Compounding (Contract Blend)

What is a Compounding (Contract Blend) Service?

Our Compounding (Contract Blending) Service is available to Artisan, Independent and Niche Perfumers at a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of 1kg (1000 grams) of Fragrance Concentrate (not yet diluted in alcohol).

Who is this service for?
This Compounding Service is available to Perfumers who have already created and finalized their formulation, and need to outsource the blending of their concentrated fragrance formula. We do not require IFRA Conformity to Compound, however, we are happy to provide IFRA Conformity Certificates for your blend.

Why is there a setup fee?
The fee covers the administrative time it takes to set the product up in our system, build the quote, perform physical lab testing for Safety Data Sheet (SDS), raw materials, blending, packaging, QC, and handling. 

Deliverables:

• Setup Fee: Quote ($/kg) and 30 ml evaluation sample of concentrate.
• Setup Fee + IFRA & Allergen: Quote ($/kg), 30mL evaluation sample of concentrate, IFRA Conformity Certificate (with ingredient limits), EU Allergen Report.

We understand that the one-time setup fee may seem high, but we have priced it as low as we can in order to be able to continue providing this service and maintain quality standards.

How much does a Contract Blend cost?
Price varies dramatically based on cost of raw materials, availability or ingredients, as well as the number of ingredients. We require approximately 95% or more of the ingredients in your formula to be in our raw material library before we will agree to blend your formula, in order to blend.

How long does this process take? The entire process can take anywhere between 2-6 weeks*. Major factors include how many ingredients in your formula we already carry. Steps (and timelines) are as follows:

Step 1 - Submit Order for 'Compounding (Contract Blend)' ONLY - please do not combine order with other items.
Step 2 - Submit Signed Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Step 3 - Submit Formula (Using Excel Format we provide).
Step 4 - Receive quote. (1-2 Business Days)
Step 5 - When quote is approved, we will blend a sample and ship it to you for you to evaluate. (2-6 weeks)
Step 6 - Evaluate sample.
Step 7 - When sample is approved, you will be sent a link to purchase agreed # of Kilo's from our site.
Step 8 - Order is put into the production que for blending (2-6 weeks)*.

*Compounding Service takes 2-6 weeks, and does NOT account for turnaround time of bulk (1kg-25kg) finished product, which takes an additional 2-6 weeks to process, as they are distinctly separate services.

Please note: The set-up fee is charged per formula. This service is limited to a maximum of five blends per order. If you place multiple individual orders that exceed this limit, please be aware that delays in turnaround time are likely due to the increased volume. Additionally, if you need everything shipped in a hurry, please place individual orders as we do not separate orders. If you make any changes to a blend after we have quoted and/or provided regulatory documentation, you will need to pay a 'reformulation fee,' which covers the additional labor of requoting and entering a new formula into our regulatory software. 

If we do not hear from you after 30 days of order submission - your order will be cancelled and refunded. If we have not received a confirmation to proceed with blending your evaluation sample within 90 days after your order was placed, you will need to resubmit a new order for quote and evaluation sample.
