Freelance Formulations offers a range of custom-formulated beauty and care products. Our chemists can design a variety of specialized formulations, including organic and vegan. Here are a few frequently asked questions about cosmetic chemists:

What Do Cosmetic Chemists Do?

Cosmetic chemists use various raw ingredients to create unique formulas for your business. These ingredients may include powders, oils, or vitamins, depending on your needs. Professional chemists have advanced science degrees that help them understand how different chemicals and ingredients react together. At Freelance Formulations, we will create the item and then test it to make sure it is safe and works as it should. We also help you choose pigments and scents to fit your brand's requirements. 

What Types of Cosmetics Do Chemists Make?

Chemists make many different formulations, including custom and stock formulas. Custom formulas contain unique combinations of ingredients tailored to meet specific requirements for a target client base. Stock formulas are standardized solutions that are pre-formulated and readily available to help increase your brand's product offerings. Freelance Formulations makes a variety of cosmetics, including the following:

• Skin Care: Lotion, serum, and cleanser

• Hair Care: Shampoo, conditioner, serum, and gel

• Beauty Products: Eye shadow, blush, lip gloss, and foundation

• Men's Grooming: Hair and skin care products

• Pet Care: Shampoo and conditioner

• Sun Care: Sunscreen and moisturizer

Each formula may be customized to complement your business's colors, scents, and active ingredients. If your brand focuses on baby care products, we can help you create skin, hair, and sun care products for infants. We can also make the packaging fit your branding.

What Is the Process for Creating a Product?

When you're ready to create a formula, you'll fill out our contact form and sign a privacy contract. We'll then schedule a discovery phone call to discuss the services you need. Once our team understands your project's requirements, we will create your personalized formula and send you a sample to make sure you are satisfied with the outcome. This allows you to make any adjustments to the product before approving the final formula.

Do Cosmetic Chemists Make All-natural Products?

Cosmetic chemists can make plant-based, all-natural, and cruelty-free products. You will decide the ingredients you want to include in your formula during our discovery phone call. Our professional chemists make each item in a safe environment using high-end ingredients. If you want formulas that are safe for those with sensitive skin, we'll make sure to use ingredients tested for sensitivities.
