Custom Private Label Formulations
Custom formulations during September - December are suspended until the Christmas Sales season has ended.
Whether you’re seeking a unique formulation to fit your brand vision or have an existing formula you’d like us to manufacture, we are here to help bring your ideas to life with expert support and guidance. Or you may want to tweak our stock formulation to create something just a little bit different from the competition, we can help you!
Custom formulations are subject to larger minimum order quantities (MOQs) and setup fees, which vary based on the complexity of the product and ingredients. These details will be outlined during the consultation. Pricing is not guaranteed to be the same as our stock formulation, as all oils have different costs. Pricing for custom formulations may vary depending on raw material costs, packaging options, and order quantities. All custom formulation prices are reviewed regularly and may be adjusted to reflect changes in material and operational costs. Clients will be notified of any changes before production begins.
Our team is available to collaborate with you on custom formulations, from using your own formulation or making adjustments/substitutions to our products. We offer a range of options, including ingredient sourcing, product testing, and regulatory compliance support, to ensure the highest quality standards for your custom products.
Process and Timeline
- Initial Consultation: We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals, ingredients, and target market.
- Formula Development: Our experts will work on formulating and testing the product to ensure it meets performance and quality standards.
- Approval and Production: Once the formulation is approved, we proceed with production, packaging, and final quality checks.
If we are tweaking our formulation or substituting an ingredient. We will make the product to match our consistency. Once an agreed upon formulation is finalized, We’ll create a sample batch and send for approval. There will be a fee for a custom sampling and the costing for samples will depend on what is needed for the custom ingredient and production. Basic Minimum on this is 100 units. This unit value may increase based on the ingredients substituted and costs associated with that ingredient.
For the case of a full custom formulation, we would first start with a Non-disclosure agreement. Once the NDA is signed by both parties you would share the formulation so we can build out a costing analysis. Once the costing is figured out, we would send the details for approval.
Next phase would be creating samples there would be a cost associated to the samples. This cost would be determined on the formulation and what was required to bring in for new ingredients to create the samples. Once the samples are approved, we move into Branding and Labelling.
Our full custom formulation process breakdown; (this process is forever building and expanding to help our clients)
- Non-Disclosure Agreement signed by both parties.
- Formulation is shared so we can build a costing analysis.
- Ingredient list and supplier list created and supplied by client. We need to ensure quality of the ingredients and see if they are the same as our suppliers. If required, we may need to get samples of the ingredients to ensure the quality is the same. Costing of new ingredients would be calculated and billed as part of the Custom Formulation Creation.
- Product Samples required for Benchmarking. We need to ensure that quality is met and that the finalized product meets the expectations etc.
- Custom Formulation Creation cost is created and billed
- Ingredients are ordered for sample making.
- Production of samples.
- Shipping of samples. Shipping can take 1-5 business days, based on the client’s location.
