FAQ
Do you sell bulk/private label?
No, this program has been discontinued. Instead, you can now purchase formulas of the items I used to sell in bulk & private label.
Do you ship Internationally?
None of my items I sell are physical items, so nothing needs shipped. It will be emailed to you after you complete your purchase
Do your formulas contain preservatives?
Yes, preservatives are a must to keep your products from growing mold, yeast, and bacteria. Even if there is no visible mold, your product could still contain bacteria that could harm your skin. Where there is water, there is life and products that contain water or may come into contact with water must have a preservative. Other brands making preservative free claims may be misinformed about the preservative method they are using or their products are likely to spoil quickly since they aren't preserved.
Can I sell products I make with your formulas?
Yes, but you need to do proper testing before you start selling that product. It doesn't matter if I have already tested the formula, you need to do your own product testing as well. (some formulas I sell on here have not had any testing)
How do I have my products tested before they are sold to make sure they are safe and stable?
If you are in the US, here are all the tests I recommend for your product. Some products might not need all these tests done. I've also linked to labs who will do these tests for you.
Lab for microbial testing - This is a must to make sure you have good manufacturing practice. A microbial test just ensures that your product is made in a clean environment. It does not determine a shelf life. (This is recommended to be done with every batch. As home crafters, that can be asking a lot, so you can do the test periodically to make sure you keep up on good manufacturing practice. Or you can purchase your own incubator and do your own microbial testing.) Revega Cosmetics has a vide on this
Challenge Testing or Preservative Efficacy Testing - this test ensures your preservative works.
Stability and Shelf Life Testing - tests product to see how stable it is and how long it will be shelf stable. This includes emulsion stability I believe.
Or for an at home emulsion stability test, watch this video.
