Handsy – Direct To Consumer Hand Sanitizer

Hacker News

Been enamored by DTC idealogy, brands and products for awhile, patiently sitting on the sidelines feeling out ideas. Having searched high and low for hand sanitizer amid Coronavirus, finding myself in sketchy parts unknown, there was a better way. I created the brand, website, and am leveraging an existing local supplier relationship so it's made in the USA. Some product details: 64% Organic Alcohol, 100% Vegan, no added parabens or pthalates, and cruelty free. Obviously I'm addressing the current state of madness, but this has longevity beyond the virus as a mid-premium DTC skincare brand. I belive the coming months of disruption calls for a new approach to product consumption. Necessity based. Creating an ancillary DTC product is the best path I know forward for myself. Here it is: Meet Handsy, Direct To You Health using premium quality ingredients and bottled in a dedicated UDA Organic FDA registered & AEMSA certified Clean Room. Right now it's just me going about this so I appreciate any ideas or thoughts. Available to order today: handsyhealth.com There are two products, Essential and Calming. The latter is infused with hemp-based CBD. Lastly, thank you HN. I've been on here since Aug 2011 and really love what I've been learned and many a paradigm shifts harken back to this site. Not to mention the infinite threads favorited. Hopefully this is seen in a positive light. My only concern is around pricepoints, but as my costs go down I can revisit. There is plenty of data that suggests I'm mid-priced (Touchland, Aesop, Byredo, etc) but it's still something I'm conscious of.
