Please take note of following -
1. You are required to comply with the company laws of India,
2. You are required to comply with the finance and investment laws of India,
3. You are required to comply with the tax laws of India, and
4. You are also required to comply with the medicinal laws of India as herbal products in India are governed under Pharmaceutical and Medical laws of India.

From your description, it appears your products fall within the ambit of cosmetics. If so, you would require the necessary license under the drugs and cosmetics act, 1940 for manufacture and sale of your products.

In addition to the above specific license for cosmetic goods, you would need numerous statutory licenSes for your business in general such as license under legal metrology act, state specific shops and establishment act, state specific value added tax act, factory licenses in case you have a factory to name a few.

Hope the above is helpful.
