OUR PROCESS:
X-PLORE
X-ECUTE
X-ELERATE
This is a lab where ideas lead, formulas follow & partnerships grow as businesses do. It’s not just a way of working, it’s a philosophy proven over 3 decades of experience.
This is where the creative process begins. We begin with an open discussion about your brand, product concept and goals. The conversation covers areas such as key ingredients, competitors, target market, packaging type, industry standards etc. From here, we create a detailed project brief that helps our lab team get started on the product, while our account manager assists you in sourcing any packaging, if needed to bring your product to market.
Our award winning R&D team takes the brief from our initial conversation and begins bringing it to life. In this step, the lab team will reverse engineer formulas, analyze competitor benchmarks and formulate batch samples for performance testing. This is the step in which your new product is born. We include 3 formula iterations built into the original scope of work to allow for the revisions that will create the best product possible.
Once the formula has been approved, it enters the testing phase. Our in-house lab technicians put your product through a robust lab services and testing protocol to ensure it will meet the necessary requirements of the market and industry standards. Cosmetic stability is built into your original package quote, and we offer a range of other testing standards such as OTC product stability, preservative challenge test, HRIPT, 48HR Patch Test & More.
Once stability testing is done, we begin filling your product into the packaging of your choice in our 60,000 sq ft autonomous production facility: 12 kettles (ranging from 100kg to 20,000kg), 10 filling lines (including tube, pouch, bottle, jar filling) and a cooling line for all liquid and semi solid products. Throughout the process you will be kept informed as to when your production run is scheduled, so you can meet your product roll-out schedule.
Upon completion of the production run, we will pack your product into case packs and palletize them to arrange for easy shipment and delivery to the location of your choosing. Alternatively, Lab-X offers 3PL services where we can assist with the warehousing and fulfillment of pick and pack orders from coast to coast, utilizing our network of 4 world-class warehouses and preferential courier shipping rates. From concept to consumer, seamlessly.
