Product Showcase
Three Scents, One Signature Look
Matte black 50g sticks and premium black cartons, distinguished by an accent strip per scent.
Concept visual — final formulation, packaging and claims subject to manufacturer approval and verification.
Two routes to your formula
Existing White-Label Formulas
Sheer Elegance buys existing aluminium-free deodorant formulas for the three scents and sells them under its own brand.
- Potentially lower development costs.
- Faster route to market.
- Existing, already-manufactured formulas.
- Less development work.
Custom Formulation
A manufacturer develops or modifies deodorants to Sheer Elegance’s own specification.
- Greater control over scent, texture and ingredients.
- More opportunities for differentiation.
- Stronger brand identity potential.
- But usually costs more and takes longer.
Claims shown on concept packaging — such as 24-hour freshness or vegan-friendly — are not verified. No unverified claim is presented as fact anywhere in this proposal; every claim is subject to manufacturer approval and evidence.

Your Six-Step DIY Roadmap
Everything you need to source and launch the three-scent collection yourself, free to use. Each step shows what to do, how to do it yourself, how LHV can help, and the deliverable you receive.
What to Do
Search for manufacturers with existing aluminium-free natural deodorant formulas that can carry Sheer Elegance branding across all three scents.
How to Do It Yourself
- Search “UK private label aluminium-free deodorant”, “natural deodorant stick white label” and “cosmetic contract manufacturer deodorant”.
- Contact at least three suppliers and request an existing formula for each concept: lemongrass, aloe vera and orange. Aloe vera is an ingredient as much as a scent — ask for an aloe-containing gentle botanical fragrance or unscented aloe option.
- Ask for the MOQ per variant and the total MOQ, 50g stick availability, prices at 100 / 250 / 500 units per variant where offered, samples, packaging, production times, UK delivery and whether they support Amazon preparation.
- Request INCI ingredients, allergen declarations, safety and compliance documentation, the UK Responsible Person details and whether each exact fragrance variant is already assessed.
- Build a comparison table scoring price, MOQ, lead times, documentation, communication and branding options.

Interactive Planning Tool
Budget & Margin Calculator
Set the order quantity per scent and edit every assumption to model your own numbers. Fixed costs are separated from variable costs; import VAT is shown as a one-off order cost — set it to £0 if your business reclaims it, so nothing is double counted. Figures are illustrative planning estimates, not supplier quotations.
Initial cash requirement
£3,870.00
Everything needed before launch: the full order across all three scents (product, packaging, freight, duty and any import VAT) plus samples, testing and other fixed costs.
Landed unit cost
£4.82
What each stick truly costs you landed in the UK — product, packaging, freight, duty and import VAT spread across the order.
Contribution per sale
£3.17
Selling price minus landed cost, selling fees, fulfilment and advertising. Contribution is before fixed costs — it is not net profit.
Estimated break-even units
537 sales
Sales needed to cover the one-off fixed costs (samples, testing, other) at this contribution per sale.
Stock remaining at projected sales
150 units
Total ordered across the three scents minus your projected units sold. Order per scent, not just a combined total.
Scenario profit at projected sales
£-749.00
Projected units sold × contribution per sale, minus the one-off fixed costs. Illustrative only.
Illustrative profit at different sales volumes

