We state what is internally implemented, what is project-specific, what is in process and what is formally certified. Those statuses are not interchangeable.
Each record below names its governing standard, its scope and its exact status.
Governing standard: ISO 22716:2007
Status: Internally implemented
Our operating procedures are structured around ISO 22716:2007 cosmetics good manufacturing practice principles. This is an internally implemented operating framework, not a claim of third-party certification. The framework covers batch records, raw-material traceability, equipment hygiene, personnel practice and documented procedures.
Scope: per project
Status: Project-specific
Label input documents, INCI lists and product specifications prepared for registration once the formula is finalised. Registration filing, third-party costs and submission responsibilities are confirmed separately.
Scope: per project
Status: Project-specific
CPSR-ready records, INCI-compliant label inputs and Responsible Person coordination where included in the project scope.
Stability and packaging compatibility are scoped according to the selected development route. Preservative-efficacy, claims, efficacy and other external laboratory work are separately scoped where required.
Reports are named publicly only when they exist, apply to the stated product and can be shared.
Documentation is scoped by route. One matrix, one promise — no small print that contradicts the headline.

Packaging compatibility review applies to the final agreed packaging supplied within the required testing window. Items marked 'Available separately' are scoped and quoted separately; the final inclusion list for your project is confirmed in your written quotation.
Sampling and development fees pay for the formulation work, sample production and revisions stated within the selected route. They are separate from production costs unless a written quotation explicitly says otherwise.
OUI provides the product and formula documentation specified for each route and supports regulatory readiness once the formula is finalised. Registration filing, third-party laboratory work and additional market-specific requirements are scoped separately unless explicitly included in the quotation.
Sampling fees are paid and non-refundable. Packaging must be confirmed before formulation begins.
Category, route, target market, expected volume. That's all we need to begin.
