Zhao Feng saw the confused expressions on their faces and thought they didn't know whether these things were useful, so he said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will make these things first and let you try them. If you think they are good, I will promote these things."
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu nodded happily. Of course they believed that the things Zhao Feng created would be very useful.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and directly called some people and asked them to collect flowers. At the same time, he asked Shen Chuchu to buy him a lot of wine.
If you want to make perfume, the best way is to use alcohol extraction, which Zhao Feng has used before.
But the making of foundation and lipstick requires a few other things.
Zhao Feng contacted beekeepers in several counties near the capital and purchased a large amount of beeswax from them.
This beeswax is actually the raw material for making lipstick. It is a kind of wax secreted by bees. Bees often use this beeswax to make their own nests.
At present, this kind of beeswax is not widely used in the market. After all, this kind of beeswax cannot be made into candles, so many beekeepers throw away the beeswax as garbage.
Zhao Feng spent only a small amount of money to buy back a lot of beeswax. He first boiled the beeswax to remove most of the impurities, and then purified and filtered it.
As for the color of the lipstick, Zhao Feng tried a lot and decided to use the red currently used to make rouge. This red is selected from some plant materials and mixed with some red ores after grinding.
Not only is the color bright, but it also has a certain degree of adhesion. After being added to beeswax, the adhesion and smoothness of beeswax are combined to make the color more translucent.
However, beeswax itself has a rather unpleasant smell. For this smell, Zhao Feng chose to mix it with some essential oils. This can also adjust the softness and hardness of the lipstick and prevent it from being too hard.
Zhao Feng quickly produced several lipstick colors. The colors he chose were all the rouge colors that the women of the Zhou Dynasty liked most.
During this process, Zhao Feng used the alcohol to extract a lot of flower essential oils. After diluting these essential oils with alcohol, he made perfume.
Because the production of foundation is even simpler, you only need to use some pearl powder and some natural talc powder to make a foundation.
However, comparing the things used in makeup, Zhao Feng knew that makeup actually includes two parts: makeup and skin care. In this era, there are almost no skin care methods, and even those who wash their faces only use water to wash them.
Although there are some polygonum multiflorum and the like when washing hair, only the simplest Chinese medicinal materials are used for cleaning.
Since Zhao Feng plans to open a beauty salon, skin care is also a very important aspect.
In addition to these lipsticks, Zhao Feng plans to make some soaps and soaps. The soaps are used to wash clothes for ordinary people, while the soaps are specially used to wash the faces and skin care of these women, and then promote some whitening effects, or make the skin whitening. For things like firmness and youthfulness, you will definitely not worry about sales.
No matter in any era, women love beauty very much, and there are no exceptions to this.
And in a real beauty salon, hair style is also a top priority.
Zhao Li used the process of making soap to extract a lot of soap base, and added traditional Chinese medicine ingredients to these soap bases, and then added some aromatic essential oils to create the oldest shampoo.
Seeing these things made by Zhao Feng, Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu couldn't help but be shocked.
The two of them had never seen these things before, and they had never thought that these things could be so useful.
Chen Rou tried to wash her face with the soap made by Zhao Feng. As expected, her skin felt smoother and not as greasy as before.
Shen Chuchu even washed her hair, touched her long hair in surprise, and said to Zhao Feng.
"Husband, this shampoo you made is really useful. I really feel that my hair is softer and it also has a fragrance!"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile and nodded, and said directly to the two of them.
"This is just about skin care and care. When you put on makeup, you will definitely look better!"
Zhao Feng said this and explained to them how to use these cosmetics, and then let them use it freely.
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu tried it on each other. In fact, the makeup products were no different from the rouge, gouache, etc. they used before. However, these products were not only easier to operate, but also after being paired with soap and washed, the skin felt very smooth. It's so refreshing and there's no greasy feeling like before.
Most of those rouge and gouache are formulated with some oils, so although they can ensure their makeup for a certain period of time, it will make their skin very oily, and some even have a lot of skin problems.
Seeing that Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu were very satisfied with the things they made, Zhao Feng smiled happily.
"How is it? Are these things very useful?"
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu nodded vigorously. They had never thought that putting on makeup was such a simple thing. They even did not expect to use this soap and shampoo to take a bath. After washing their hair, washing their bodies also became A thing to enjoy.
You know, in this era, bathing is not a very common thing. Many officials have one day of rest every month, just to allow these officials to take some time to clean themselves.
Otherwise, standing in the court hall would probably stink so much that the emperor would not even want to go to court.
But now with this soap and shampoo, it becomes easier for them to take a bath, and since even the men in the Zhou Dynasty had long hair, the sales of this shampoo and soap will definitely be better!
"Man, these things are really useful. I think we can make a lot of money just by selling these things."
"Yes, sir, why don't we just sell these things!"
Zhao Feng shook his head with a smile, his eyes shining with confidence.
"If we sell these things directly to the public, even if we can make money for a while, we will not be able to make this business sustainable."
"And what we have to do is to maximize our interests to a certain extent, which requires the use of many business methods."
