Full Custom Formulation
Develop a completely original formula with our R&D team. You define your product goals including performance, texture, and hero ingredients, and our chemists determine the best formulation approach to bring your vision to life.
We provide accelerated stability testing and can facilitate additional cosmetic-grade evaluations as needed. Ideal for brands creating new concepts or high-performance clean beauty products.
Benchmark Formulation
Provide a product sample or ingredient list as your benchmark, and our R&D team will create a new formula inspired by it.
We'll develop an original formulation inspired by the performance, texture, and overall experience of your benchmark while refining it to meet your desired ingredient standards and Pravada's clean beauty philosophy.
Contract Manufacturing
Provide your finalized formulation and we'll handle scale-up, manufacturing, filling, and quality control in our GMP-certified facility to help bring your product to market with consistent quality and reliable production..
This path is ideal for brands that already own their IP and need a trusted manufacturing partner.
We don't just formulate. We manufacture everything we create.
Our integrated process ensures quality, consistency, and efficiency from the first bench sample to final production.

Questions About Custom Formulation?
Our program is ideal for skincare, haircare, and personal care products centered around clear performance goals, hero ingredients, and scalable manufacturing.
The program is best suited for formulations built around a few key active ingredients, proven ingredient systems, and purposeful formulation design. This approach allows us to develop stable, scalable products while keeping development timelines and costs more accessible than many traditional custom formulation houses.
If a project requires extensive specialty ingredient sourcing, highly specialized ingredient technologies, complex delivery systems, or advanced research and development, we'll review the requirements with you and determine whether a custom development proposal is more appropriate.
The development fee covers R&D time, formulation work, and three rounds of samples: the initial version plus two revisions based on your feedback. It also includes our standard accelerated stability testing. If additional cosmetic-grade testing or complex formulation work is required, such as compatibility or preservative challenge testing, we’ll review the project scope and provide a clear estimate before proceeding.
Our development program is designed to establish a long-term manufacturing partnership and guide your product from concept to production.
The standard MOQ is 2,500 units per product, but the final quantity depends on the formula and packaging. Some simpler products, like oil blends or single-phase formulations, may qualify for lower quantities, while complex emulsions or multi-active serums may require higher minimums.
The full development and production process typically takes 6 to 12 months, depending on complexity. This timeline includes formulation, sampling, and a three-month accelerated stability cycle to confirm product integrity before full-scale manufacturing.
Yes. Through our Benchmark Formulation service, we can develop a new formula inspired by your provided sample or ingredient list. While not identical, we aim to closely match the texture, performance, and experience, refined to meet clean beauty standards.
Absolutely. We can formulate to meet your preferred standards, including vegan, natural, fragrance-free, or retailer-specific clean programs such as Sephora Clean, Credo, or Ulta Conscious Beauty.
Our chemists will recommend the most appropriate formulation approach to achieve your product goals while meeting your desired standards.
Yes. If you provide comprehensive stability testing results and a complete tech transfer package, you may qualify for a partial credit of your development fee toward your first production order. Eligibility is reviewed during the onboarding process.
