About the practice

Formulation is engineered, not assembled

Formulyn is a boutique nutraceutical and cosmetic formulation consultancy, crafting evidence-led supplement, skincare, and wellness formulations, from raw molecular brief to regulatory-ready product, without manufacturing conflicts.

We start where the catalogue stops

Formulyn was founded on a specific frustration: product development is usually constrained by what contract manufacturers already produce, rather than by what the evidence supports.

So we sit upstream of manufacturing. Formulyn is an independent R&D function, loyal to the evidence, the regulator, and your roadmap, and to nothing else. Not to a manufacturer's quota, not to an ingredient supplier's margin.

What you receive is a complete, defensible formula and the regulatory dossier to distribute it. The workings come with it.

Principles

Four commitments, and what they cost us

[01]

Independence

No manufacturer kickbacks. Ever.

We sit upstream of manufacturing and take nothing from it. The formula is chosen because it is right, not because someone already makes it.

[02]

Evidence

Peer-reviewed literature as default.

Every active is defended by published work. Where the evidence is thin, we say so in writing rather than quietly rounding up.

[03]

Discretion

Mutual NDA on serious briefs.

Formulations, roadmaps, and commercial context stay yours. A mutual NDA is available before any sensitive disclosure.

[04]

Velocity

Fixed-price, fixed-scope phases.

Scope is agreed up front and priced up front. No open-ended retainers, no billable drift, and a decision gate at the end of every phase.

Who you work with

Leadership rooted in science. Driven by purpose

The people behind the practice: the science it stands on, and the way it is run.
