OC HAIR BATH AND BODY CO.
***************************
One of Canada’s only commercially branded cosmetic manufacturers located right here in northern Ontario, OC Hair, Bath and Body Co. and Mountain Men Beard Co. are proud to announce that we are expanding our chain of OC retail concept stores to southern Ontario. The first store is slated to open June 15, 2019 in Peterborough.
Just three years ago, an electrical fire wiped out our entire business, and we are now officially back to where it was back then and now on track to expanding our fresh cosmetics to southern Ontario cities with our first corporate store being located in Peterborough, Ont.
We are hoping to have a third store opened up in the GTA by fall/ winter of 2019.
After our devastating fire, we were set back as we lost all our equipment, materials, systems and websites. We have changed a number of recipes to make them as natural and safe as possible (95-98 per cent + natural).
With our new equipment we will be able to process faster, much more efficiently and our shelves will always be full. We will now be able to keep up with the growing global demand. Initially after the fire we were filling each bottle by hand, one at a time using a plastic bag and then weighing it twice. Now our recipes will be made the same way, but we will rely on automated filling machines to fill upwards to 30 bottles per minute, 1,500-1,800 bottles per hour, and a total reduction of plastic of upwards to 70 per cent in just the last year.
With the new stores, some minor changes will occur for the better. A user friendly VIP reward system will be replaced with a cash-back option for immediate redemption, saving our VIP reward program members even more each time they come in. Our bottle refill program will be switched to a bottle replacement program, reducing further plastic being sent for recycling, reducing further pollution. Our bottles can be returned in any store and after 12 returned bottles, we will hand you a $10 gift card!
We have also expanded our services to offer on site graphic design, bottle screen printing, bottle heat transfers and bottle sanitization to complement our current brand and processing requirements. As a manufacturer we manufacture our own three brands (OC Hair Bath and Body, Botanical Essential oils, Mountain Men Beard Co.) but also offer custom manufacturing and branding solutions for cosmetic brands, spa’s and salons, and promotional companies all over the world.
We are excited to be one of Canada’s only branded cosmetic manufacturer’s and continue to provide #nobscosmetics.
Sault Ste Marie, we are YOUR cosmetic brand.
