The next day, Orchidia Beauty made another headlines as they launched their next line of products consisting of lotions, creams, butters and scrubs for the body. Everything sold out again in just a day. This time, it took hours, unlike their earlier record-breaking launches because the company had once again increased their manufacturing capacity.
