A great formula isn’t enough if your customer can’t sell it.

You’ve nailed the ingredients, texture, color, and performance. But what happens when regulatory issues mean your formula won’t work for a market your customer wants to sell in?

Costly reformulation

Spend more time, labor, and materials reworking a formula you’ve already developed.

Launch delays

Push timelines back while dealing with the hassle of regulatory issues being identified and corrected.

Disappointed customers

Send a formula they can’t move forward with, creating more back-and-forth for everyone.

The later you find a regulatory issue, the more it can cost your lab.

Introducing: Ithos Lab

Formulate smarter. Screen earlier. Grow confidently.

Ithos Lab brings formula management and regulatory intelligence together in one platform purpose-built for cosmetic labs, formulators, and small manufacturers.

Regulatory pre-screening becomes part of the formulation process, helping you check whether a formula works for your customer’s target markets before you mix your first sample batch.

  • Screen earlier — Identify potential regulatory concerns while you’re still developing the formula.
  • Adjust sooner — Make changes before you’ve invested more time, labor, and materials.
  • Deliver more value — Give your customers formulas that have already been screened with their target markets in mind.
