Looking to set up a small business in Spain, selling essential oils and the base cosmetics for people to add their own oils to. Product will be made in the uk at a well respected manufacturer.
Curious what the main competition will be, prices they charge etc.
Also what the likely demand might be.

I've always been able to find essential oils and carrier oils here. I don't know what the demand is but availability seems to be ok - at least in any reasonably sized town/city or online.

Appreciate essential oils are widely available but can vary in quality.
I was thinking more handwash, handcream and face cream bases. Are these readily available and what brands are popular in Spain.

If you are going to be sourcing your materials in the UK then it would be wise to wait until after the Brexit trade arrangements are finalised as tariffs may put you at a serious disadvantage wrt locally/EU based businesses

Luckily supplier also has german factory, so not an issue.

Rule 10 states that research is not allowed so I have to close this thread.
