Formulator's Master Log
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)
