Cosmetic formulation, perfumery, and soap making for artisan DIY creators — No more Excel spreadsheets, no more messy notes—everything neatly organized in one app. Your data stays on your device.
CosmeticaLab is the professional workstation for cosmetic formulators, perfumers, and soap makers. Built as a native macOS and iPadOS app, it delivers the performance and reliability you expect from a desktop-class tool — with seamless iCloud sync across all your devices.
Cosmetic Formulation Create and manage cosmetic formulations with a comprehensive ingredient library backed by the EU CosIng database (34,500+ entries). Organize by phase, track percentages and costs, and generate EU-compliant INCI lists with nano-material labeling. Automated HLB calculation, comedogenicity scoring, and active substance monitoring keep your formulations on target. Export to PDF, CSV, XLSX, or BBCode.
Perfumery Build fragrance formulations with a dedicated fragrance library, olfactory family classification, and IFRA compliance checking across three product categories. Explore ingredient pairings grounded in co-occurrence analysis and olfactory theory. Develop your personal Style DNA profile from your body of work. Browse reference data from The Good Scents Company database with 47,000+ substances and 18,000+ demo formulations.
Soap Making Formulate cold-process and hot-process soaps with NaOH and KOH support. A database of 49 oils with full SAP values, 56 additives, and 213 colorants. The Soap Composer recommends oil blends matching your target properties — hardness, cleansing, conditioning, lather. Quality metrics, INCI generation, and cost calculation included.
Formulation Tools Sixteen calculators and advisors: reference tables (ASM, comedogenicity, usage ranges); buffer pH (5 systems), HLB, foam, and solubilization calculators; peptide and permeation advisors; preservative, antioxidant, stability, and thickener recommenders; C.I. colorant reference (241 entries); oils & fats tables; sensory advisor (113 ingredients, 6-axis profile); INCI reverse-engineer for ingredient lookup.
Ingredient Intelligence PubChem integration for molecular data, 2D structures, density, solubility, and LogP. pKa database with aqueous pH estimation. Allergen calculator covering 80+ EU allergens (Regulation 2023/1545). Stability checker (73 sensitive actives + 25 incompatibility pairs). Sensory advisor with target-vs-current suggestions. Salt-curve and solubilization indicators inline in the editor.
