We were talking and she said ‘if it’s sulfate free I expect it not to lather’ so we said… If we formulate it, it will foam and feel great after rinsing and your hair will be glorious.

A pot of cream… you decide what’s in it. We work with businesses large and small to bring their product ideas to shelves.

Shampoo, conditioner? We formulate those. Looking for a way to get your product on the market? We do that too.

Tangerine peel: upcycled hero in a formulation. We created a lip balm with tangerine butter, and it’s as amazing as you are thinking. Food waste-not!

Mirror, mirror… have you tried a niacinamide serum? We have a marvelous formula ready to go for just the right client. Get mirror-ready skin from the lab of Sanders Research!

Coffee! As it cools, the lip balm looks less like what you’d pour in your cup but it’s soft and unctuous on the lips, with a smack of sweet.

We’ve come a long way, we think as we look at antique chemistry bottles and labels. But rose water and glycerin? Timeless classic!

Whether you enjoy that first sip of coffee in the morning or not, coffee beans play a role in cosmetics. From upcycled grounds used as exfoliators, to the oils expressed with all the amazing color and aroma, coffee is here to stay. We are loving it, how about you?

We like to wrap ourselves up in routines, draw them around our shoulders like a warm shawl on a crisp fall morning. It gives us something to touch and know all is well. All will be fine.

Working in the lab today, thinking about how little bottles can make a big difference.

A bloom might only last a day or two. Our skin stays with us for a lifetime. How do you care for yours?

Flower petals have nothing on skin. Velvety, silky soft, yes - but only skin is warm to the touch and turns to smile at you in the moment. Is it any wonder we want to bring out the best in our skin?
