Same thorough review service as the standard tier, but for formulations that involve cosmeceutical actives, complex pH-dependent systems, advanced delivery mechanisms, or ingredients with regulatory restrictions in key markets.
These reviews take longer because there’s more to assess. I’ll cover everything in the standard review plus active stability and efficacy considerations, pH buffering adequacy, potential interactions between actives, regulatory status across relevant markets, and any delivery system concerns.
$800 AUD. Theoretical only (no lab work). Turnaround typically within 10 business days.
This is a paper-based assessment (theoretical) of your existing formulation. You send me your formula (ingredient list, percentages, manufacturing method) and I review it for functionality, performance potential, ingredient compatibility, interaction risks, and regulatory considerations. You receive a written report. That’s it. I do not reformulate, I do not provide a new formula, and I do not make physical samples. This is a diagnostic service.
