A formula template built for how formulators actually work.
Formulator's Master Log is a dual master template for anyone developing personal care formulas, from your very first bench sample through to a contract manufacturer ready formula sheet.
It includes two master templates:
· Anhydrous formula master: for oil-based, wax-based, and water free products
· Aqueous/Emulsion formula master: includes built-in process steps for pH adjustment
Copy either of the two master templates to create a new tab for each product you develop.
No more trying to remember why batch 4 turned out better than batch 2. Every iteration, every adjustment, every bit of wastage is right there next to the formula, in one place.
What makes this different:
Most formula templates give you a static ingredient list and a percentage column. Formulator's Master Log goes further, with a tracking table next to every formula sheet, that records:
· Batch numbers for each product iteration
· Batch numbers for each ingredient used
· Total pH adjustment used in the entire formula
· Wastage after packaging, in grams and as a % of the total formula
· Notes on any adjustments made to the formula itself, version by version
The formula sheet itself is built to contract manufacturer standard, with input fields for the batch number of every ingredient used, and initials for the person weighing and adding each one, so your documentation is audit ready and traceable, not just a personal notes file.
Built to be printed and taken to the bench. Fill it in by hand while you're formulating, no device needed around chemicals and raw materials, then transfer your batch, pH adjustment, and wastage figures and iteration notes into your digital copy once you're done.
Who it's for:
Whether you're a complete beginner formulating your first product at home, or an Indie brand working with a contract manufacturer, this template scales with you. Simple enough to start today, structured enough to hand to a manufacturer without rework.
What's included:
• Anhydrous master formula template
• Aqueous/Emulsion master formula template (with pH adjustment process steps)
• Batch log, pH adjustment, and wastage tracking table for every formula
• Full instructions tab
• Compatible with Excel and Google Sheets
Keeping track of your ingredients, suppliers, and stock levels is one of the most time-consuming parts of running a formulation-based business, and one of the easiest things to let slip.
The Formulator's Inventory model is a purpose-built digital database for skincare formulators and Indie brands. A one-time purchase, no subscriptions, and everything stored locally on your own laptop, not on the cloud or anyone else's server, so your formulations, supplier relationships, and carefully accumulated ingredient knowledge remain entirely yours.
With capacity for up to 500 ingredient profiles, it puts everything in one place: full supplier details including contact information, lead times, MOQs, payment terms and much more; linked ingredient documentation for instant access; automatic stock summaries for low stock, out of stock, expired, and stock expiring soon; and up to 1,000 previously held ingredient profiles. Search by any of the 23 criteria like solubility, target pH, charge and get results instantly, saving you hours when formulating or developing new products. And when you finish producing a batch, stock levels recalculate automatically. No manual calculations required.
As a certified formulator, I built this because I know exactly how much time is wasted trying to manage everything manually. The Formulator's Inventory is the tool I wished I had from the start, and it works just as well for Indie food producers too.
The Model comes with 8 pre-filled ingredient profiles, which are intended for example purposes only.
One purchase. Everything in one place. Your ingredients, finally under control.
