Questions become products through one working document: the target product profile.

PROFILE STATUS
04 / 10 FIELDS
Every product begins somewhere.
The opening argument. The point at which an unresolved question becomes a disciplined route forward.
Investigate the science
Evidence, mechanisms, ingredient intelligence and feasibility before a formula exists.
Engineer the product
Actives, dosage, compatibility, delivery systems and the constraints that determine viability.
Prototype and refine
Iteration against a target profile, with packaging and manufacturability inside the process.
Learn before scale
Controlled 100–500 unit runs that expose process behaviour before larger inventory commitments.

Likely first move
We start with feasibility: what the concept requires scientifically, which formats can carry it, and what would have to be true for it to work commercially.

Why the pilot measure matters
100–500
A controlled quantity large enough to reveal process and presentation problems, while preserving room to learn and iterate before committing to larger inventory.
Projects are reviewed for technical fit, development readiness and current laboratory capacity. The brief is designed to help us understand where you are, not to expect all the answers upfront.
How the laboratory works →The questions that come up most often, answered without marketing language.
View all questionsWe are a product-development laboratory. The work runs across four connected disciplines: scientific research, formulation, product development and pilot production.
We start earlier. A contract manufacturer generally begins once a formula exists; we begin at the research and chemistry stage, where the question is still whether the product can work at all.
Dietary supplements in capsule, powder, liquid and gummy formats; skincare, cosmetics and topical products; and specialty formulations that do not sit neatly in one category.
Yes, and this is often where the most value is created. Research work covers published literature, mechanism plausibility, ingredient and material intelligence, technical landscape review and feasibility — the evidence position behind a product decision.
No. Projects start from four places: a question or idea, a written product brief, an existing formula that needs development, or a finished product that needs technical improvement or a new production route.
Yes. Compliance and claims review reads the language you intend to use — on the label, the packaging, the website and in marketing — against what the formula and the available evidence actually support.
The laboratory is set up for development-scale pilot production — typically 100–500 units where the format and equipment allow, rather than a fixed catalogue minimum.
There is no published price list, because the variables genuinely change the number: research depth, formulation complexity, number of prototype rounds and SKUs, testing requirements, packaging work and production scope.
The brief is reviewed for scope, technical fit and current capacity. If it is a fit, we follow up to clarify requirements and agree an appropriate next step — usually a scoped proposal covering the research or formulation phase.
Lab Notes
Formulation chemistry
Solubility limits, pH windows and interaction effects account for more failed prototypes than ingredient selection ever does.
