Formulation Review – Expert Check by a Cosmetic Chemist
£195.00 + VAT (£234.00 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 expert 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 exact ingredient percentages), our in-house Senior Chemist & EU-Certified Safety Assessor, Vasilis, will carry out a detailed professional assessment. You’ll receive a written report including:
- Ingredient Analysis – A full breakdown of each ingredient, with profiles, usage guidelines, and regulatory considerations
- Improvement Suggestions – Recommendations for substitutions, increases, or reductions to improve performance, compliance, or cost-efficiency
- IFRA Guidance – Notes on fragrance components and legal limits where applicable
- Method of Manufacture (MoM) – A production-ready step-by-step outline
- Testing Recommendations – Guidance on whether stability, challenge, or compatibility testing is advised before moving to CPSR
We also assess the structure and integrity of your formulation to ensure it meets industry standards for safety, functionality, and scalability.
Who Is This For?
- Skincare brand owners preparing for a CPSR or launch
- Formulators seeking professional validation before moving forward
- Creators unsure if their formula is balanced, stable, or compliant
- Anyone looking to save time and money before scaling up to manufacture
