Formula Revision & Troubleshooting
When your formula isn’t quite behaving—whether it’s separating, feeling tacky, underperforming, or showing signs of instability—this service offers a grounded, expert-led path to resolution. We begin with a diagnostic deep dive: assessing ingredient interactions, process variables, and potential sources of instability. From there, you’ll receive a revised draft tailored to your brand’s texture, performance, and sensory goals.
