You will provide a product brief with details regarding your brand and product desires. This helps us tailor your products to integrate with the essence of your brand and uphold your brand philosophy. This is where we’ll collect details like target price and ingredient desires. Don’t worry, we can walk you through this if you don’t already have it nailed down. After this step we determine whether the project is feasible, provide a quote to you and you decide if you are ready to move forward. Once you’re ready, you’ll pay a deposit in accordance with the formula ownership payment plan option you’ve selected.

We’ll provide an initial product idea with highlight ingredients and product description and you’ll provide your packaging. We will work together to make sure the product format is compatible with the packaging you’ve chosen.

This is the most exciting and longest time frame for your project. We’ll go through 2-4 rounds of prototype development to achieve the product you love. You’ll receive new prototypes each round and you’ll complete a feedback form after you’ve evaluated the samples. The initial round will take approximately 4 weeks for us to receive materials and do our initial development tests. Each subsequent round will generally take approximately 2 weeks.

You love your product sample and are ready to move forward! You’ll sign off so we know we can move onto the next stage.

We’ll start your formula on in-house stability testing. It’s important for you to provide samples of your final packaging for this test to be valid. We can also help facilitate other third party testing requirements on an as needed basis.

If you have decided to use our small batch manufacturing services we’ll collect a Purchase Order and deposit, order materials and start manufacturing! If you will be using a different manufacturer, we’ll provide you with your formula, manufacturing instructions, and supplier list and can work with them on the scale up. We can also help match you with a manufacturer to meet your needs.
