If you are looking to start an eCommerce business, beauty products could be an effective choice of goods to sell. Importantly, you should understand cosmetics laws in New Zealand to ensure you comply with all relevant regulations. This article will outline what you need to consider when setting up an online cosmetics business, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>your business plan;<\/li><li>cosmetics regulations;<\/li><li>your business structure; and\u00a0<\/li><li>relevant taxes.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Business Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/business-structures\/start-a-business-in-new-zealand\/\">setting up any business<\/a>, there are some essential matters you need to consider. Firstly, you should determine your target market and your potential customers. You should consider if you have a specific brand that you want to create.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n    <p>Perhaps you want to sell Korean beauty products or create a unique online perfume store.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, you will get a better idea of the goods you could sell and the forum through which you can offer your products. You might sell goods through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>your own website;<\/li><li>an existing third-party marketplace like TradeMe; or<\/li><li>social media.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you should consider where you want to source your goods. You could:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>get them manufactured yourself;&nbsp;<\/li><li>make your own products; or&nbsp;<\/li><li>buy products and resell them.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential to take the time to consider what will make your business stand out and be unique. Many people are now buying and selling goods online, so you want to ensure that you stand out in an oversaturated beauty industry. This is important for the overall success of your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cosmetics Regulations&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are selling imported cosmetics, you have a responsibility to ensure that products meet the standards set by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.govt.nz\/\">Environmental Protection Authorities<\/a> (EPA). This ensures that the products you sell do not have any hazardous substances and are safe for people to use. Check the <em>Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act<\/em> to see the complete list of hazardous substances. These regulations apply to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>soap;<\/li><li>shampoo;<\/li><li>skincare products;<\/li><li>toothpaste;&nbsp;<\/li><li>deodorant;&nbsp;<\/li><li>shaving products;<\/li><li>perfume;&nbsp;<\/li><li>makeup; and<\/li><li>self-tanning products.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n    <p>All cosmetics products should highlight any possibly irritating ingredients, state a clear list of ingredients and provide instructions for safe use. The instructions should be in English.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you should ensure that you know if your products contain any nanomaterials. These are small micro-plastics that some cosmetics products include, especially skincare products. Microplastics are illegal in New Zealand, so you will be unable to sell any products with nanomaterials in them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl

As a sole trader or business partner, you will need to pay income tax on the money that you distribute to yourself. If you register your online business as a company, you will need to pay both company tax and income tax on any salaries you pay yourself. You must prioritise sorting your taxes when you begin your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"my-7 lg:my-10 border-y-2 border-gray-100 py-7 lg:py-10 flex flex-col sm:flex-row items-start gap-10\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-52 mx-auto my-0! rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/img.legalvision.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/16124322\/performance-improvement-plan-wp-1.jpg\" alt=\"Front page of publication\"\n                 loading=\"lazy\" width=\"208\" height=\"298\">\n                <section>\n            <div class=\"text-2xl font-bold\"> Performance Improvement Plan<\/div>\n            <div class=\"body-text\">\n                <p>When your employee does not perform at the expected level, a performance improvement plan (PIP) may be required to get them back on track.
