Frequently Asked Questions
Nausheen is Asked these questions a lot. Everything varies considering the complexity and scope of the project!
How long Will it take to go from concept to a product on the market?
Around 6 months if you are quick to approve all your samples, have all your packaging artwork ready, have your logo ready and we are not delayed by any ingredient or raw material suppliers. For complicated projects this process could take up to a year.
can you help me find packaging?
Yes! She has access to a variety of packaging suppliers and I can obtain low minimum order quantities on your behalf. This applies to bottles, labels, boxes and any other packaging. She can also recommend some great product graphic designers to help with the artwork you will need to provide for this.
What are your fees?
Fees depend on how complex your project is and are based on a time and materials cost that will fully discussed and proposed in advance. Additional fees apply if the scope changes unexpectedly during the project these will be kept to a minimum.
Can you make vegan and/or organic products?
Yes, before the project starts, the scope will discussed in full, including any certifications you would like your product to have. Third party certification costs may apply but Nausheen has access to some excellent quality vegan and organic ingredient suppliers.
Can you help with product regulations and labelling advice?
Yes for an additional fee. However we are not lawyers so whilst we will do our best to ensure your product labelling complies with your chosen market and your product is compliant with regulations, we cannot be liable for any resulting issues.
What are your minimum order quantities for projects?
Hopefully lower than you will find anywhere else! The aim is to be able to provide access to the beauty market for small companies who cannot afford to order in bulk like bigger companies can. The actual minimum order quantities depend on the project.

CAN YOU MAKE SAMPLES FOR ME BEFORE GOING INTO FINAL MANUFACTURE?
