Purchase Your First Assessment

Once you know which products you’d like to make and sell, you’ll need to purchase an assessment. This provides you with a document written in your name, giving you legal permission to sell your products in the UK and EU.

These assessments give you a list of approved ingredients such as fragrances, micas, dyes and glitters that must be used within your creations. These can all be purchased directly from Soak Rochford, so have a look around and see which colours and scents you’d like to include in your designs.
