Behind the Scenes: Bedrock Breaks Even!

Our bottom line just got brighter: Bedrock broke even! 🎉

We know our barrier creams for skin breakdown and irritation have a bright future.

It’s no fun to lose money every year, especially when you were delusional enough to think you’d recoup startup costs in the first year (I was very naive).

A year ago, our gap to green was $20k and I got mad (the good kind of mad).

Then the pandemic hit, and I didn’t know if sales would survive.

So I cut costs.

• No ads.

• No fancy email software.

• No wholesale help.

• No influencer deals.

We paid for the essentials only: products, packaging, basic apps, the website, and insurance.

It all paid off (thanks in part to our maskne cream helping customers through their pandemic skincare woes), because Bedrock has officially paid back our kids’ college fund (kidding!)

What are you saving for? Some dreams aren’t free, so better get on it.
