Abstract:
Natural cosmetics are a rising trend, and consumers are seeking products that are less synthetic
and more sustainable. In this context, the pharmacist is a qualified professional to develop safe
and natural formulations. However, there are bureaucratic steps that must be followed, and
many pharmacists are unaware of these requirements. This study aimed to develop a business
plan and resulted in answers to the central guiding question: “What do I need to start a soap-
making business?” A financial plan, marketing strategy, and brand concept were developed. In
addition to topics such as entrepreneurship, financial management, basic accounting, and
chemical knowledge of reactions, standard operating procedures were created to serve as
guidelines for carrying out activities. It was concluded that this business model is viable and
feasible due to the associated costs and growing market demand. Furthermore, the inclusion of
courses focused on business management and entrepreneurship is essential.
