Queen hand cream and Oldham Chronicle fame

Sensiderma Rich Hand Cream, THE most amazing hand cream (I think I have said this before!), is the order of the day. It is currently on special offer at just £6.00 which is ridiculously good value and which explains why our customers are snapping it up. Buy some now!

Queen Sensiderma Rich Hand Cream is great for all skin types but is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin or skin suffering from eczema or other dry-skin conditions. Even the hardest working hands are restored. We know this because the local farmers all come to our door to buy it. I have just seen one struggling across the field with a lamb under her arm (the lamb was struggling too, I am pleased to report, and was deposited in another field) and a couple of others are digging a ditch. You'd never know they'd been engaged in such hard labour by the look of their hands.

Other news is that Queen anti-wrinkle cream for sensitive skin, Sensiderma Renew & Refine, is launched. To take the shine off, we have had a few delays in despatch due to some label problems. These are now resolved and we are working hard to catch up on the orders.

So, what's so good about this product? Well, it adheres to our philosophy of keeping our products as simple as possible so that they can be used by sensitive skin. We have stuck as closely as possible to our existing formulations but have added some new ingredients, including a new peptide, BoNT-L, which builds on the success of other peptides in the market but has a superior lasting effect when applied to the skin. We hope that Sensiderma Renew & Refine will be a longstanding and popular addition to the Queen range.

Otherwise, it's been business as usual here at our rural HQ. Queen Soap has been particularly popular this week with one customer buying 25 in one go. Maybe they're for Christmas presents. We are getting very low on stocks of most products, in fact, so next week is going to be a big manufacturing drive to get the shelves re-stocked.

We've had some nice emails in, including one from a woman who had requested some samples of Light Night Cream and Sensiderma Day Cream:

"Thank you very much for sending the above samples.  At last, something I can use.  I found both products very soothing and moisturising without being too heavy."

Another called in to ask what was in our Eye Make-up Remover. "Oh, that sounds ok," she said. "I've been using Simple but it's recently started to make my eyes itchy and sore and I've been shocked to see how many ingredients there are in the products." Quite!

We've also had a name check in the Oldham Evening Chronicle this week. Oh yes! To read how Queen came to be connected with a famous golden nugget found in Australia in 1852, read the article here. The piece came about because one of the journalists at the paper requested some Queen samples. Our managing director, David, mentioned that his family came from Oldham and that a road was named after a golden nugget his great grandfather had found and, a couple of months later, an email appeared asking if they could do a story.  Fame at last!

Well, the week has flown by and there's still lots to do so better get on with it.

Have a good weekend.
