Chairman & Co-Founder at Herb UK Ltd the Organic Hair Colour Experts

Ever wondered how small cosmetic companies can bloom into beauty industry beacons? 🌿💄 The journey from concept to shelf can be daunting for small players in the natural health and beauty sector. But what if I told you that the path to creating organic, eco-friendly cosmetics could be as clear and refreshing as the products themselves? As the Chairman of the Herb UK Group, with over three decades in the natural cosmetics and health & beauty industry, I've seen the pitfalls and peaks of this vibrant market. We've nurtured our brands like Organic Colour Systems and Tints of Nature from seedlings to stalwarts, all while keeping our B Corp commitment to the environment and reducing waste at the heart of our operations. So, how does a small cosmetic company start formulating and manufacturing products that stand out? It's about understanding that your customers are looking for more than just beauty—they're seeking a connection to nature, a commitment to green practices, and a promise of purity. Focus on the benefits, not just the features. Your customers aren't just buying a product; they're buying into a lifestyle. Show them how choosing your organic line helps them contribute to a healthier planet, how your recycling initiatives make them part of a solution, and how your natural ingredients are kind to their skin and the environment. Remember, it's not about having all the answers right away. It's about being open to collaboration and innovation. At Herb UK, we offer R&D projects, full-scale manufacturing, and distribution for white label products. We're here to help you grow. So, I'm curious, what's the biggest challenge you've faced in starting or growing your natural cosmetics line? Share your thoughts below, and let's foster a community of growth and green beauty together. #GreenBeauty #OrganicCosmetics #EcoInnovation

What a generous offer Raoul! I buy green beauty products and have always seen how brand, design and website influence me to buy those products. You are quite right, when you've not done something before it can feel very daunting - starting business is hard but with enough determination, absolutely doable. Having mentors and advisors like yourself really make things feel possible. 💄
