How long does the process of creating a custom formulation take?

While the whole process takes on average 3 months, you’ll receive the first sample within 3/4 weeks from the date you order it.

The first step is to discuss TOGETHER the ingredient list.

After that, I will put together a preliminary ingredients list for your revision. Once confirmed, we are all set! I will take care of ordering all the raw materials I need (at no additional cost for you) and create the first prototype. 

After you receive the sample, you can either approve it (:)) or request a modification. 

You have 2 revisions included in the lab fee.

Want to launch within 3 months? No problem, we accept rush orders for an additional fee.

What does your fee include?

Our lab fee includes the following: 

•  creation of a custom formula and a physical sample + 2 additional revisions. 
• Detailed description of the manufacturing procedure (videos available upon request), tips on finding raw materials suppliers.
• Cost to make 1 kg of product.

During our collaboration you’ll have unlimited free email consultation with me.​ This means I will share my knowledge and industry insights with you at no cost.

Stability tests are not included, but we partner with Abich Lab and are able to provide such service for an additional fee.

Luisa, why should I work with you?

Because I am not just a cosmetic chemist. I created my own line of skincare products starting from literally nothing.

I did myself what you’re trying to do…I’m familiar with the industry and the challenges.

I want you to succeed and I will do whatever I can to help you achieve your dream.  

Are you able to formulate using only “natural” ingredients?

Absolutely. I’ve been doing this for years now and  even found great natural replacements for synthesis ingredients. Contact me for more details.

How much does it cost?

Formulation fee is $4,000 (includes what mentioned above). If you purchase two or more formulations at the same time, we offer a 10% discount

We also offer the following other services:

• One hour consultation : $300

“Luisa, this is expensive! “

Wrong!

You’ll recover the investment within the first 100 units you sell  (or less). There’s no way you won’t be able to sell at least 100 units using the tips I will give you.
