How We Engineer Your Product
Consultation & Briefing
We analyze your brand DNA, target market, and "No-No List" (banned ingredients) to define the product scope.
R&D & Prototyping
Our lab develops initial samples (typically 2-3 rounds) focusing on texture, efficacy, and ingredient compatibility.
Stability & Compliance
Every formula undergoes rigorous stress testing (Heat/Cold/UV) and preservative challenge testing to ensure global compliance (FDA/EU).
Pilot & Production
Seamless transition from lab beaker to manufacturing vats, ensuring the final batch matches the approved sample perfectly.
The Science Behind The Brand
Clean & Clinical
We specialize in hybrids that bridge natural botanicals with clinical actives (Peptides, Retinoids, Acids).

Flexible production runs starting from 1,000 units to support emerging indie brands.
Global Compliance
All formulas are developed with INCI standards ready for export to US, EU, and Asian markets.
Packaging Compatibility
We test formulas directly with our in-house glass packaging to prevent leakage or oxidation.
FAQ
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom formulation?
A: For bespoke custom formulations, our MOQ starts at [1,000] units. For private label (stock formulas), we offer low MOQs starting at just [12] units, which is very competitive in the market.
Q: Do you offer vegan and cruelty-free formulas?
A: Yes. Aurora Formula is strictly cruelty-free. We can develop 100% Vegan, Organic, or Clean Beauty compliant formulas upon request.
Q: How long does the R&D process take?
A: Stock formulas can be ready for production in 2-4 weeks. Custom bespoke formulation typically requires 8-12 weeks, including stability testing and sampling rounds.
Q: Do you own the formula IP?
A: For bespoke development projects where development fees are paid, the formula intellectual property (IP) can be transferred to the client.
Q:What happens if I am not satisfied with the initial samples?
A: Our formulation service includes 3 rounds of revisions. We view this as an iterative process: after each round, our chemists refine the texture, scent, and performance based on your specific feedback to ensure the final product perfectly aligns with your vision.
