Start or expand a Business making and selling high quality Natural Skin, Hair and Body Care products

natural skin care business

We are very pleased to offer you this opportunity to start your own successful business, making and selling natural cosmetics and toiletries. Selling the professional, natural skin, hair and body care products that you have made can be very rewarding, fun and creative as many of my course participants and customers can attest to! Having taught people to make their own cosmetics and beauty products for over 10 years, we know you’ll just love making these products.

You may be starting from scratch or expanding your business or you may be a hobbyist or therapist who previously sold only to family and friends or therapy clients but now you want to sell to the public.

Selling your products – is there a market?

As consumers become aware of health and environmental issues, a growing number of them are interested in buying natural, nature-friendly and preferably organic personal care products. Sales of these products have rocketed since the late 1990s, and continue to surge. There is an increasing trend for even over-the-counter, big brand beauty cosmetics and beauty products to be organic and natural. In 2009, organic certified- cosmetic products were worth an approximate $7bn globally (Source: cosmeticsdesign.com). Whilst the majority of the market is dominated by multinational cosmetic corporations, more and more people enjoy supporting cottage industries and small, local businesses and buying products that are ethical, eco-friendly and economical.

Where do I start?

If you would like to start up/expand a business making and selling your own products to the public, here are some recommendations and pointers:

Courses

  • If you haven’t already done so, we recommended that you attend Aromantic’s courses in order to get a good basic grounding in how to make your own products the Aromantic way.

Points to remember when selling your products to the public

Legal issues – selling to the public

  • Before selling your products to the public, there are a few different areas that need addressing before you are able to sell your products legally. If you’re a qualified therapist prescribing products for your clients, or you only want to sell to your family and friends, then it is much simpler. We also sell a 5-page eBook Selling your Natural Products - a few Handy Hints. The mini eBook has the basic pointers you need to bear in mind when selling to the public, including basic labelling and insurance guidelines as well as links to extra resources to help you put the pieces of the puzzle together.
  • We run a 1-day course on Legal Requirements, which is run by Roberto Ciaff to help you comply with EU requirements for selling natural cosmetics to the public. Course attendees receive a CD containing all the necessary paperwork that you can personalise for your own business as well as a file with handouts that will get you started with your production logbook system. See our Getting Started Resources page.
  • We can also recommend companies that can supply you with insurance and contact details of laboratories who can safety-test your products for you before they go on sale. See our Getting Started Resources page.
  • The rest, of course, is up to you but we are here to continue supporting you with our newsletters, new products, knowledge and consultancy. We are not simply a supplier of raw materials as we equally value the importance of empowering our customers with knowledge. If you ever feel stuck, you can contact us for help.

Do I need any special equipment to make Aromantic’s products?

It’s amazing how many times we are asked what kind of equipment is required to produce products using Aromantic’s recipes. The answer is that you don’t need any special equipment at all as Aromantic’s recipes are designed for standard kitchen equipment that you are already likely to have at home. We will say though that if you’re starting a business, then we would recommend you use equipment especially dedicated to making your products. Aromantic does sell equipment that makes it easier for you to make accurate recipes and larger quantities. Click here for the equipment we stock.
