FAQ
How long does a custom formulation take?
Delivery is 3 to 7 days depending on your package and the number of formulas. Rush delivery is available as an extra.
Which skincare and haircare products can you formulate?
Creams, lotions, serums, cleansers, facial oils, balms, shampoos, conditioners, hair masks and hair oils. Tell me your skin or hair concern and target market in your brief.
What will I receive?
A formula with ingredient percentages, INCI list and step-by-step method. Standard and Premium add manufacturing and supplier guidance, and Premium includes stability guidance and reverse engineering.
Can you reverse engineer an existing product?
Yes, in the Premium package. I analyse the ingredients and performance and build a comparable formula, optimised where possible. It's a similar formula, not an exact copy of a proprietary one.
Can you provide a physical sample?
Yes, as a Gig Extra. Message me first to confirm.
