Hi. I'm based in the UK and currently developing a cosmetic product. I have a few questions regarding manufacturing and official documentation/safety testing from people who have been through a similar experience?
From a labelling standpoint, regulations require that the manufacturing address should be placed on the label... however the manufacturing address is also my parent's home address (I am currently renting in another property and contractually cannot run a business from where I stay). I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem/a similar issue and what they did about it?
Common sense tells me that all safety testing/registering as a limited business is something should be in place prior to selling the product to ensure I am not personally liable from a safety standpoint (though it is highly unlikely anything could go wrong with this idea), however individuals on a few threads on this forum have suggested ensuring product viability by making a few sales before investing in this costly testing in the first place (which definitely makes complete sense from a business perspective). Again, it would be great to hear the experiences of people who have approached it from both angles and I would be particularly interested in knowing where these initial sales occurred if the product was being tested for viability before being officially tested and confirmed?
Not sure how many uk based cosmetic product fastlaners there are on this forum and getting an outsiders perspective on the questions above would be great too!
