Teen Sisters Sold $20 MILLION Of Bath Bombs!

so sister preneur pretty self-explanatory yeah since officially launching in 2015 they've hit multi-million dollar revenues these two sisters started a business when they were 10 and 11 years old he's welcome to bomb bat business creator 17 year old Isabel and fifteen-year-old Caroline Burke ha it's a crazy adventure and we're just kind of hanging on to the ride hi I'm Isabel and I'm Caroline and were the cofounders of Devon bath fizzers four years ago we started this company in our basement and last year we exceeded over 20 million dollars in revenue and this is my hustle [Music] welcome to our Test Kitchen today we're gonna make a bath bomb from our book fizz boom bath and we're making the candy crush pack foam so bath bombs are usually made of citric acid and baking soda some fragrance oil and a binding agent and you can also add pigment to your bath bombs like we did here we've already mixed all the ingredients into a bowl and so what's left is to just assemble the bath bomb one side of the mold you're gonna fill with some sprinkles and then you're going to take your mix and put it in and then with your other side you're just going to blend it together let your bath bombs sit anywhere from one to three days while it dries and then when it's done drying you'll have the best fizzing results when you use it in your bath [Music] we only go to school halftime because we learn a lot at the business and we have half days so that we can come and work so this is where is when I spend most of our time here in the family office it's me my mom and dad it's about obviously and sometimes our little brother Harry will come here so this is his desk here and here is his skate ramp area it's pretty sick so now we're going to move on to the warehouse this is Murray this is where all of the batches are mixed we originally started making bath bombs in our basement we entered a local Art Fair the summer of 2012 when we were 10 and 11 they had a little 8 foot table it cost them $25 to enter they spent the entire summer making about 150 bath bombs I thought they might not sell that was my worst fear that no one would buy any but when we got to the Art Fair people started coming up and asking questions and talking to them even before they were set up and then by the end of the first day because it's a two-day fair we had sold out of bath bombs we actually did the Art Fair two years in a row and the second year we were approached by a local salon the salon owner wanted to put our products in his store little by little we started to get our products into more and more stores and before we knew it we were in so many stores that our parents had to help us complete orders at one point we were making 20,000 bath bombs per month out of our home and that was a completely crazy time I think we had bath bombs in every room of our home except our bedrooms is when I would be down in our basement making bath bombs non-stop our fingerprints eventually wore off because we were making so many they're back now but that was definitely an intense time in bath bomb history flash-forward to today we have over 200 employees during our peak season and in our busiest time to make over a million bath bombs a month to the photo room we go usually this is where we'll come to photograph all of our ideas for social media social media is actually one of the most important marketing platforms we use and we also realized that we should also be able to inspire people from the very beginning giving back was something that was really important to us so that's where the idea of the earth bomb came up and so with the earth bomb we donate proceeds towards different organizations that help clean up the oceans if you have some influence in this world you know there's a lot going on and everyone's trying to get their message across so if you even have a little bit of influence I think it's important to use it for good I honestly love my job but it can be kind of hard sometimes because people assume things about you that maybe aren't true I've had groups of kids come up to me before at school and say oh you're a multimillionaire what's that like and I'm like just because you see an article that says my business is worth this much that doesn't necessarily mean I myself can like be a baller and like have all this cash flow you have to reinvest in the company and pay your employees and pay your suppliers there's so many other expenses yeah and I think people don't really realize that especially in high school we're kind of living a double life you know we go to school and we have school friends and then we come to the office and it's kind of weird because then we're in a different position of maybe authority or a different age group you have to make self care a priority and you have to learn how to balance your life and there's really no good way to tell you how to do that ice skating take one so and we were a little younger we used to skate five to six days a week since the business started we kind of had to slow things down a bit but we still try to make time to skate we get in arguments all the time but we know that we have each other's backs when we're not having arguments we're having a lot of fun figure skaters are known to not have the same fear acceptors as most people when we started a business we like to say that we were kind of fearless and maybe that's because we're figure skaters and we weren't scared of falling so then we weren't scared of failing with our business so how was everyone's day I think we saw each other for most of it our parents have been so incredibly supportive throughout this whole thing without a doubt we would not be where we are without them this business has allowed us to spend so much time together and just to experience their professional growth it's been really cool if I could give a piece of advice to someone my age if you have anything you want to start just do it don't wait if you're really passionate about it it'll be worth it my top piece of advice it would be you have to find a sense of fearlessness because if you're always afraid that things are going to go wrong your business isn't going to succeed in 20 years I think the bomb is going to be international and really world
