Cosmetics covers a large
variety of products, including soaps, shampoos,
perfumes, bath products, facial products, and more.
Basically anything that comes in contact with the
skin.
You need to have a separate
room in your home, with a sink, for most cosmetics
manufacture, some products also require a stove and
pots that are not used elsewhere in the home. All
items have to be labeled, and most need a control,
or batch code on them also, so the individual
batches can be tracked in case of
contamination.
Skills can be self taught,
record keeping is a significant part of the
business. Ingredients are inexpensive though, and
the markup is good. Cosmetics products can be
marketed through stores, events, or online, and
this market involves significant research,
experimentation, and knowlege of the
markets.
