After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 193 Face Cream is a Huge Success
Sun thanked Su Xiaoxiao quickly and treated the face cream as a priceless treasure, cherishing it as if it were some high-end face cream that cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan per small bottle. She only dared to use a pea-sized amount each time with her fingernail.

Su Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Sister Sun, there's no need to cherish it so much. I'll just make more when I run out."

A few days later, Sun went to find Su Xiaoxiao with a happy expression, pointing to her face and shouting excitedly.

"Xiaoxiao, look! Look, my face..."

Su Xiaoxiao thought something had happened to Sun Shi and was almost scared to death by her.

"What's wrong, Sister Sun?"

"My face has really become whiter. And I used to have freckles around my eyes, but look, you can't see them at all now, can you?"

She said this excitedly.

"really?"

Su Xiaoxiao was also very excited. She hadn't noticed the spots around Sun's eyes before, but it was true that women in that era didn't have much awareness of sun protection and were exposed to the sun in the fields like men all year round, so it was easy for them to develop spots.

"Look at this area, the spots have completely disappeared. It's truly amazing!"

Sun was overjoyed. Su Xiaoxiao noticed that the corners of Sun's eyes were indeed very clean, and she was also happy for Sun.

For women of their age, it would be incredibly fortunate if their skin continued to improve, without wrinkles, blemishes, sagging, dark circles, or eye bags.

However, to be honest, Mrs. Sun wasn't actually that much older than Su Xiaoxiao and the others. The main problem was that she had lived a very rough life before; even getting enough to eat was a problem. Where would she find the energy to talk about skincare products or applying them to her face?

Sun said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Little sister, I knew you were skillful. If you sold this face cream on the market, it would be snapped up. Those rich girls would probably be kneeling in front of you, begging you to sell it to them."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly replied politely, "That's not necessary. I don't plan to sell right now."

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao has started researching perfumes again these past few days. She just tinkers with them at home whenever she has time, so she hasn't been making any face creams anymore.

Sun urged Su Xiaoxiao to hurry up and produce the face cream, to which Su Xiaoxiao replied, "Okay, no rush."

As a result, after Ms. Sun let the other women in the jam workshop use this face cream, they all immediately became obsessed with it.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao appeared at the jam workshop, the girls immediately surrounded her. "Boss Su, do you still sell face cream? We all want to buy some. Sister Sun gave it to us, and it's so effective!"

One of the female workers said, "Last time, my hands kept getting wet and cracked, but after using the face cream that Sister Sun gave me a few times, the cracks healed in a few days."

"This stuff is great, and it smells wonderful. I smell nice every day, and even my husband smells wonderful when I get home..."

The female worker was too embarrassed to continue, but everyone knew what was going on.

"You smell so good!"

Such an evaluation of another would sound somewhat ambiguous.

"Brother, you smell so good!"

When one man speaks of another man in this way, it's a bad sign!
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the couple she had previously shipped, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her face.

"This face cream is absolutely amazing."

"Where can I buy them?" "Hmm, I'll check in a while and make some more. Right now, I'm still collecting data and don't plan to mass-produce them."

Su Xiaoxiao explained it this way.

Looking at the eager eyes of the people in front of her, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a great responsibility on her shoulders.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that this face cream had brought so many benefits to everyone and seemed to be working well, so she figured she would probably have to mass-produce it in the future.

Back home, she took the flower petals she had picked on the mountain a few days earlier and refined them into a highly concentrated essential oil.

Then Su Xiaoxiao had someone purchase a large amount of beeswax from the foreign country. Compared with local beeswax, this beeswax has a longer shelf life. In addition, the beeswax has a very thick texture, which would be very suitable for making face cream.

Now Su Xiaoxiao is much more adept at it. She steams the beeswax in a pot to remove impurities, and then adds essential oils in the correct proportions. She has become quite skilled at making these things.

Speaking of which, Su Xiaoxiao added essential oils extracted from lilac and rose petals this time.

Because these two floral scents actually have completely different effects, and they can achieve a dual effect of whitening and moisturizing the skin.

After doing that, Su Xiaoxiao still went to order some custom-made bottles for face cream.

The bottles used for face creams are actually designed to protect the cream from damage caused by sunlight and humid air.

It can be stored for a long time; if I were to use it myself, I estimate it would last for several months.

Su Xiaoxiao wrote the words "Rose Night Cream", "Wild Rose Night Cream", and "Lilac Night Cream" on the porcelain bottles.

Why such an uncreative name? It's actually to make it easier for everyone to remember, and saying "night cream" sounds more sophisticated.

The creams used at night are of course the best and most expensive, but they can also be used during the day.

There's no difference between them; they all have price tags. Su Xiaoxiao set the price of a bottle of night cream at thirty coins.

The bottle even features a custom-made image of a beautiful woman holding a face cream in her hand. This must be one of the earliest advertising images used.
However, Su Xiaoxiao was not stingy at all in sacrificing her image; the beauty on the bottle was drawn based on her own figure.

This was a way for Su Xiaoxiao to endorse her own skincare products, and she felt great about it.

Pei Yuan looked at the graceful lady on the bottle, then at Su Xiaoxiao, comparing them back and forth several times.

He pouted and asked Su Xiaoxiao unhappily, "Do you think this is a picture of you?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Then wouldn't you be seen by every man in the world? That won't do!"

Looking at Pei Yuan in front of her, Su Xiaoxiao felt that Pei Yuan was a bit stubborn and too traditional.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled at him and said, "Actually, you don't need to worry so much. It seems that you're the only one who noticed it. No one else has asked me about it."

Su Xiaoxiao was implying that he was the most troublesome person, but Pei Yuan still looked unwilling to compromise.

"Isn't this a bad idea? Everyone saw you. What if a guy falls for you?"
