Define & Align

We immerse ourselves in your brand vision – agreeing benchmarks, textures, packaging goals, and cost targets to set a clear foundation for development.

Critical Path

Detailed timeplan is created to map out and track:
formulation development and testing, pack development and testing, regulatory requirements, artwork flow, lead times, in-bound raw material and pack deliveries and production plan.

Formulation Proposal

Our R&D team develops bespoke formulation proposals outlining active ingredients, performance claims, pack copy elements, recommended packaging components, and indicative costings.
We also support Technical Transfers and Contract Fill for existing formulations.

Sample Submission

Lab samples are shared for evaluation, reviewing texture, application, fragrance and user experience through sensory testing.
Feedback is used to refine and iterate until the formulation is approved.

Packaging Sample Submission

Unbranded packaging samples are presented for review and selection.
We also offer Free-Issue packaging models (customer-nominated or customer-supplied).

Costs Submission

Present costs based on formulation and packaging submissions.

Formulation Approval

Approved samples are supplied in lab-standard containers as reference.

Packaging Approval

Final product specifics confirmed with a prototype sample.

Cost Approval

Final pricing agreed based on approved formulation and packaging used in the prototype sample.

Testing

In-house Stability Testing is undertaken with 12-week period to assess product performance and shelf-life under controlled conditions.
In-house Compatability Testing evaluates formula-packaging interaction to ensure durability and product integrity.
User trials are conducted for sensory and efficacy testing with an independent consumer panel.
Clinical trials are undertaken to substantiate measurable data.

Regulatory Compliance

Our Regulatory team performs detailed due diligence on all raw material documentation, verifying supplier data against current regulatory frameworks.
This includes assessing safety, regional restrictions, and compliance with evolving legislation such as EU Cosmetic Regulation, UK REACH, and FDA requirements where applicable.
Throughout development, we ensure the formula, claims, labelling, and finished product remain compliant with the regulatory standards of each intended market, supporting a smooth path to launch.
