I’m ready to move five products from concept to lab-ready formulas and need an experienced cosmetic formulator who can take the ideas below and turn them into stable, scalable recipes. Scope of work Skincare and sunscreen: develop lotion and cream bases that deliver deep hydration, visible repair, and broad-spectrum UV protection. Haircare: create a rich rinse-off conditioner that shields strands from salt, cold, wind, and chlorine while restoring softness. All formulas must be skin- and scalp-safe, cosmetically elegant, and compliant with relevant EU / FDA regulations. Key considerations • Each product should rely on proven actives and photostable filters, avoiding reef-harming or heavily restricted ingredients. • Texture, absorbency, and sensory profile matter as much as efficacy; the finished products should feel lightweight, non-greasy, and leave no white cast on any skin tone. • I will need ingredient percentages, detailed phase instructions, recommended processing temperatures, and suggested preservative systems. • Please outline any specialised equipment needed for pilot batches so I can prepare the lab accordingly. Deliverables 1. Fully written formula for 5 products (surf zinc, SPF sunscreen/moisturiser, pre exposure haircare, post exposure haircare, and post exposure skincare (INCI, % w/w). 2. Step-by-step manufacturing procedure for each product. 3. Stability and compatibility test plan with pass/fail criteria for each product. 4. Brief supplier list for hero ingredients with MOQ guidance for each product. 5. One round of tweaks after the first bench sample, if required for each product. If you’ve taken multifunctional skincare, reef-safe sunscreen, or sport-proof conditioners from bench to shelf before, your expertise will be invaluable here.
