Selecting quality, sustainable, vegan and cruelty-free beauty, hair, and skincare products for your salon is essential for attracting and retaining customers. But how do you find the right products for your beauty salon?
By working with all types of companies involved in the development, distribution and retail of cosmetic and personal care products in the UK, the CTPA promote best practice and provide guidance on how to comply with the demanding regulatory requirements for cosmetics.
The CTPA functions in several ways and provides support for the cosmetic industry, such as:
- Delivering a diverse range of products for people of various ages, genders and ethnicities, enabling the cosmetics and personal care business to provide excellence and enhance well-being.
- Act as a credible authority for a dependable and accountable UK industry that can be relied on to act responsibly for consumers.
- Collaborating with every stakeholder to guarantee that premium cosmetic and personal care supplies are created to meet the most stringent safety standards.
- The CTPA’s sustainability strategy promotes best practices and cross-sector stakeholder collaboration to drive transformation throughout the system for beneficial environmental outcomes.
Sustainable Beauty Salon, Hair, Beauty and Skin Care Products
The demand for natural-ingredient, sustainable cosmetics, beauty and skin care products is growing as customers become more aware of how their choices affect the environment. When you choose to purchase products from SalonServe, you can demonstrate a real commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices.
The CTPA sustainability strategy, “Driving Towards a Net Positive Cosmetics Industry,” together with Forum for the Future, a leading international non-profit, is regarded as a new mode of operation that contributes more to the environment and the global economy than it takes out.
This means that when you buy beauty, hair and skincare products from SalonServe, you can be confident that you are purchasing sustainable cosmetic products that are made to the highest possible safety standards.

How to Avoid Buying Counterfeit Products
At SalonServe, we go by the three P’s that can help you check if an item is counterfeit or genuine:
- Point of sale — When you buy from SalonServe and other reputable suppliers, you don’t need to worry about counterfeit products. Fake products are a serious issue on sites that permit individual sellers to just open an account and then disappear. Although trading standards work hard to prosecute sellers of illegal counterfeit products, unfortunately, it is just too easy for these individuals to find places where they can sell their products online.
- Packaging — The most common indications of fake goods are lack of or poor quality packaging, a logo that isn’t the same as shown on the company website, misspellings of company names or errors in the product descriptions.
- Price — Sometimes, you might get a genuine product that is discounted, and a low price does not necessarily mean the product is fake. But, if you are ordering from an individual seller through a site like eBay or Amazon and the price is too low, the chances are the products are not real.
Nevertheless, counterfeit products generate huge profits, and it is often exceedingly challenging to tell the difference. This is why consistently purchasing products from a reliable source, such as respected retailers or an official website, is the most effective way to avoid purchasing counterfeit items.
