I'm three years into building my business and the top question I always get is, "Wait, so you make the products yourself? How did you learn that?" People don't always seem to be that impressed with my response when I say, "I do a lot of research!" 😂... which is true! It has taken me years to get to the stage I'm at now and I am still learning new things every day! 🤓📚 (always a student)
🔌 Today, I feel like sharing what kind of research I actually do and if you ever feel like dabbling in the cosmetics/haircare world, these will be some useful resources for you!
1. FORMULATIONS 🔑 - Learning about how to formulate products (like creating a recipe but for haircare) is super important. We need to make sure that we are keeping customers safe and we can do this through testing our formulations with professionals! I would also recommend watching @yayadiycreations on YouTube because she helped me early on in my career ***warning - she is based in the states and some of the ingredients used are not approved in the UK... you will have to do your... research 😆
2. Another YouTuber that I am obsessed with is @marierayma founder of Humblebee & Me! Again she is based in the states 🇺🇲 so watch them ingredients! 👀
3. @ebay was a great way for me to find packaging for smaller orders when I first started out and then I eventually made more sustainable choices with my packaging 📦
4. If you need more help! DM ME! 💌 I'm scheduling one to one sessions to teach people how to get into this biz... there's space for everyone to grow here! Link in bio to schedule your free consultation call 📞
I also want to point out that I have just started a YouTube channel to share my experience along my entrepreneurial journey! Link in bio to, subscribe! 😄
