The first reason why you’re product formula was ineffective is. . .
You did not target a definite skin concern
Yes, you did not create a Sharp Shooter!
A sharp shooter is our nickname for any formula that has a precise function, it targets a specific skin concern, and it hits the concern with a great solution.
We’ve noticed that unskilled formulators tend to create formulas that are not designed right!
They tend to create formulas without a precise target, or a clear line of action.
Worst of all, they create formulas that are based on assumptions!
For example, you find a formula designed to achieve blemish-free skin, yet the formula contains no ingredients that clear blemishes . . . can that type of formula work??
. . .Or they could hear about a new ingredient and “assume” that the ingredient fights blemishes (maybe because an untrained influencer said it), then they load up their formula with an extreme concentration of that ingredient, only to finish and realize that they have caused more harm than good.
Sound familiar?
You see, when formulas aren’t designed right, they do not work when used.
The trick is to always create sharp shooter formulas. .
This makes your formula preferred,
This makes your formula effective,
This makes your formula a hit!
Now that you know the first thing to ensure, we can’t leave you without some helpful tips.
So, Here’s how to create a sharp shooter formula in 3 steps:
- Step 1 – Target a specific skin concern: this could be acne , spots, hyper-pigmentation, anti wrinkle, anything. Try not to target too many skin concerns at a time, so you do not loose efficacy.
- Step 2 – Build up a solid ingredient combination to attack that skin concern: create the right blend of ingredients to do the job as the wrong blend will only be ineffective.
- Step 3 – Design your formula considering major factors: There are major factors that guide our formula choices, once you don’t consider these factors, you end up with an ineffective product, or an unsafe product. Some factors we consider include ; dermal limits, toxicity, solubility, speed, possible production limitations, and much more.
