Can I create a fully custom exfoliating body serum formula, or do I have to use a stock base?

Both options exist. Stock white-label bases offer speed and low MOQ but limit differentiation. A custom formula developed with an indie cosmetic chemist lets you control AHA percentages, pH, fragrance, and skin-feel — a key competitive advantage. Use AJ Cosmo Labs to post a custom formulation brief and get matched with cosmetic chemists who specialize in acid-based body care.
