Unfortunately this part is an absolute must, so we&#8217;ll get the boring stuff out of the way quickly. But why is it so important?<\/p><p>Research and compliance are two of the main things you need to establish to ensure you\u2019re able to operate a skincare business legally and ethically. If you don&#8217;t truly understand what it takes to run a business of this nature, you&#8217;ll be setting up hurdles for your future self. Nobody wants to make a job harder than it has to be, right?<\/p><p>This industry is heavily regulated (and rightly so, we\u2019re talking about skin here), There are many rules, regulations and Acts that apply to you. Researching will allow you to find out all you need to know in the preparation and running of a skincare business. Compliance is huge in this industry, particularly in Australia. You cannot just whip up a body cream in your home kitchen and sell it to a consumer. There are rules and guidelines that apply to the setup of where you manufacture. Your business may also need specific registrations, permits and permission to operate, especially if you will be operating from home.<\/p><p>If you don\u2019t know where to start, start by doing a deep dive into all the resources and courses on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincarebusinessfoundations.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skincare Business Foundations<\/a>. There you can read up on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincarebusinessfoundations.com.au\/free-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Australian Cosmetic Regulations<\/a> that may apply to you. Jennifer Rudd started Skincare Business Foundations after building her own skincare business. She completed degrees in business, psychology and 10+ years in risk management, auditing and compliance and even completed a Certificate in Cosmetic Regulatory Essentials. Her website is a wealth of knowledge that is a must read if you want to start a skincare business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e29c54d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e29c54d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"sec2\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">AICIS<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75a9c8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"75a9c8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Anyone that makes soap, bath and skin products or cosmetics may need to register with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.industrialchemicals.gov.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AICIS<\/a>.

Because of this, many businesses skip this step, though they feel it in the long run as it is just as crucial as any step in starting a business. Having a plan will not only help with your ideas and direction, it will ensure you are financially capable and your business idea is a realistic one at that.<\/p><p>Your business plan can be as minimal or as extensive as you like though the more in depth the better.

Not only does it tell you what you need to improve on or what you\u2019re doing amazing at, it also provides social proof and trust to potential customers.\u00a0<\/p><p><em>Psst! Google Reviews also now contribute towards SEO efforts. The more trustworthy and authoritative you seem, the higher you rank.<\/em><\/p><p>Loyalty is also important. When customers are loyal it&#8217;s because they love the product, they love the cause, and they love supporting your Small Business. If your customers are sharing the love, make sure it\u2019s clear in your marketing. Share reviews on your social media and add them to your website too.<\/p><p>The first few years of launching a business can be tough.
