Built for your brief, not a generic base

Every formula is developed from scratch around your exact brief, performance goals, claims, target market, regulatory requirements, and commercial price point. We do not use off-the-shelf bases, white-label shortcuts, or repurposed formulas.

Each product is engineered specifically for your brand, with ingredient selection, texture, stability, and scalability considered from day one to ensure it performs in market and at volume.

Regulatory-aware from day one

Ingredient selection, formulation strategy, and claim direction are defined upfront and aligned with Australian and key international cosmetic regulations.

This ensures compliance is engineered into the product from the earliest R&D stage, reducing regulatory risk, avoiding costly reformulations, and enabling faster, cleaner market entry across multiple regions.
