Formula changes are a development package, not a form.
Ingredient, dosage, active or concept changes run as structured, paid R&D — scoped, deposit-backed and managed inside your client workspace. Deterministic launches use the private-label catalogue; development work gets the discipline it deserves.
If the formula changes — ingredients, dosage, actives or claims — it is development work. Priced exactly, scoped first, deposit before work.
Personalising flavour, colour or shape on an existing formula is not R&D — it is reviewed as project-specific personalisation inside a normal order.
What the R&D package covers
Both packages follow the same structure — Advanced R&D carries complex active stacks, novel matrices and claims-sensitive work.
Scope & formula direction
Your concept is scoped against actives, dose logic, format and target market. The development direction is agreed before any bench work starts.
Feasibility, built in
The first phase of the package covers basic feasibility — format fit, active load, stability outlook and target-market positioning. There is no separate feasibility product to buy first.
First sample round
The package includes the first development sample round against the agreed direction, produced and shipped through the portal workflow.
R&D timelines are scoped in the package; production runs 5–12 weeks after formula sign-off.
Only formula changes need R&D
Most launches do not: the private-label catalogue is production-ready, and approved project-specific personalisation is reviewed inside a normal order.
Use a production-ready private-label option. Add your brand and start production.

50% to start, 50% before final handoff — no work before the deposit.
Unit pricing for production orders is shown inside the portal once your account and company profile are in place.
Custom R&D questions
When do I need Custom Formula R&D?
Whenever the formula itself changes: a different active stack, dosage, ingredient system, claim direction or a concept that is not in the catalogue. Flavour, colour and shape personalisation on an existing formula is reviewed as project-specific personalisation — part of a normal order, not R&D.
What do the packages cost?
Custom Formula R&D is €5,000; Advanced R&D — for complex active stacks, novel matrices or claims-sensitive work — is €9,000. Both are exact package prices with 50/50 terms: half to start, half before final formula handoff. No development work starts before the deposit.
Is a feasibility review included?
Yes. The first phase of the package covers scope, formula direction and basic feasibility — format fit, active load and target-market positioning. There is no separate feasibility product.
How long does it take?
R&D timelines are scoped in the package; production runs 5–12 weeks after formula sign-off. The development phase itself depends on the brief and is agreed at scoping.
What happens after the formula is signed off?
It moves straight into a production order inside the same client workspace — specification, label review, production, batch release and delivery, with documentation released by stage.
Scope your formula with the R&D team
Create your account, open the Custom R&D flow and brief the concept. The package is scoped before the deposit — and nothing is developed before the scope is agreed.
