Formulating Services

Formulated for you

We work with you from the ground up to help

conceptualise and develop your new formula from

scratch. No stone is unturned as we look at all options.



Formulated for you: Custom Skincare Formulation Tailored to Your Brand


We create bespoke skincare formulations designed entirely around your unique brief. Whether you’re developing a new product line or refining an existing concept, our expert formulation team works closely with you to translate your vision into a high-performance, market-ready product. From ingredient selection to texture, scent, and functionality, every element is carefully considered to ensure your formulation aligns perfectly with your brand identity and target audience.


Advanced Research & Development for Innovative Skincare Solutions


Our dedicated research and development (R&D) team is committed to delivering innovative, results-driven skincare solutions. We continuously explore the latest advancements in cosmetic science, active ingredients, and formulation technologies to ensure your product stands out in a competitive market. By combining scientific expertise with industry trends, we develop formulations that are not only effective but also aligned with consumer demand, regulatory standards, and sustainability goals.


Formula Refinement 


We understand that achieving the perfect skincare product takes collaboration and precision. That’s why we offer up to four complimentary formulation adjustments as part of our development process. This allows you to refine texture, performance, fragrance, and overall feel until your product meets your exact expectations. Our iterative approach ensures you are fully satisfied before moving to production, reducing risk and maximising product success.


Quality Control and Stability Testing


Once your formulation is approved, it undergoes comprehensive quality control and stability testing to ensure it is safe, effective, and compliant with industry regulations. Our testing protocols evaluate factors such as shelf life, consistency, microbial safety, and performance under various conditions. This rigorous process guarantees that your skincare product maintains its integrity from manufacturing through to end-user application, giving you complete confidence in your final product.



Formula Blueprints

A private label formula, ready for your choice of key ingredients and fragrance. This option is great for customers that want to move quickly.




Formula Blueprints: Fast-Track Private Label Skincare Solutions


Our Formula Blueprints service is designed for brands that want to launch high-quality skincare products quickly and efficiently. Using our proven private label formulations, you can bring products to market faster while still maintaining a level of customisation that reflects your brand identity. This solution is ideal for startups, growing brands, or businesses looking to expand their product range without the time and cost associated with fully custom formulation.


Proven Base Formulations from Our Expert Library


We provide access to a curated library of ready-to-use skincare formulations, each developed by experienced cosmetic chemists and tested for performance, safety, and market relevance. Every base formula is carefully designed to be fit for purpose, whether you're creating moisturisers, cleansers, serums, or body care products. This ensures a reliable foundation that accelerates your product development timeline while maintaining professional quality standards.


Customise with Hero Ingredients and Signature Fragrance


To make your product uniquely yours, we offer a guided selection of active ingredients and fragrance options. You can choose a hero ingredient that aligns with your brand story—such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or botanical extracts—along with a fragrance that enhances the user experience. This approach allows for meaningful differentiation while keeping the development process streamlined and cost-effective.


Formula Refinement 


Even with a ready-made base, we understand the importance of fine-tuning. Whether you’d like to tweak texture, absorption, or scent intensity, our team will work with you to ensure the final product meets your expectations and aligns with your brand vision.


Optional Preservative Efficacy / Challenge Testing


For brands requiring additional validation, we offer preservative efficacy testing (PET) and microbial challenge testing as optional services. These tests are essential for confirming that your product remains safe and stable throughout its shelf life, particularly in formulations containing water or natural ingredients. While available at an additional cost, these services provide added assurance of product safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term performance.


Formula Foundations

Designed for clients who already have an existing

formula that is in production, but is ready to upscale

or perhaps is having issues with stability or quality.



Formula Foundations: Optimise, Scale, and Strengthen Your Existing Skincare Formulation


Our Formula Foundations service is designed for brands that already have an established skincare product but are ready to scale production, improve stability, or enhance overall performance. Whether you’re experiencing formulation challenges or preparing for growth, our expert team works to refine and future-proof your product. This service is ideal for businesses transitioning from small-batch production to commercial manufacturing, or those seeking to resolve quality and consistency issues.


In-Depth Formula Analysis and Technical Assessment


We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your existing skincare formulation and manufacturing process. Our cosmetic chemists carefully analyse ingredient composition, processing methods, and performance characteristics to identify any weaknesses or inefficiencies. From stability issues and texture inconsistencies to ingredient compatibility, we pinpoint the root causes and develop targeted solutions to improve product reliability and quality.


Targeted Reformulation and Product Enhancement


Based on our findings, we conduct focused research and development to optimise your formula. This may include improving stability, enhancing product efficacy, refining sensory attributes, or ensuring better compatibility between ingredients. Our goal is to elevate your product so it performs consistently at scale while meeting modern consumer expectations and regulatory requirements.


In-House Stability Testing and Optional Advanced Testing Services


Once your updated formulation is approved, it undergoes in-house stability testing to assess how it performs over time under various environmental conditions. This step is critical for confirming shelf life, consistency, and product integrity.


For additional assurance, we also offer preservative efficacy testing (PET) / microbial challenge testing as optional services. These advanced tests help verify that your product remains safe from microbial contamination, particularly important for water-based or natural formulations. While available at an additional cost, these services provide an extra layer of confidence in your product’s safety, compliance, and long-term performance.

Before We Begin Development 


We have a research and development fee, which needs to be paid up-front before any formulating begins.



The price of your product is often affected by the following factors: 

  • Will the product have a certification? Certified organic, NaTrue, Biogro? EcoCert, Cosmos.
  • The volume of your vessel (e.G. 50GM vs 500GM).
  • The size of your first run (e.G. 500 vs 2,000 units).
  • The amount of labour involved in manufacture or packing (e.g. multiple labels, complex boxes).
  • Pricing of testing for hypoallergenic/spf/antiaging claims etc.
