Using the personal approach is often a good idea, whether in relationships, marketing, or formulations. It’s also one of the hottest trends in the personal care industry – in the form of personalised, or customisable cosmetics.
A customisable formulation is one you can offer to a consumer so they can choose what they want to use, when they want to use it, to suit different needs. This is achieved with a base product, and variants of active concentrates.

Thank You so please with the video it was very informative.
Yes please email me: [email protected] for a report covering this information.
Thanks Carla, happy formulating!
This was super helpful.Thank you so much.
Do you have any suggestions of base cream recipe that would be ‘sturdy’ enough to check all requirements?
Hi Mateja, yes, you would need to use a Fast Formulation base chassis – one that can handle just about any active being added to it. Watch this video and the concepts here: https://youtu.be/YhWH-VNWw3U There are two examples in this video – one is natural and one is a budget synthetic base, hope this helps. Happy formulating!
Very informative.
How does this customizable cosmetics part fit in with legislation in Europe, or the rest of the world for that matter.
Do you still have to register with authorities?
Great videos as always!!
Hi Andreas,
Yes the customisable concentrates still need to be entered into the CPNP, and comply with all legislation – just remember though they wouldn’t be used ‘neat’ or ‘as is’ – but your directions should be very clear on how to mix them before use, and then the entry would be for the finished product as a consumer would use it, ie mixed with your bases. Happy formulating!
