Illustrative example
This page is an illustrative example built from sample content — it does not represent a real, registered AJ Cosmo Labs seller or an actual customer testimonial. It shows how a chemist's storefront and services can be structured on the platform.
Independent cosmetic chemists and formulators use AJ Cosmo Labs to put a storefront in front of brands that need a product built from scratch. Instead of chasing leads in DMs and email threads, a chemist can list the services they actually offer — bench formulation, stability testing, ingredient sourcing guidance, regulatory paperwork — with clear scope and pricing up front.
Brands searching the marketplace can see a chemist's specialties, request a project, and move into an escrowed payment and NDA flow without leaving the app. That means less time spent on unpaid discovery calls and more time formulating.
The example below shows what a cosmetic chemist's storefront can look like once it's set up — the services, the pricing structure, and the kind of scope notes that help a brand know exactly what they're paying for.
