The Brief
"She wanted a water-free vitamin C serum stable at 40°C."
Priya Mehta came to us with a Notion doc and a Canva deck. Her concept: a 10% stabilized vitamin C serum in a fully anhydrous base — no water, no oxidation window, no brown-bottle compromise. The formulation challenge was keeping ascorbyl glucoside bioavailable in a silicone-free carrier at elevated temperatures.
Formulation Ingredients
The R&D Solve
Our formulation team ran 11 bench iterations over 3 weeks, stress-testing each variant in our stability chamber at 40°C / 75% RH. We solved the oxidation problem by switching the antioxidant system to a dual tocopherol–bisabolol combination, eliminating the need for chelating agents entirely.
"Iteration 9 hit the viscosity window. We ran the 500 kg pilot batch on a Tuesday. Stability at T+12 weeks: no color shift, no phase separation."— Lead Formulation Chemist, Formula R&D

EU Regulatory Stack
The Brief
14 SKUs reformulated for EU compliance by Q3.
Lumière Body had outgrown their original co-packer and needed to expand into European retail — but 6 of their 14 SKUs contained preservatives that exceed Annex VI limits. With a confirmed Sephora Europe listing riding on the Q3 deadline, there was no room for a slow reformulation cycle.
