Welcome to the first entry in our "Building Swell" series, where we dive deep into the philosophy behind Swell Labs and our unique approach to creating products with our community.
The Swell Labs Philosophy At Swell Labs, we believe that the best products are born from a blend of innovative thinking, quality materials, and real-world testing. We're not just a company; we're creators, environmentalists, and most importantly, active listeners. Our philosophy is simple: make functional, eco-friendly products that not only promise but also deliver exceptional performance.
The Birth of the Swell Bar It all started with a simple question: Can we create a sustainable, all-in-one bar that caters to all cleansing needs without compromising on quality or environmental ethics? The Swell Bar was our answer. After three years of meticulous designing and formulating, we introduced a product that redefined the daily routine—a soap that's not just a soap but a comprehensive solution for hair, face, and body care.
The Subscription System Our subscription model isn't about tying customers down; it's about building a community of conscious consumers and providing them with the best value. By reducing marketing costs, we're able to focus on sourcing the finest natural ingredients and crafting them into a bar that’s beneficial for you and the planet.
The Bi-Monthly Improvement Cycle We operate on a bi-monthly improvement cycle, which is at the heart of our iterative design process. This system allows us to make constant, informed updates to the Swell Bar. How do we do it? Through comprehensive feedback collected from our subscribers—the real MVPs who use the Swell Bar in their everyday lives.
Every cycle, we:
- Gather feedback via surveys and direct communication.
- Analyze the insights for patterns and suggestions.
- Apply the findings to enhance the bar’s design, formula, and overall user experience.
Improvement in Action In our latest cycle, we addressed a common piece of feedback regarding the bar’s size. Travel-friendliness and ease of use were essential to our customers, so we refined the diameter of the Swell Bar without compromising on its longevity. The updated v2.4 is now easier to pack, grip, and enjoy—perfect for the Swell experience at home or on the go.
Your Role in Building Swell As we continue this series, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey of growth and innovation. Your input is vital. Every comment, every suggestion, and every critique brings us one step closer to perfection. And with each improvement cycle, we reaffirm our commitment to you and to our mission of sustainability.
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes looks at how we're building Swell with you in mind. Let’s lather up the future together—one bar at a time.
Warmly,
The Swell Labs Team 🌊
