Our Formulation Process
Where Nature Meets Cosmetic Science
At Trades of Brit, formulation is intentional. Every product is thoughtfully developed to honor botanical ingredients while meeting modern cosmetic standards for safety, stability, and performance.
We believe skincare should work with your skin, not against it.
Our Philosophy
Nature provides the raw materials. Science makes them reliable.
Botanicals are powerful, but without proper formulation, they can be unstable, irritating, or ineffective. That’s why every Trades of Brit product begins with carefully selected plant-based ingredients and is refined through cosmetic chemistry.
This approach allows us to create skincare that is:
- Gentle enough for daily use
- Stable throughout its shelf life
- Effective without being aggressive
Where Nature Meets Cosmetic Science
We don’t follow trends, we select ingredients with purpose.
Each ingredient is chosen based on:
- Proven skin benefits
- Compatibility with sensitive or reactive skin
- Ability to support the skin barrier
- Stability within the final formula
We avoid overcrowded formulas and unnecessary additives. If an ingredient doesn’t serve the skin, it doesn’t belong.
Why Stability Matters
A product isn’t truly effective if it breaks down over time.
Stability ensures that:
- Active ingredients remain effective
- Texture and scent stay consistent
- The product remains safe throughout use
Our formulations are tested to ensure they perform as intended from the first use to the last.
Preservation With Care
Preservation is essential in skincare, even in small-batch production.
Rather than avoiding preservation altogether, we use thoughtful systems that protect both the product and the person using it. This helps prevent contamination while maintaining skin compatibility.
Clean skincare should still be safe skincare.
Small-Batch Production
We formulate and produce in small batches to maintain quality and control.
This allows us to:
- Monitor consistency closely
- Preserve ingredient integrity
- Make thoughtful adjustments when needed
Small-batch production ensures each product reflects our standards, not shortcuts.
Formulated by a Chemist
Trades of Brit is founded and formulated by a chemist with a deep respect for both science and plant-based ingredients.
This means:
- Ingredients are chosen for function, not marketing
- Formulas are designed with balance and intention
- Skin health always comes before trends
You deserve skincare backed by knowledge, not guesswork.
The Result
Skincare that:
- Respects your skin barrier
- Honors botanical integrity
- Meets modern formulation standards
- Feels luxurious, yet purposeful
This is intentional care—crafted with expertise from formula to finish.
