Led by Vanessa Thomas, an industry veteran with over two decades of formulating experience, Freelance Formulations is the go-to skincare formulation lab and beauty product formulation lab for businesses across the U.S.—especially in the Southeast region.

Let’s explore what makes Freelance Formulations a standout partner in the beauty space, and how our wide range of formulation services for cosmetics can help you take your products from concept to creation.

Who is Vanessa Thomas?

Before diving into the services and capabilities of Freelance Formulations, it’s essential to know the powerhouse behind the brand. Vanessa Thomas holds an advanced master’s degree in Cosmetic Science and has spent more than 20 years working with both generic and brand-name cosmetic and OTC (over-the-counter) products. Her extensive experience spans the entire product lifecycle—from early concept development to full-scale manufacturing.

Vanessa’s career has been shaped by working with top contract manufacturers and high-profile beauty brands. She’s not just a formulator; she’s a product development expert who deeply understands consumer trends, regulatory requirements, and the science behind each ingredient.

Her reputation in the cosmetic science community is strong, particularly in the Southeast, where she actively contributes to the Florida Chapter of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists. With her guidance, Freelance Formulations has become a leader in delivering both innovative and market-ready beauty and health formulations.

Beauty Product Formulation Lab: From Lip Gloss to Hair Masks

Beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither are the products we formulate. Our beauty product formulation lab goes beyond skincare to include a wide variety of personal care and cosmetic items. This includes:

• Color cosmetics like lip gloss, foundations, and mascaras
  
  


• Hair care products such as shampoos, conditioners, and treatment masks
  
  


• Body care items like scrubs, lotions, and oils
  
  

Freelance Formulations understands that each category requires a different scientific approach and a deep understanding of ingredients, regulations, and market trends. With Vanessa’s extensive background, we offer insight and creativity to help you develop unique beauty products that stand out on the shelf and deliver real results.

From luxury to budget-friendly formulations, every product is crafted with the highest standards in mind. We also offer scalable solutions—so whether you’re producing 1,000 units or planning for nationwide retail, we’ve got you covered.

Custom Health and Beauty Formulations: Unique Products, Unique Brand

In today’s crowded market, standing out is essential. That’s why custom health and beauty formulations have become a vital service for indie and niche brands. Whether you want to launch a holistic wellness line, a CBD-infused beauty brand, or gender-neutral skincare, our team can create tailor-made solutions to suit your vision.

Custom formulations allow you to go beyond generic offerings and build a line that is uniquely yours. At Freelance Formulations, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Each formulation is created from scratch to match your specifications—texture, scent, active ingredients, performance claims, and more.

We also stay on top of regulatory changes and ingredient trends, ensuring your custom formulations are not only effective but compliant with FDA regulations and international standards if you plan to export.

Working with us means you get more than just a formula—you get a strategic partner who helps guide you through the entire product development process, including packaging suggestions, third-party testing coordination, and even manufacturer referrals.
