In lesson two objectives really include you will end in the steps required to scale up production. So, these are the topics we are going to discuss analyzing and validating the formula for doctors in safety assessments and finally, production.

So when you get this formula eventually he or she are given a formula during your training course. You should modify and tweak the formula on to desired results consistent See or function is obtained observed. You should avoid at all cost banned or known harmful ingredients no matter how attractive the same. You should combat all your ingredients quantities to percentages your formula, this will be very easy for you to scale up or scale down the batches you want to produce the quantities of the batches they're producing, ensure the total percentage equals 100% and then ensure that all the important quantities are within regionally allowed or permitted limits. If your country says sunblock should not be more than 7% Please do not go beyond 7% it is safe to not go beyond 10% at client detained stick to the rules please This will save you a lot of headache Among future men to talk about product testing, there are different ways to test your products.

Some are standard and some, you can test your product or using them personally. However, whatever unique first, ensure that it's not going to cause any reaction. Ensure your body will not tolerate them before you start using all by your body. You can test in crude way by applying a little quantity of that put up to the inner side of you. And then observe the two of us on hours overnight. If you notice any reaction like redness or rashes or kitchen, please stop using that productivity.

And go back to the drawing board. Look at the formula again and try to see which agent ingredients. And if possible, remove that ingredient. You can also have your friends and family test your product for you. Apart from their reaction to the possible allergic reaction to the product, you can test for function. For example, if you make an winterizing claim you want to be sure it actually does a good job of moisturizing your skin and doing so for a long time.

You can have your friends and family tested products and give you feedback. You can also get standard test kits from since supply laboratory product suppliers or chemists or people sell this stuff. Especially dry online shops can get it done that test teaches testings like the pH or veto alkalinity of your product. A test for your microbiological test kits to be shown a preservative preservative within the organization that impact your production rate was not contaminated during production. That has to stand out for this user, certified chemist or public analyst to test your product. These people have been trained and they have kids to do conduct stability tests for your product.

They also conduct safety assessment and microbiological tests. So, if you're going to sell commercially, it is best to use the most standard form of product testing offered by certified carriers. And last but not least, we talk about production that is producing your perfume cosmetics All skincare products become produced by yourself. Definitely a training you dive into how produce, you have learned the steps of production for each production. So if you're going to produce yourself the first and foremost thing you should do is to decide on what you want to produce. You want to know the function of the production.

For me, why are you making it easy to moisturize your skin to condition your lips, is it to provide some protection for you decide on what you want to put up to do and that to determine the kind of ingredients or active ingredients to include. So after that to formulate present the ingredients you have decided to use. And then you're going to produce following the required steps which you must document they can also have a private label Custom formulation company under your production, in this case, they are going to produce for you using their own formula or modifying that formula to suit what you desire. However, if you your products are made by private label companies or police for using custom formulation, you are not going to be the owner of the formula unless you pay a hefty sum of money. So you're just going to get their own products, but it will be labeled with your own name, your brand name or whatever.

Another possible way of getting your kudos out into the market is to get them produce through contract manufacturer. In this situation, we will give you a formula to a company to produce for Exactly as stated in a formula, we use the old formula to make a production product you have your brand name and all your personal information for your business information on your products and your packages. However, note of caution here, if you are going to use the services of a contract manufacturer, first and foremost, both have issues sign a nondisclosure agreement. Before you even give out your formula to that company. sign a nondisclosure agreement you find conduct templates of non disclosure agreements on the internet. Some are free, some may not be free, so whichever way you want, get one, get it signed, get the contract on factoring company to sign so that they will not disclose a formula to a third party.

You should also sign a non compete agreement with them, especially the manufacturing and selling their own brand of the same product. you require them to produce one and then sign a non compete agreements to ensure that you don't start producing exactly what they're producing, thereby serving as competition for your products. So that's that for lesson two. In lesson three, we're going to discuss branding and selling of your products. Thank you very much for your attention.
