Hidden Gems: Meet Roderick Ellison of Body83

Today we’d like to introduce you to Roderick Ellison.

Hi Roderick, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself
Growing up, as a husky guy you always had to stay a few steps ahead of the game, like keeping yourself well-groomed and put together.

I constantly purchased different lotions, deodorants, and cologne, and as I got older, I started to mix different things together to come up with different scents which became very cool, especially when I started getting so many compliments about how good I smelled.

Fast forward years later I was sitting home during the pandemic trying to figure out my next move just like everyone else, then it hit me, “Start your own body care line for men and women!” I slowly began perfecting Body83.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
When having your own business it can be a little rough at times, because you have to make sure everything is almost perfect, from ordering products to managing how much money you spent, and how much you’re making and putting out the best products as possible.

It’s never a smooth road, but with words of encouragement from family and friends continue to motivate me.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At Body83 we specialize in natural body products from body wash, body butter, sugar scrub, beard wash, and beard oil, just to name a few.

Very excited that it’s an all-natural product that can be used for any skin type. Stay tuned because Body83 has some amazing things coming up in the near future.

What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
I would love to have Body83 in hotels and in stores across the country, or maybe even the world!
