Formula records for cosmetics

A cosmetic formula record starts with the formula.

Keep composition, process, and cost in one record that follows every new batch. Your formula no longer depends on memory.

01

Complete formula

Keep raw materials, bases, phases, percentages, and quantities in the same record.

02

Repeatable process

Record the preparation method and use the same reference for every new batch.

03

Ingredient names and cost together

Link the appropriate ingredient name and price to every raw material in the formula.

How it works

A short workflow from start to finish.

1

Add the ingredients

Record each raw material's unit, supplier, price, quantity, and ingredient name.

2

Build the formula

Separate the phases and record the percentages or quantities used.

3

Use it in production

Scale the formula to the batch and keep a history of every batch run.

In your workflow

The formula record changes with the formula.

A useful formula record is not a document in isolation. It should reflect the composition you actually make, the ingredients you buy, and the process you repeat at the workbench.

When you change a raw material or concentration, review the formula, cost, and label. Your batch history preserves what you made before the change.

Frequently asked questions

What you need to know.

What belongs in a cosmetic formula record?

A formula record can bring together composition, percentages, phases, preparation method, yield, ingredient names, cost, and production references.

Can I scale a formula for a different batch size?

Yes. The app uses the formula's proportions to calculate the quantities for the batch size you choose.

Does the formula record generate an FDA-approved label?

No. FDA does not pre-approve cosmetic labels. The record organizes your formula data; the manufacturer or other responsible person must make sure the label and product comply with applicable FDA requirements.

Add a formula, make a batch, and see the real cost in the same place.
