Many people have shared the same interest of starting up a business and being their own boss, but are put off with the startup capital that they need. This could be because they can’t afford it or don’t have enough experience to generate the required capital.
However, many online businesses are born because of the easy tools and platforms that are now available to use. Vasarii is the prime example of a small business that has become highly successful in such a short period of time.
Started from the bottom now they’re here
Joshua Spilewski founded the company in 2018, with the motivation to create a company that sells environmentally friendly products that are not only cruelty free, but also made with all natural ingredients. His expertise in creating these products came from his experience of his upbringing as a kid and learning about different traditions and cultures from around the world.
Joshua loves traveling, which gave him the opportunity to meet and interact with different communities and learn about natural remedies that were both effective and eco friendly. The successful entrepreneur understood that there were always alternative options that would help preserve the environment and human life, without negatively harming the globe.
With the fuel that he had to make a change and help out communities, he started up the company with just $500. Once the company was officially open for business in 2019, his sales grew and Vasarii soon became a business that’s doing over six figures in revenue. However, what also made this company even more successful is that the founder of the company has promised to give back to the local communities and charities in Thailand, by donating 10% of their profit to local charities.
Why Thailand?
Their best selling product is nakd. Thai Crystal Deodorant, which is made in Thailand and the main ingredient is natural mineral salt. Therefore, instead of just taking the naturally produced resources Thailand has, they also like to donate money towards the communities and help them in every way.
Vasarii donates money to several charities and examples of the charities that are based in Thailand are Pete’s Mission, Kwah Dao and Pure Blue Foundation. The charities that they have chosen actually help towards protecting and preserving the marine habitats, helping refugee children and animal sanctuaries that have rescued animals.
The products they sell
Vasarii is an American personal care & cosmetics company that specialises in selling products that are suitable for people with sensitive skin and even help prevent BO. Their main deodorant helps fight the bacteria that clogs up your pores and prevents the cause of odor that we all hate. Their deodorants are known to prevent BO from your underarms for up to 24 hours and never stain your clothing. Right now they sell mineral salt stick deodorants that are suitable for both men and women, but they will be releasing an environmentally friendly mineral salt spray-on deodorant in January 2021.
They don’t use ingredients such as adverse aluminum or any other chemicals that harm the skin, they never test on animals and their packaging is recyclable. Not only that, but the deodorant is easy to use after having a shower, since you can just roll it on for 60 seconds in order to prevent any possible bacteria that creates odors.
What’s the company’s goal?
Vasarii as a company has the aim to become as big as Unilever or Procter and Gamble, except they will only sell environmentally friendly products that are cruelty free and all natural. Even though they have hit their target goals as a small business, they wish to expand in the future and continue to contribute towards the sustainable business industry, which is currently trending.
The founder stated, “Customers will be able to trust buying their personal care products under the Vasarii brand as we will only carry or sell products that are cruelty-free, all natural and environmentally friendly.”
Vasarii has an online store on their website where customers from around the world can buy from them directly. New customers can also receive a 10% coupon code if they sign up to the company’s newsletter and they have a blog that helps customers stay up to date with the latest news about environmental issues.
