Product Shot of the Month 📸

“We have been on Target shelves for a year and knew we needed to update the packaging to make it pop on shelves more. We did tons of market research and wanted to find a more emotional piece of the girls’ self-care routine that we could tap into because those moments are so powerful. We found the shower had so much emotion tied to it. It’s the place girls turn to in their personal care and self-care routines to relieve stress, to have a mental reset, to boost confidence, and that felt like what we should tap into to connect with the consumer.”

— Sadie Bowler, SadieB co-founder and CEO
