We're often asked whether it is "really possible" to make a business out of making and selling cosmetic products, candles and home fragrance products.
We're pleased to have been involved in the training of many students who are now running successful businesses - whether we helped them with their product development, cosmetic product safety assessment, CLP or in some other advisory capacity, we are pleased and proud to see them celebrate their success.
Here are just a few of our past students' websites...
