Starting your soap and cosmetics business is an exciting journey but sometimes there is too much information online and it’s very time-consuming to reach a sufficient and watertight understanding. Paula will walk you through all the UK legal and compliance requirements, helping you to thoroughly understand what you need to do to be able to sell soaps and cosmetics in the UK. You’ll get the right information, step by step, in a way that it is easy to assimilate and put into action.
We’ll cover everything from cosmetic safety to labelling and trademarks so you feel confident and ready to go. You’ll save time, money and gain incredible value, learning from an experienced businesswoman whose proof lies in the outstanding success of her brand as well as the soap businesses who have launched under her expert guidance.

Hello, I’m Paula Mateo and I'm an artisan soap, skincare and home fragrance maker. I'm passionate about all things natural and nurturing, which is why I started Old Bexley Soap & Candle Co and started selling my lovingly made creations in 2014. Since then, my small business has gone from strength to strength.
I love sharing my passion for soap and candle making with my courses. I experience real joy and a sense of pride when I inspire others to create their own products, designed to care for their body, mind and soul.
I have tutored hundreds of students in both group and bespoke one-to-one courses. Whether you want to come along and learn just for fun or because you are serious about starting your own brand, I can take you by the hand through the process.
