Cindy J Formulation Studio: Hands-On Cosmetic Science Experience

The Cindy J Formulation Studio is a hands-on, in-person cosmetic science experience designed for founders, product developers, students, and cosmetic chemist creators who want to move beyond DIY and formulate with intention.

Hosted inside a working cosmetic laboratory, this studio offers guided formulation education rooted in real lab processes, ingredient functionality, and professional decision-making—led by a practicing cosmetic chemist.

This is not a demonstration or lecture-style class. Participants will actively formulate, learn the “why” behind ingredient behavior, and leave with practical tools they can apply beyond the session.

• In-person, hands-on experience
• Saturday, March 28th and Sunday, March 29th sessions
• One high-impact formulation per session
• 4-hour guided studio session
• Small group learning for quality and safety

This studio is designed for:

• Indie beauty founders (early-stage and scaling)
• Product developers seeking formulation confidence
• Chemistry or science-related students
• Brands preparing for manufacturing
• Cosmetic chemist creators looking for hands-on lab exposure

• Hands-on formulation inside a professional cosmetic lab
• Ingredient education focused on function, compatibility, and process
• Chemist-led guidance on how formulations are developed in practice
• Take-home products, formulas, and practical formulation insights

• All formulation materials and ingredients
• Use of lab equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Finished product samples to take home
• Formula documentation and reference notes
• Light refreshments

• Limited seating to maintain lab safety and quality instruction
• Registration is required in advance
• This experience is educational and does not grant commercial formula ownership
• Closed-toe shoes and adherence to lab safety rules are required
