The cosmetics industry has no shortage of brands and products for you to try out. Even your humble lipstick product can vary so much by the brand’s offering of different shades, lip feel, thickness, choice of ingredients, etc. The list goes on.
Phoenix Chemical has been hard at work developing our own unique and proprietary cosmetic raw materials that bring something special to the table when crafting a product. Our formularies section is a testament to our commitment to helping burgeoning companies know that any product is possible when partnering with us, as well as our desire to educate about how products are created.
Here are 3 things we believe making your own cosmetics can teach you about the beauty and cosmetics product industry.
1 – Making Your Own Cosmetics is Truly a Science
The cosmetic industry has always had a sheen and glamor to it on the outside, but on the inside, it has always been fueled by science and chemistry.
For example, following the steps outlined in our Silky Smooth Hydrating Makeup formulary will give you a first-hand insight on the application of chemistry to create a product. In the case of an entrepreneur, even if you won’t oversee manufacturing the product as your brand takes off, knowing how the product is made will give you invaluable insight on the importance of certain ingredients. When it comes to going to the drawing board to create something new, you will have a keen understanding of what materials are necessary and what ingredients will need to be sourced on the business side of things to create a good product and most importantly—stay in the green.
2 – Making Your Own Cosmetics Brings Awareness to Product Ingredients
Another thing making your own cosmetics teaches you is to pay especially close attention to ingredients. We understand roughly that even the simplest of products can sometimes have a bevy of ingredients to achieve a unique effect. To get the right lubricity, thickness, or feel, it makes sense that a delicate balance must be achieved.
Part of utilizing green chemistry and plant-derived ingredients is understanding where they are best substituted—as well as what range of ingredients are available. As we mentioned in the first point, understanding what ingredients are a mainstay and what ingredients or ingredient types you can get playful with will help you when brainstorming.
Additionally, having a sharp understanding of product ingredients will allow you to critically examine your market competitors and assess gaps in their offerings.
3 – Anyone Can Start a Beauty Brand or Business
While we have certainly partnered with many large companies and well-established brands, Phoenix Chemical strongly believes in the ability of individuals and budding entrepreneurs to meaningfully contribute to the product market.
There are no shortage of stories of new beauty brand owners creating lines that truly appealed to unique and emerging demographics. Somewhere out there, there is someone who has a great idea and immense potential to create fantastic products through their vision, but they simple lack the initial know-how to get started.
Our formularies can show such people that it’s not as hard as they think! Once they know how to do it once, they can understand this crucial aspect of product creation when considering their business and future endeavors.
