Structured R&D Methodology

Our 4-Stage Formulation Lifecycle

A systematic technical roadmap designed to mitigate risk, accelerate formula finalization, and ensure seamless transfer from benchtop to high-speed commercial filling lines.

PHASE 01

Technical Brief & Sourcing

Definition of active percentages, benchmark goals, target ingredient exclusion lists (Sephora Clean, Credo, Whole Foods), and commercial margin targets.

PHASE 02

Lab Prototyping

Formulation of laboratory bench prototypes. Review of rheology, scent, texture, and physical characteristics followed by iterative sample rounds.

PHASE 03

Analytical & Preservative Testing

Deployment of accelerated stability, PET challenges, and container-closure compatibility tests to confirm formula safety across global supply chains.

PHASE 04

Pilot Batch & Scale-Up

Pilot batch production to validate mixing parameters, emulsification dynamics, and viscosity stability prior to full-scale commercial manufacturing.

Regulatory & Clean Standards

Formulating for Global Compliance

Navigate complex domestic and global cosmetic regulations with confidence through our built-in compliance verification procedures.

MoCRA (Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act)

Our formulation processes comply directly with mandatory FDA facility registrations, product listings, safety substantiations, and adverse event logging required for sale in the United States.

Global Clean Standards Alignment

Formulations can be customized to comply with EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, Health Canada, ASEAN cosmetic directives, and major international clean beauty retailer matrices.

Raw Material Transparency & Traceability

Full documentation support including Certificates of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), TSE/BSE free declarations, and non-animal testing documentation provided for every batch.

Packaging Compatibility Screening

We test formulation interactions against specific plastics, glass, aluminium, and eco-friendly PCR materials to prevent container degradation, weight loss, or discoloration.
