Most founders need all four, in this order. That’s why there are two Suites (below).

WHO BUILT THIS

The chemist behind the Suite

I’m a cosmetic chemist and the founder of The Cosmetic Concept and Cindy J Cosmetic Labs. Every week in my lab I meet founders with beautiful ideas who get stuck on the same questions.

The R&D Suite is the guidance I give my clients, built into tools you can use anytime. No more guessing, no more being embarrassed to ask. You’ll walk into every conversation with your chemist prepared and confident.

QUESTIONS

Good to know

Is it digital or a PDF?

All four tools are interactive and live on our website. They open in your browser on your phone, tablet or computer, with no app or download. Your work saves as you go, and each tool lets you download PDFs of your work.

Is it beginner friendly?

Yes. You don’t need a science background. Every step has simple, guided prompts, and the tools explain the lab terms as you go.

Do I need a chemist to use it?

No. Each tool works whether you make your product yourself or work with a chemist. You choose your founder journey when you start.

What does early access mean?

You get the links on Thursday, November 26th at 7pm ET, the night before the public launch on Friday, November 27th. You’ll also see the Suite pricing first.

Can I buy just one tool?

Yes. Every tool is sold on its own, and the Suites bundle them together for less.
