### *Example Input Text:*

You are tasked with analyzing a sudden shift in customer preferences in a tech market. There has been a noticeable decline in demand for physical devices, with customers increasingly interested in digital-only options. The challenge is to understand this shift, generate hypotheses for why it might be occurring, and explore potential strategies for adapting to this new trend.

---

### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

★Light Botanical Oils help gently break down makeup and grime from your day without stripping.

★This formula is perfectly balanced for all skin types.

★Makeup Removal and Cleansing in one step.

★Vegan Wax helps minimize risk of spills by keeping this balm solid.

★Beautiful ingredients that are so pure this can double as a moisturizer.

This is a true Oil Cleansing Method Balm, there is no emulsifier to make this rinse clean. Organic Hemp Seed Oil is perfectly light, and leaves skin soft when removed!

There is a ton of info below, but the short version : Massage the balm into dry skin for 1-5 minutes, remove. TADA! The longer you massage, the more time the oils have to open your pores, encourage lymphatic drainage, and thin sebum. Because you aren't stripping your skin, you don't HAVE to follow with anything else, if you don't want to. Honestly, this is my favorite way to cleanse, because I don't always feel up to a ten minute routine, and with this, I know my skin is clean and moisturized.

🌿SKIN CONCERN

Bear's Beauty products are not made for specific skin types, but for specific skin issues and concerns. I formulate every product with truly sensitive skin in mind.

🌱 All Skin Types + Reactive & Acne Included

🌱 Clogged Pores + Congested Skin + Breakouts

🌱 Teenage Breakouts + Hormonal Acne + Pregnancy Acne + Cystic Acne

🌱 Combination Skin + Adult Acne + Post Acne

🌱 Skin that feels tight after cleansing + Makeup Remover

🌱 Excess Oil + Enlarged Pores

🌿WHAT IS AN OIL CLEANSER & WHO NEEDS ONE

An oil cleanser is an oil you wash your face with; by massaging the oil into your dry face and then removing. One step removes makeup and cleanses or just cleanses if you don't wear makeup.

Many of the "oil cleansers" offered on the market today are made with cheap petroleum derivatives and emulsifiers so they rinse clean (defeating the entire purpose of using oil in the first place.)

Cleansing is the most important step in your routine and the root of most skin issues is an imbalance in this step. Oil Cleansing is a nurturing and nourishing approach to cleansing.

I have taken all the guesswork out of oil cleansing with blends that are meant for all skin types, but especially the most sensitive. No matter what formula you choose, you can be assured that it won't clog your pores or leave you a greasy mess.

If you ever wash your face and find yourself rushing for moisturizer, you need an oil cleanser.

If you are an oil slick by noon, you need an oil cleanser.

This one bottle can be your only skin care product. Once you remove the oil you use to cleanse, you can gently pat a few drops of cleansing oil into damp skin.

❤️If you wear makeup, this will remove all your makeup and leave your skin clean.

❤️Doesn't strip skin or require additional products or steps

🌿USEFUL LINKS + INFO

Have you ever used oil to remove sticker residue from a bottle or gunk from your hardwood floor? This is the same idea. Oil breaks down grime and clogged pores and then takes it along when it is wiped off, leaving your skin soft and smooth, never oily. Oil dissolves oil, and these botanical cleansing oils leave your skin glowing.

The most basic routine, and how you will start :

1. Open jar and scoop balm with dry hands. I suggest starting with a pea-size amount.

2. Warm between dry fingertips.

3. Massage oil into face, focusing on hollows of face and trouble areas.

5. I wipe the excess oil off my hands at this point with the face cloth I am going to use to remove the oil. You can also use tissue or just wash your hands (with good Organic or Castile Soap) - You don't have to do this, I just don't like having oil on my hands.

6. Get your cloth damp with warm, but not hot water. Hot water can actually cause more damage to your skin and broken capillaries. Place the cloth over your face and inhale deeply. NOTE : For gentler removal, leave the cloth dry.

7. Gently wipe away the excess oil and then rinse the cloth and continue gently removing the oil.

8. Once the oil is removed, your skin should feel clean. Do not leave oil on your skin.

9. You can stop here. You can just mist your skin with Hydrosol. You can do toner, serum, and moisturizer.

👉👉👉👉Before you say, "Jerra, you said it was easy!" - Massage the oil into your dirty face with dry hands, use gentle pressure, do your eyes last, remove with the cloth I sent you, and smile :)

👉Start Here if you are brand new to the OCM, or just want a little more info

Pick up a pack of microfiber face cloths as well, I have 8 that I hand-wash with Castile soap once a week. They help remove the oil, can be used wet or dry, and leave your skin lightly exfoliated.

