Cosmetics formulation for private label

• Ready-made bases are suited for a fast and cost-efficient start.

• Custom formulation is suited when a product has a special composition, feel or active ingredient.

• Ingredient choices take documentation, availability and the brand's values into account.

• The formula is assessed together with the packaging and claims so that the whole is realistic.

Formula development and sample creation is a separate, paid stage. The base price for development starts at 1000 € per product.

The service includes: development of an individual formula, selection of ingredients, creation and fine-tuning of samples, and preparation of the formula for certification.

The final price depends on the complexity of the product, the number of iterations and the requirements for the composition. After the brief is confirmed, we prepare an individual quotation.

Once development is complete, you receive the formula in the working format required for production and certification — usually as a PIF document with ingredient concentration ranges in accordance with EU requirements. The formula can be used for production at Acnova Oy, while the protection of the formula and the stability of the product are ensured.

If needed, the formula can be bought out into full ownership — the terms for transferring the rights are agreed individually.

If you already have a ready formula, we sign an NDA before starting. We then analyse the formula, check compliance with EU requirements, assess the possibility of production and calculate the cost and timeline.

Product type, intended use, target volume, packaging preferences, target markets and any existing materials.

Yes. We can start from a concept and build formula or material options based on it.

Because the quantity depends on the product, raw materials, packaging and production planning. An estimate is given after the brief.

Production and project management are in Finland, but products can be designed for the EU and international markets.
