Xina Broderick

For years Xina Broderick struggled to find beauty products that she could use for her own hair and skin type. Many people would resign themselves to what’s available on the market, but Xina managed to spot a gap. Xina embarked on a mission of establishing her very own natural beauty products company.

Xina soon came across various organic beauty products available in the US that she was able to buy in bulk to sell on to her family and friends who could see the benefits for themselves. The success of this initial stage served to motivate Xina yet further as she quickly began to cater for others who were struggling to find natural products to suit their specialist needs.

Xina built a strong customer base thereafter and before long pre-orders for her products had grown to huge proportions and NaturesParlour was born.

Xina’s story demonstrates how successful businesses can frequently have their ethos derived from personal experience and is an inspiration to anyone wishing to start their own business.
