As a certified Cosmetic Chemist and Natural Cosmetic Formulator, I offer a comprehensive and tailored approach to creating exceptional, high-quality skincare products that prioritize the use of natural and sustainable ingredients. I collaborate closely with clients to bring their skincare visions to life.
Whether you’re an emerging indie brand seeking to develop a unique product line or an established business looking to expand your offerings with natural formulations, I can provide personalized solutions that cater to your specific needs and goals. My approach combines scientific expertise with a deep appreciation for nature’s potential, ensuring that every formulation meets both efficacy and eco-conscious criteria.
My services encompass the entire product development process, from concept ideation to ingredient sourcing, formulation design, stability testing, and regulatory compliance. I take into consideration various factors, including desired product attributes, skin types, target markets, and ethical considerations, to create formulations that stand out in the market.
Formulation workflow
- Concept Ideation: Define the purpose of the product, its target audience, and desired benefits. Consider market trends and consumer preferences for natural ingredients.
- Research and Ingredient Selection: Research natural ingredients that align with the product’s purpose. Choose ingredients based on their efficacy, compatibility, and desired properties.
- Formula Design: Create a preliminary formula by combining selected ingredients in specific proportions. Consider the synergy between ingredients and their potential interactions.
- Prototype Development: Prepare a prototype formulation based on the preliminary formula. This prototype serves as the starting point for testing and refining.
- Testing and Evaluation: Conduct stability tests to assess the formulation’s shelf life and performance over time. Evaluate the prototype’s texture, scent, skin compatibility, and overall efficacy.
- Adjustments and Refinements: Based on test results, make necessary adjustments to the formulation. Fine-tune ingredient proportions, pH levels, and other factors to optimize the product.
- Safety Assessment: Ensure the product meets safety standards by conducting skin irritation and sensitization tests, microbial challenge testing, and other relevant assessments.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure the formulation complies with regulatory guidelines and labeling requirements in the target market.
- Finalization: Once the formulation meets all criteria and tests, finalize the formula. Determine the appropriate packaging and labeling for the product.
