Define
Before you get started, you need to think about what you are going to make. What functions do you want your product to achieve? Are you looking to make a moisturizer, a coloring product, or maybe a combination of factors? Another feature you need to ponder are the aesthetic characteristics, such as color, thickness, clarity, and the cosmetic product form.

03
Prepare
Once you determine how much you want to make, create a spreadsheet listing the quantity of each ingredient required. Additionally, you'll need to list the specifications that you will test of the finished batch. Next, gather up all the raw materials and processing equipment needed to make the batch. Finally, it's time to put on your safety glasses and start making your batch!
04
Make
Make the Batch - Imagine baking your favorite cookies. Following the recipe is essential to ensure your dessert is delicious! Like cooking, you will need to weigh out your ingredients, mix them together as dictated in the procedure and heat & cool as noted on the formula. During the entire process, you should be writing detailed notes and observations in your notebook. These will come in handy when you need to make refinements for future prototypes.
05
Test
Once you've finished your formula, you'll want to test it to see how successful you were. After letting the sample equilibrate to room temperature, take appropriate measurements like pH and viscosity to see if you are within the specifications. Also, weigh the batch to see how much water weight you lost during the heating and cooling process. If you lost more than a few % of water you may want to add water to make up the difference.

From our Customers
FSS has been my number one supplier in cosmetic materials from the start of my formulating almost 8 years ago. Their wide variety of products along with their sales staff always assisting me with any formulation questions has been essential in my formulation journey. I also appreciate the customer service team always being honest and transparent regarding their lead times.

I have been using this company for a few years now and I have to say they are one of the best! I order all my extracts plus lots of other products from them and I have never had an issue. All their products are of high quality and the prices are good. The shipping take a bit longer than some places but it’s worth the weight as far as I’m concerned! I highly recommend this company

Thank you for always providing the best packaging and delivery of your products. I have placed several orders over the last year and every single order is correct, packaged securely and every single item has arrived in perfect condition, not a single drop leaking or spilled. As a small batch formulator (this is just my expensive hobby) I appreciate this more than you know. It is heartbreaking to receive a product and 1/3 of it has leaked into the box. I will always choose to purchase from FSS even if a product is less expensive elsewhere because the consistency and exceptional experience FSS provides!
