Yes. We work with founders, brands and creators from early idea stage through to formulation, sampling, testing, manufacturing and packaging. You do not need to have a finished formula before contacting us.

Yes. We can help develop custom formulations across skincare, cosmetics, haircare, personal care and selected supplement products. This can include texture, active ingredients, scent, format, packaging compatibility and product positioning.

Yes. Depending on the product category, we may be able to support private label, white label or stock base options. This is often a faster pathway if you want to launch sooner or test the market before investing in a fully custom formula.

Minimum order quantities depend on the product type, formula complexity, packaging, ingredient requirements and production method. Some projects are better suited to smaller startup runs, while others require higher volumes due to raw material, packaging or manufacturing requirements.

Costs vary depending on whether you need custom formulation, sampling, testing, packaging sourcing, ingredient sourcing and manufacturing. Once we understand your product idea, target market, quantity and packaging preferences, we can guide you on the likely development and production costs.

Yes. Sampling is usually part of the product development process. Samples allow you to review the texture, scent, colour, performance and overall product feel before moving into larger scale manufacturing.

Timelines vary by project. A simple private label or stock formula project may move faster, while a custom formulation can take longer due to development, revisions, ingredient sourcing, testing and packaging compatibility. As a guide, allow time for briefing, sampling, feedback, testing and production.

Yes. We can help advise on packaging options and compatibility for your product. Packaging is an important part of the process because the formula, fill method, stability and customer experience all need to work together.

Yes. Testing and compliance requirements depend on the product category and where you plan to sell. This may include stability testing, compatibility testing, microbial testing, label review and guidance around compliant product claims.

Yes. Many people contact us at the idea stage. The best starting point is to tell us what you want to make, who it is for, where you want to sell it, your preferred packaging, your budget range and any benchmark products you like.

To provide meaningful guidance, we usually need your product type, target market, desired quantity, packaging idea, whether you want custom or private label, any benchmark products, where you plan to sell and your preferred launch timeline.

Our team reviews your project details and may ask for more information before recommending the best next step. This may include a call, project brief, formulation discussion, sampling pathway or manufacturing estimate.
