FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Getting started has never been easier. First, upon receiving your payment, I will provide you with a comprehensive checklist detailing all the necessary information required to initiate my review process. If you encounter any difficulties or have questions regarding the checklist, please feel free to reach out, as I am available to assist you.
This checklist allows me to thoroughly review the ingredients you have sourced from your supplier, ensuring compatibility and compliance. Specifically, I will verify that no ingredients are banned, that all ingredients are within their usage limits, and that they are safe for skin application. Furthermore, I will check that no ingredient combinations are patented and will provide you with a compliant ingredients list. Once the review is complete, I will offer detailed and knowledgeable feedback to help refine your product formulation.
If you are satisfied with the feedback, I will then proceed to order the necessary ingredients.
Once all the required ingredients have been received, the process of creating your product sample begins. First, I will take the prepared formulation and develop it into a tangible product sample.
This phase may take up to two weeks; however, minor adjustments might be necessary to ensure the product aligns perfectly with your brief. Once the sample meets the required standards, I will send it directly to you for evaluation and feedback.
Please note that, if you are located outside of Australia, an additional shipping fee will apply for the delivery of the sample. Alternatively, if you prefer not to receive a physical sample, I can provide detailed photo and video documentation instead.
Upon receiving your feedback and approval of the sample, I will proceed with finalising your documentation and completing the service. Furthermore, once this service is completed, you will receive the following:
- Unlimited sessions for advice on the product formulation.
- A comprehensive labelling requirements guide specific to your country of origin.
- A detailed claims regulatory guide.
- An intellectual property transfer assignment.
Our Packages
Discounts available when booking more than one formulation development.
Popular
Basic Formulation Development
For simple & straightforward formulations. Best suited to products with uncomplicated formulation structures that do not require extensive R&D or multiple rounds of optimisation. Ideal for: Body oils, facial oils, balms, body butters, simple scrubs, bath products and other low-complexity formulations.
$900.00
Per Product
Our Basic Package Includes:
- A custom formulation sheet with a detailed method of preparation
- One prototype sample (30ml, 50ml, or 100ml, depending on the product type)
- A compliant ingredient list to ensure regulatory adherence
- A curated raw material supplier list
- A comprehensive labelling guide
- A concise claims guide for compliant marketing statements
-
An intellectual property transfer assignment granting you full ownership of the formulation
What makes it Basic? Development is relatively straightforward, with one prototype and minimal formulation optimisation required.
Custom Formulation Development
For formulations requiring greater development & optimisation. Designed for conventional cosmetic products that require more technical formulation work, ingredient research and refinement to achieve the desired performance and sensory characteristics. Ideal for: Creams, lotions, cleansers, serums, gels, shampoos, conditioners, deodorants and other conventional water-based or emulsified products.
$1,200.00

Intellectual Property Transfer Assignment
What makes it Custom? These products require more R&D than a Basic formulation, with additional ingredient selection, technical development and optimisation to achieve the client's desired product characteristics.
Advanced Formulation Development
For complex, innovative & performance-driven formulations. Designed for products that require significantly more research, technical development and prototype optimisation than conventional cosmetic formulations. This includes hybrid products, advanced colour cosmetics, innovative concepts and formulations with challenging or highly specific performance requirements.
$1,800.00
Per Product
Includes everything in the previous packages, plus:
- Extensive technical and formulation research
