Anyone have experience in the cosmetics industry?

Looking to introduce a lotion/hand cream type product and would love some resources on breaking into the industry, regulations, negotiating with manufacturers, validating demand, etc.

How big of barriers/investment am I looking at to validate demand for my solution?

I’ve already run it through GradeMyBusinessIdea.com and it looks like a winner with a B to B+ rating.
