Is it cheaper to go direct to a toxicologist?
That depends, most will charge you per recipe or combination. They will certainly charge you for any testing that is required. It is unlikely that you will receive any of the additional information or ongoing extra support that we provide. You will also have to spend your valuable time preparing and writing up the formulations in the required format, and using, researcing the INCI names, CI numbers, etc for your products.
We can supply packages this competatively because we have already done the work, and already have certified all of the combinations included in our packages. By using our packages, that rely on our products and previous work, you are only paying for the time that it takes us and our cosmetic chemist to prepare and produce your certification. At The Soap Tub, our primary goal is to support the 1000+ soapers who rely on us to resource and equip their soap making needs. We are delighted that we have been able to launch this service that removes one of the main barriers to legally selling your products.
Please book your packages in advance of needing them. Please allow 14 days for the certificate to be issued. We are always happy to discuss with you any questions that you may have about this service and can design specific or bespoke packages on request for most cosmetic and toiletry products (please ask for details).
