One Jar Custom Formulation?
Is That Possible?

Select your ingredients from a long list of options; Elsom Research will formulate them for you using our proprietary technologies.

Elsom Research has always been the source for custom small-batch formulations; the Elsom Research minimum batch size of 2Kg was much smaller than anything available from mass manufacturers, making it possible for a small business to order a custom batch with only a small investment.

With The Formulator, Elsom Research has taken the next step in formulation flexibility; the minimum batch size is now one retail-size jar, as small as 14gr (one half ounce). The one-jar batch size makes it possible for consumers to try new combinations based on their own ideas rather than selecting from the limited offerings of manufacturers; the price is calculated based on the ingredients and technologies selected, and can be re-calculated endlessly in response to different selections until an acceptable combination of price and content is developed.

To begin using The Formulator, a consumer is asked to choose an area of interest; depending on the selection of a facial formula, facial cleanser, scalp formula, shampoo, or formula for other body areas, lists of appropriate and compatible ingredients will be presented. Choices can be made in ingredient categories such as essential oils, botanical extracts, vitamins, and many others. With a flexible and growing list of available ingredients, the possibilities may not be infinite but they are certainly many, varied, and exciting.
