All Formulation Essentials

Every material a formula needs that is not an active — surfactants, emulsifiers, preservatives, thickeners, emollients, waxes, chelators, solvents, powders, colourants and UV filters in one place.

This collection currently holds 235 raw materials. Most materials ship in 50 g, 225 g, 1 Kg and 5 Kg packs. High-value absolutes, isolates, ceramides and peptides ship on a small-pack ladder of 10 g, 50 g, 100 g and 1 Kg. Every pack comes with a Certificate of Analysis, SDS and technical data sheet.

Every product page lists the INCI or technical name, the CAS number where one is assigned, ingredient family, source and feedstock, origin, typical form, solubility, recommended use level and pH window, addition phase, market status, storage, shelf life, the documentation supplied and a full regulatory note.

Before you formulate

Use levels shown on our product pages are industry working ranges, not specifications. Confirm every figure against the supplier technical data sheet, verify the permitted status and concentration limit in each market you sell into, and complete a safety assessment for the finished product.
