What is Cosmetic Product Development?
Cosmetic
Product development is a process in which a Cosmetic Chemist gathers detailed information from the
client in order to conduct a set of experiments to meet a desired outcome for both Chemist and client.
Information gathered consists of preferred ingredients, product consistency, application, feel, and
effectiveness, to name a few. The Cosmetic Chemist will then use their expertise combined with research to
create a formula unique to the market place.
Cosmetic Product Development Benefits:
The
type of client that will benefit the most from Cosmetic Product Development is someone who already has
success with their current product offerings and/or looking to add an exclusive product to their salon, spa
or
barbershop. Although we offer 65+ customizable formulas for you to brand as your very own, we understand
that
you may want to offer a new product based solely on your specifications and/or may want to add a new formula
to
your existing brand. Perhaps you want to develop a product that is not offered via Private Label. This is a
great way to get innovative and creative!
About Our Chemist:
Adrianne
White is the Owner and Founder of Envii Labs, Inc. She has a Bachelor’s of Science in Forensic Chemistry
and a Masters of Business Administration. She has operated in the Private Label Manufacturing industry for
nearly 9 years. In the beginning, she offered Cosmetic Product Development, however, due to heavy demand for
Private Label and scaling operations, it was terminated. As of the 1st Quarter of 2025, she is
excited to reintroduce the service after formulating hundreds of products and servicing tens of thousands of
clients over the years.
What You Can Expect From Our Chemist:
During
the product development phase, our Chemist will provide you with adequate updates pertaining to your
experiment. Ideally, the goal is to get it right the first time, but that is not always the case, so there
may
be a need to rework a formula two or three times to gain client approval. Price of product development
includes
the cost to experiment up to three times. After the third attempt, there will be a fee for each attempt
thereafter until client satisfaction is met or deemed acceptable.
How Long Does Cosmetic Product Development Take?
Lead
time can vary greatly depending on the product being formulated. In addition, if the client wishes to have
specific testing done such as PET, Stability and Clinical trials. Typically, you can expect from start to
finish
(including gathering of ingredients if we do not have on hand), a lead time of 2-3 weeks. With testing, you
can
expect up to 3 months. In order to ensure your product meets all requirements in safety and stability, your
product will be sent to our 3rd party lab to conduct the testing that you choose. You also can
omit
this process or send the formula to a lab of your choice at a later date.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity?
By allowing us to develop formulas for you, we anticipate that you will need mass production. The MOQ is 200 units for each order.
What if Client is Unsatisfied With the Outcome?
Our Chemist will work to meet client satisfaction based on the specifics and feedback given from client. There are no refunds or exchanges as product development is an experiment.
How Much Does Cosmetic Product Development Cost?
Cosmetic Product Development can cost as low as $500 to upwards of $3,500+
Are there Alternatives to Cosmetic Product Development if I am Low on Start-up Funds?
Yes.
We offer 65+ customizable formulas for you to brand as your own, that will save you thousands in start-up
costs. Simply change/remove fragrance, add two or more conditioning agents, moisturizing agents, oils and
butters. If you have an active ingredient, or your own oils/fragrance, you can send us that as well. The
difference in selecting from our stock formulas and Cosmetic Product Development is that you will have
exclusive
rights to your formula. In addition, product development is a more refined approach that makes sure each
ingredient is intentional. You get to request the use of particular ingredients and what levels you would
like
as oppose to only being able to add ingredients. Our Private Label formulas are tried, tested and true. It
is
ideal to offer 1 or 2 of our customizable formulas along with your uniquely curated formula(s) designed by
our
Chemist.
