Welcome to the Mineral Makeup Business Yahoo Group!

Our group is designed for anyone who formulates mineral makeup either for fun or profit - and who believes in mineral makeup as a safe, healthy alternative to mainstream, petroleum-based cosmetics!

Whether you are formulating for personal use, have started giving your cosmetics to family and friends or are operating your mineral makeup business full time, as long as you love making mineral cosmetics, this Group is for you!

In this group we share information and helpful tips, hints and techniques in formulating, discuss issues and problems that effect our products and industry, talk about ideas for marketing and sales and offer support and encouragement as our businesses grow!

Topics include everything from packaging and logo design to troubleshooting & problem-solving, FDA regulations, market research, ingredients, websites, sourcing materials, promotional ideas, suppliers and sales strategies.

As a network of consumers, we will run Group Buys, Co-op Buys & Fast Buys of supplies we use daily without any unnecessary add-on fees! Buying in Bulk will not only afford us lower prices, but also give us access to materials we may not have had the ability to acquire individually.

Trades and garage sales are welcome anytime.

Vendors are welcome, however must be approved by Moderator.

New members must be approved in order to keep the spammers out.

Standard etiquette rules apply: no spamming, no flaming, no profanity, no religious or political views - this is a list for respectful professionals.

Feel free to post up to 3 lines in your signature & include your website!
