If you want to start a beauty or skin care line or add new products to your current line, a cosmetic chemist can help you develop new formulations. Working with a cosmetic chemist, like those at Freelance Formulations, allows you to experiment with ingredients to create moisturizing, healing, or anti-aging products. Our team will help you incorporate ingredients that align with your brand’s mission and your customers’ goals. Here are a few tips for developing new cosmetics:
1. Select a Product Type
When you want to develop a new cosmetic product, determine which specific types of products you’re interested in. Cosmetic products have various purposes and applications, including skin care, hair care, makeup, perfume, and more. Choose a product type that aligns with your customers' interests and your past offerings. This may make your customer base more willing to try the new product.
If you currently carry a wide range of cosmetic products, evaluate your items to determine which ones could be upgraded or supplemented. This will help you create a more balanced inventory that meets your customers’ grooming and beauty needs. Freelance Formulations offers a range of stock formulations to help simplify your product development process.
2. Explore Ingredient Options
Research cosmetic products to determine which ingredients you want to include in your new formula. You can add extra moisturizing ingredients, anti-aging components, or rich pigments to make your products more effective. You can also explore clean, safe ingredients that improve the quality of your product while making it more attractive to customers who value natural goods.
A cosmetic chemist at Freelance Formulations can help you create products that are organic, all-natural, vegan, plant-based, or cruelty-free. We can also create custom cosmetic formulations that are FDA-approved and Whole Foods certified. Working with our chemists gives you access to high-quality ingredients that align with your brand’s values.
3. Test Samples for Quality
Once you’ve selected your ingredients and developed your product formula, your chemist should send you a sample of the product to help you assess its appearance, scent, consistency, and effectiveness. At Freelance Formulations, we can send you samples of our stock or custom formulas. If you want to make adjustments to the custom formulation, inform our team as soon as possible.
Once you approve your cosmetic samples, send the formula to a manufacturer to start producing large or small batches. Check the containers and labels of your new products to confirm they look and function as intended. Some manufacturers may offer a range of packaging and labeling options to help you further customize your cosmetics.
