How to Formulate Vegan Beauty Products

Beauty products can be made from vegan formulas, allowing you to promote natural ingredients for your brand. A cosmetic chemist from Freelance Formulations can work with you to develop custom formulas for your beauty products. Here are the steps involved in formulating vegan beauty products:

Beauty Product Selection

Whether you are beginning a new line of vegan beauty products or supplementing your existing beauty products with vegan options, make sure to evaluate your current offerings and determine what beauty products you are looking to formulate. Take customer preference and your preferred branding into account when deciding. If your brand focuses on skin products, adding a vegan foundation to your cosmetic line may be beneficial. Vegan eye shadows and lip products are other cosmetic options to choose from. 

Freelance Formulations offers a 45-minute consultation with Vanessa Thomas, a cosmetic chemist and the head of our company, for pre-product development. During this call, she will go over brand narrative and strategy. She will also review the product development process with you.

Vegan Ingredient Selection

When developing your formula for a vegan beauty product, research vegan and plant-based ingredients to use in your product. Look for clean, natural ingredients that help improve the quality of your products. Jojoba oil can be added to cosmetic products, including cleansing products. This oil is a liquid wax created from the jojoba plant. It has the benefit of reducing flaky skin. Aloe, coconut, vitamin C, and shea butter are also natural ingredients that can be added to skin and cosmetic products. 

Collaborating with Freelance Formulations gives you access to natural ingredients. We offer cruelty-free, vegan, all-natural options for product creation. Our chemists can also create customized products that are FDA-approved.

Consultation With a Cosmetic Chemist 

Bring your cosmetic product concept to a cosmetic chemist to assist you with formulation development and product refinement. The chemist can answer technical questions you have about vegan ingredients and the formula process, allowing you to move forward with development. Freelance Formulations offers our clients a 30-minute consultation call with one of our chemists. 

We offer formula development services for our clients. Clients retain full ownership of their formulas after development. After about four to six weeks, we will send you formula samples for you to assess. Once you approve the completed formula, we also help you find manufacturers to create batches of your vegan cosmetic product and connect you with packaging and design teams to market your beauty product. Our consultation call comes with a preferred vendor list for brand development, graphic designers, and more.
