2. Get started right!

Make sure you read through our Getting Started Guide for essential information to make using the program, sourcing the right equipment, instructional videos and even supplier information, easy!

 

3. Visit our global suppliers page to find suppliers near you.

Even qualified Cosmetic Chemists can’t make cosmetic formulas using materials from only one supplier, so don’t limit your choices. Make sure you get familiar with the cosmetic ingredients that at lest 3-4 suppliers near you can provide, so that you have the most choice when creating your cosmetic formulas.

 

4. Decide what cometic formulas you want to make.

Make a list of the cosmetic products you’d like to create, and the types of extracts, essential oils and plant oils you want to include.

Don’t worry about making a mistake – the program won’t give you the option to add an ingredient that is not compatible or doesn’t suit the cosmetic formula you are trying to create. Just work to your lists and follow the program as it guides you through the various selection steps. It will even guide you on inputs, so you don’t need to know any of those details to get making great cosmetic formulas!

 

5. Add to your shopping cart as you create your cosmetic formulas.

It’s a great idea to have your cosmetic ingredient supplier’s pages open while you create your cosmetic formulas in the program – that way you can make sure your chosen suppliers stock the ingredients you want to use, and can even add them to their shopping cart as you create your cosmetic formulas. Once you’ve finished creating all your cosmetic formulas, print off your formulas and finalise your shopping cart and you’re nearly there!

Pro-tip: Remember to add the necessary packaging for your finished products, to your shopping cart before finalising your orders.


6. Put your formulas together!

Once your materials arrive, you are ready to get making your cosmetic formulas. The Create Cosmetic Formulas program provides you with a step-by-step method on how to put each of your cosmetic formulas together, so it’s easy to put your product samples together once all of your materials arrive.

The final and best step: enjoy the cosmetic formulas you have created!
