Challenges Cosmetics Manufacturers Know Too Well

Managing formulations, production variants, and regulatory compliance with generic tools creates problems that slow growth and increase risk.

Formula Complexity Nightmare

Managing formulations with dozens of ingredients, multiple variants (shades, sizes, scents), and frequent reformulations across spreadsheets leads to costly production errors.

GMP Documentation Gaps

Maintaining compliant batch records, quality documentation, and audit trails manually is time-consuming and creates compliance risk during inspections.

Ingredient Traceability Blind Spots

When an ingredient supplier has a quality issue, tracing which finished products contain that lot takes far too long without proper systems.

SKU Explosion Management

Hundreds of SKUs across colors, sizes, and formulations make inventory management overwhelming. Stock the wrong shade and you have dead inventory.

Retail & E-commerce Channel Chaos

Selling through your website, Amazon, Ulta, and retail partners means inventory updates happen in multiple places—leading to overselling and stockouts.

Shelf Life & Stability Tracking Failures

Without proper expiration and stability tracking, products ship past their prime or ingredients are used beyond their effective date.
