an overnight spot/zit treatment,that dried up spots perfectly when left on your face. would you share the secret or try to make a profit from it?

i recently broke out and made an all natural mix of stuff that dried my zits out in one night!!:j:j

my husband was shocked(as their were three zits that were massive!)

i was quick to share my news with everyone,my best friend feels i should sell the product-as its better than the leading brand!:o

the best thing of all?its 100 percent natural.:T

Well it is entirely upto you chick which route you want to take. I will say that this kind of product usually has to have laboratory tests that can cost a lot of money before they are allowed on the open market. I think you need to gather as much information about what will be required and costs before you make any decision at all. Also write to some of the larger market brands see if any of them would be willing to back you in your venture.

You never know we may see you on dragons den goodluck :-) x

If I were you I would make up a batch and give it out as testers/free samples to check that a) it works for most people b) doesn't cause allergies or reactions c) it is finacially viable.

Then if people come back asking for more - sell it to them:D
IME, word of mouth is the best marketing tool in the world!

I hate to be boring but you do need to be careful that you don't cause any harm to anyone, even natural ingredients can do damage but if you keep it at a 'local' level you can possibly make a bit of money (and satisfaction) from it and then decide to go for Dragons Den:T

Hello blaque*angel

You've had some good advice so far.;)

My thoughts are, consider fixing a label onto the container/jar to give instructions for use. Phrases such as 'avoid contact with eyes and mouth' and 'the product may cause discoloration of bed linen' will be useful.

A great spot treatment might be marred by the user having to launder their pillowcase after leaving the mixture/lotion on their face overnight.;)

There are so many people with sensitive skin and/or allergies that you risk litigation if you don't get professional advice on the way forward.

Good luck with your product, let us know how you get on.

I'd definitely test it on others perhaps close friends, family etc. just to make sure people don't break out in a rash, which would be ironic.

You also need to consider its shelf life considering it's a natural product. How long before it goes off etc. You might need the help of a scientist bod here.

Sounds good but I would take others advice. I'll happily test it out for you I spend a fortune on my spots and nothing works for me. Good luck hun xx

Puzzledbubbles

wow, well done and good luck - i agree, test it on friends and family - does your local college have a back to work or small business course? i know one near me does, if so, maybe you could speak to someone there free about how to go about making your idea into a product?

Failing that, google is always your friend

Good luck

You probably need to check that the same thing isn't already on the market too.
