What to expect
Innova LT Inc offers custom product formulation services for orders starting at 5 liters per product. If you require multiple products, each must meet the 5-liter minimum. Some exceptions may apply, so please feel free to enquire.
Formulating a product from scratch typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the formula and specific requirements. This process involves researching ingredients, conducting stability and compatibility tests, producing samples, and allowing time for client feedback. It may take longer if additional testing or revisions are required before final approval. Some regulatory and compliance requirements can also impact the timeline, especially if the product must meet specific certifications like organic or cruelty-free standards.
