   I've had really good feedback for the creams and lotions I made for the Xmas fairs and I am being encouraged to produce and market them on a larger scale.

   Does anyone know where I should go to find out about any legal requirements regarding: testing/labeling/resale/ingredient restrictions, etc? I'm okay about producing on a fairly small scale but unsure whether I want to go beyond the point at which things start to get serious!

   Any info as to where the lines are drawn would be very much appreciated.

   There is some information on http://www.aromantic.co.uk, not sure if it will be enough for what you want though.

   Thanks for that - A bit overwhelming though - the documentation runs to 80 pages!

   Hey Dizzy why don't you do one of Aromantic's Natural Body Products course. You would love it and you could pick their brains about the legalities at the same time. Also you are, as an IFA registered and insured practitioner able to make body products up to - I think £10,000 worth a year, which should keep you going. Check it on the IFA website. Hope this helps.

   Hey, I was thinking about legalities regarding producing on a larger scale and came across a course plush folly were running.

   It's a distant learining course, 2nd from the bottom on the page

   Thank you both for the leads which I shall definitely investigate - 'It furthers one to have somewhere to go'!