£-907.50
450 sales

Volume profit = sales × contribution per sale − one-off fixed costs. Assumes stock is available at your order quantity.
Illustrative external expenses
| Samples — 3 scents | £100–£300 |
| Manufacturing — 450 units (only if the supplier permits) | £1,350–£2,700 |
| Luxury packaging | £300–£750 |
| Safety / testing allowance | £600–£1,800 |
| Freight and delivery | £150–£400 |
| Contingency | £300–£700 |
| Total — illustrative only | £2,800–£6,650 |
Illustrative planning figures, NOT manufacturer quotes. Actual MOQ, regulatory requirements, taxes and import costs may change the budget materially.
Combined planning picture
LHV discounted service fee £2,875.50 + illustrative external £2,800–£6,650
£5,675.50–£9,525.50
This is NOT a guaranteed launch budget. Actual MOQ, regulatory scope, taxes, customs and manufacturing can increase costs substantially.
Your Options
DIY or Appoint Lawson Her Vision
You now know exactly how to source and launch the three-scent collection independently — the roadmap above is yours to use either way. If you would prefer a done-for-you route, Lawson Her Vision can coordinate suppliers, samples, branding, compliance administration, e-commerce and handover. The manufacturer, qualified assessor and brand owner each retain their own responsibilities — LHV is not a manufacturer, assessor or legal adviser.
Sourcing & Feasibility
Research, up to three supplier comparisons, three-scent feasibility, MOQ and budget report.
Sample & Formula Coordination
Sample ordering across all three scents, structured feedback and up to two consolidated revision rounds.
Compliance Documentation
Coordinating safety-assessment, testing and Responsible Person documentation requests.
Branding & Packaging
Three package designs, artwork coordination, supplier proofs and approval management.
E-commerce & Launch Preparation
Three product listings, existing site integration, Amazon preparation guidance and handover.
Project Management & Handover
One point of contact from sourcing through to final handover.
Three existing fragrance variants from one supplier are assumed. Bespoke formulas, multiple factories or extensive regulatory work require a new quote — the choice stays with you at every stage.

Bigger Brand Vision — Optional
The Sheer Elegance Personal Care Portfolio
A future coordinated collection could take shape once each product has proven feasible and been tested. Nothing below is in production or approved — this is simply where the brand could go next, with no pressure to commit.
Premium period underwear
Already proposed separately — feasibility and testing confirmed before any coordinated range.
Natural charcoal toothpaste
Separate proposal, its own supplier research and compliance route.
Three-scent natural deodorant
This proposal — three fragrance variants from one supplier, subject to samples and safety assessment.
Coordinated gift sets would only be suggested after each product’s individual feasibility and testing.

Commercial Safeguards
Important Commercial Terms
Scope
Lawson Her Vision (LHV) will provide the services and deliverables described in the accepted proposal. Work outside the agreed scope requires written quotation and approval and may incur additional fees. Three existing fragrance variants from one supplier are assumed; bespoke formulas, multiple factories or extensive regulatory work require a new quote.
External costs
Samples, manufacturing, inventory, packaging production, safety assessments, testing, shipping, customs charges, Amazon fees and advertising are separate and normally paid directly by Sheer Elegance. They are not included in the agency fee, and LHV does not finance stock.
Client approvals
Sheer Elegance must approve suppliers, samples, artwork, quotations and production decisions at each stage.
Product compliance
Sheer Elegance remains responsible for its applicable obligations as brand owner, seller or importer. A qualified cosmetic safety professional must carry out the safety assessment. LHV coordinates documentation only and does not certify products, guarantee safety or act as a legal adviser.
Claims
No unverified claim is used as an established benefit. Claims such as “24-hour freshness”, “vegan”, “cruelty-free”, “hypoallergenic” or “sensitive-skin safe” are only used once supporting evidence has been confirmed with the manufacturer.
Manufacturing
LHV does not guarantee manufacturer performance, regulatory approval, Amazon acceptance, launch date or sales.
Payment
The project is payable in three agreed milestones (50% / 30% / 20%) by bank transfer to Bnms Empire Ltd. Milestone invoices are issued before each payment falls due and payments are only recorded once confirmed.
Loyalty discount
The Returning Client Loyalty Discount applies to LHV’s service fees for this proposal only. It does not apply to samples, manufacturing, stock, lab work, freight, advertising or other supplier costs, and does not automatically extend to future projects.
Refunds and termination
If Sheer Elegance cancels the project: work already completed is payable at the milestone rate already reached; external costs already committed with Sheer Elegance’s written approval remain payable; and any payment made for work not yet carried out will be refunded within 14 days. Nothing in this agreement affects your statutory rights.
Estimates
Timelines, cost estimates and financial projections in this proposal are indicative planning figures, not supplier quotations.
