Idea
Introduction
From recreational athletes to high-level sportspeople, we all want to up our game & achieve our personal best.
With 15 yrs+ in the personal care industry, chemist Ian Murphy saw his teammates applying various creams & rubs to their skin & muscles to try & improve performance. Some of these products were designed for medical treatment not improving performance & often had the overpowering smell you are likely imagining now.
Active Body Care is a rapidly growing segment within the huge personal care category, with 48% of consumers expressing interest in such products (Mintel). Other Sports ranges offer fragrance & packaging tweaks, but Bullet & Bone offers functional performance benefits for athletes.
So Ian created Bullet & Bone: 7 UK-made premium skincare formulas with natural active ingredients. They are kind to skin, 100% vegan & in 100% recyclable packaging.
This range of products is specifically designed to optimise your preparation, your session & your recovery.

Monetisation strategy
To date, with minimal budget, the demand has been proven through organic customer acquisition & strong repeat purchases.
This raise focuses on growth, starting with the Pro:Direct opportunity. Their premium positioning & customer base serious about sports draws in 1.5m monthly website impressions, so working with their brand communications team we will promote the listings to their 3.5m+ social media followers.
We will also invest in a full digital marketing campaign to drive traffic to bulletandbone.com, aiming to deliver high margin sales with strong repeat purchase rates, as well as leveraging the prestigious listing with Pro:Direct Sports to attract new retail partners.
Already in the pipeline:
- 3 tested & approved innovative new products
- International expansion through existing leads
The UK Skin Care Market is worth $3.9 billion in 2022 (+6.22% CAGR) and by 2026 the Global Functional Cosmetics market will be worth $4.1b.
