OilsByFaith, LLC | Application Preview

 

OilsByFaith, LLC is seeking government grants to support its operations and growth. The funding will cover monthly obligations such as e-commerce, marketing, social media, and the purchase of commercial equipment. It will also be used to secure office or warehouse space and hire full-time staff for various business functions.

The company plans to establish a diverse workforce and launch a comprehensive line of all-natural hair and skin care products, which includes essential oil-based shampoos, conditioners, skincare products, and hair accessories. A key aim is to uplift the Black culture and support the autistic community.

The founder's journey began after her youngest son was diagnosed with autism in 2018, which sparked a personal transformation that inspired the creation of OilsByFaith. After experimenting with natural hair care using essential oils, she experienced significant improvements in her hair and skin health, which she now shares with her customers. The business also emphasizes the importance of self-love and mental health, particularly for parents of children with disabilities.

In a competitive landscape dominated by brands like Shea Moisture and Mielle, OilsByFaith distinguishes itself with unique essential oil blends and sustainable practices. The company uses recyclable materials for its products and is actively reducing its carbon footprint.

With the requested funding, OilsByFaith aims to enhance its product offerings and further its mission to foster self-care and confidence in its community before potentially having to close down at the end of 2021 without financial assistance.

OilsByFaith mission is to grow awareness for self-love, self-care and building confidence. But first, you must know the beginning to understand my journey. The purpose for OilsByFaith was founded before I was ready to give it life. In 2018, my husband and I, in agreeance, began the process of having our youngest son evaluated for Autism. After receiving diagnosis of mild to moderate Autism it shocked my core. I became angry, sad, very emotionally all signs of depressed. I never felt this way and it frighten me. At that moment, I knew I needed to break free from these emotions and regain control. A simple thought and an action resulted in chopping off my hair. I went from relaxed shoulder length hair to a low afro with faded side. And it felt good! I felt energized! I was free until I realized I never had natural hair. So, I began researching natural hair care routines and discovered essential oils. Once I learned about their benefits for aromatherapy, elevating moods & energy, and improving skin & hair. I made a few products and used them. The next few years I used my products and saw amazing results. My hair grew longer than my original length and my skin was the healthiest I have ever seen. My energy and mood were elevated. I developed a new version of myself and it was refreshing. As far as my son, he is enrolled in Cincinnati Public School Autism Unit for Kindergarten and receiving weekly OT and Speech therapy. My current customers witnessed similar results with fuller, longer and healthier hair and skin. I absolutely love my products, our customers, and the community we are creating. But without funding assistance this small business will eventually close by the end of 2021. With funding assistance, I can proceed raising awareness on how important mental health, self-love, self-care and building confidence is for working moms, parents of disabled children and the black community.
