Starting your own cosmetics brand

Starting your own cosmetics brand. What does it involve and when is it financially feasible?

Building a cosmetics brand goes further than attractive packaging and a good formula. Product safety, suppliers, regulation, margins and stock determine whether your beauty brand can start and grow responsibly.

FOREFACT researches four production routes: white label, customised private label, your own formula and producing yourself.

What will you discover in this research?

• Which production route suits your budget and growth plans.

• How to assess manufacturers, samples, minimum order quantities and packaging.

• Which legal obligations apply to product safety, CPSR, PIF, CPNP, labels and claims.

• How to calculate the real product cost price, sales margin and marketing costs.

• What impact stock, returns, wholesale and cash flow have on your business.

• When you are better off investing, scaling up or stopping instead.

What do you receive?

An independent research report with practical checks, financial examples and an Excel calculation tool. With it you test your own start-up budget, margins, stock, monthly cash flow and three financial scenarios.

The financial examples are planning models, not guaranteed results. The research does not replace a product-specific safety assessment.
