Working with a custom lip balm manufacturer is less about mixing ingredients and more about testing until the texture, glide and finish feel exactly right.
In this short video, we work through a lip balm formula in our Toronto lab. Not every batch is the one, and that is part of the process.
How a custom lip balm manufacturer perfects your formula
Every lip balm we develop goes through the same loop:
- Start from your brief: the feel, scent, colour and ingredients you want
- Make a first sample and test the texture, hardness and glide
- Adjust the balance of butters, waxes and oils
- Test again until it performs the way you pictured it
- Approve the final formula before we move to production
Why trial and error is a good sign
A formula that changes a few times before launch is a formula someone actually tested. Each adjustment brings it closer to a product you will be proud to put your name on, and it means fewer surprises once it is on the shelf.
We formulate and manufacture lip care, skincare, hair care and pet care in Toronto for brands across Canada and the US, with low minimums so a custom product is realistic for newer brands too.
