Formulation Review – Expert Check by a Cosmetic Chemist
£250.00 + VAT (£300.00 incl. VAT)
Have you created your own skincare formula and want to ensure it’s safe, effective, and ready for compliance or manufacturing? Our Formulation Review service gives you professional feedback from a highly experienced Cosmetic Chemist — helping you refine and perfect your recipe with confidence.
Whether you’re an indie brand owner, a passionate formulator, or simply unsure about the next step, this service bridges the gap between DIY and professional-grade skincare.
🌿 What’s Included
Once we receive your completed formula (with full INCI names and exact ingredient percentages), our in-house Senior Chemist & EU-Certified Safety Assessor will carry out a detailed professional assessment.
Your written report will include:
✔ Ingredient Analysis – Full breakdown of each ingredient, including usage guidelines and regulatory considerations
✔ Improvement Suggestions – Recommendations for tweaks to improve compliance, performance, or cost-efficiency
✔ IFRA Guidance – Notes on fragrance components and legal limits where applicable
✔ Method of Manufacture (MoM) – Production-ready step-by-step instructions
✔ Testing Recommendations – Advice on stability, challenge, and compatibility testing where relevant
We also evaluate the integrity and scalability of your formulation to ensure it meets industry standards.
⚠️ Important Information
This service is designed for formulas that are already at a professional standard and close to being market-ready. If your recipe requires significant reformulation to meet UK/EU cosmetic regulations, we’ll recommend our Custom Formulation Service instead.