All Oil Cleansers now come with one Microfiber Cloth, I feel that of all the things I have tried over the last few years, microfiber cloths are the most effective + offer gentle exfoliation + leave your skin clean without the need for water or a second cleanse. (Cloth pictured above is green, but you will get a random color.)

🌿PROPERTIES + BENEFITS

✨ Are you CRAZY? You want me to wash my face with oil? Perhaps, but it really WORKS and you will never think of “oil” as a dirty word ever again.

✨ Remove all your makeup + cleanse in just one step.

✨ Won’t strip your skin or leave your skin feeling two sizes two small and tight.

💧 ♻️Conserve water + Great for travel = all you need is a dry cloth to do your entire evening cleansing routine!

STAR INGREDIENTS

You may have seen some other cleansing oils that use Castor Oil, not here! I find Castor oil to be pore-clogging and drying. Enter Hemp :)

★Organic Hemp Seed Oil started it all; this amazing oil is considered a “dry” oil, so it never feels thick or greasy, just silky + smooth. The science is in the Linoleic Acid, a form of fatty acid that actually softens the clogs in your pores and encourages healthy + balanced oil production. No matter what your skin type, the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) will change the way you feel about your skin + think about oil … forever.

Freshness guaranteed for 6 months, but store in the fridge when not in use, do not expose to heat or sunlight.

🌿APPLICATION

You initially want to use the OCM once per day, ideally in the evening. This does not mean that you can't use it more than once a day. Skin care is very personal, and your skin will change with age, weather, and hormones ... so be open to changing your routine with your skin. For example, in the winter I love to do a light oil cleanse in the AM and then jump in the show and follow with a scrub. At night I will do a deep (10 minute) oil cleanse and then remove with a damp cloth.

🌟 🌟 Easy Oil Cleansing - No cloth required - I use this method, especially when getting in the shower.

1. Massage quarter size (10 - 20 pumps from 1 oz or 2 oz bottle) pool of oil into dry face. Focus on areas like the crevice of your nose and chin that have texture. Massage for 3-5 minutes.

3. Rinse and follow with Toner + Serum + Moisturizer as needed. If your skin still feels oily, you can repeat step 2 or just use toner to remove excess.

🌟 🌟 Other Oil Cleansing Methods

1. Quick Oil Cleansing - Great for those who don't wear makeup or for morning cleansing. Massage a dime size pool of oil between palms to warm. Massage into dry face and neck in circular motions for 2-5 minutes. Remove with dry or damp microfiber cloth. No need to follow with anything else.

2. Deep Oil Cleansing - This is one of my favorite ways to use cleansing oil. Pump a dime to quarter size pool of oil into hands. Massage into dry face and neck. massage using gentle pressure in circular motions, focusing on congested areas. Massage for 5-10 minutes. I typically do this while watching TV. Let the oil sit on your skin for a few minutes. Remove oil with dry or damp cloth. You can choose to follow with a mask to help remove clogged pores that have been softened with the cleansing oil. OR follow with toner + serum + moisturizer of your choice. I typically do a deep cleanse 2-3 times per week.

3. Double Cleansing - Follow #1 to break down makeup, massaging oil into closed eyes last. Remove with dry cloth and then repeat. Follow #2. You can also use the OCM first, remove with a cloth, and then follow with a foaming face wash or scrub.

4. Moisturizer - Apply to damp skin in or out of shower or anytime you need moisture.

💚This product absolutely saved my face. I initially ordered because I was curious about OCM and on a whim figured I would try it. By the time it arrived, I had been put on antibiotics by a dermatologist and had a horrible, horrible allergic reaction. Where I had no acne before, I was absolutely *covered* in it, my whole face, chest, shoulders, etc. I made a decision to trust in Jerra's product and let it work. I used it, patiently, with the microfiber cloths and didn't touch, poke or put anything on my face for a week. Every single horrible self-confidence killing spot was gone, and all the small 'under the skin' clogs in my pores are slowly coming out. I will never go back. The cloths are amazing, the product is amazing, it's a relaxing ritual. I will never trust anyone but Jerra with my skin again!
