If you are searching for cosmetic formulations, perhaps you want to make your own cosmetic brand.

This is great, as the cosmetics industry is growing on day to day basis, and there has been an increase in men's cosmetics these days as well, which was not the case in the past.

There are many DIY blogs out there that offer cosmetic formulations; the issue with them is they're usually made by amateurs, therefore the quality is very low. As a cosmetic chemist, my friends have always discouraged people from using such formulations if they are serious about their business.

You can also use a stock formulation. These formulations are made by professional formulators and are easily accessible through internet databases. Some of the formulations can be accessed using the below link;

Again, if your goal is to start a business I would strongly suggest you customize the formulation, as you don't want your product to be the same as thousand others. The downside of stock formulations is that anyone can use them, therefore in order to be competitive you really need to add that extra step.

To give you some idea, you can start working on soaps that are dedicated to males in society, as there are not many soaps for men. Soaps are considered to be a part of general use, so their advertisement is also not specific to demography.

Having your market segment clear out, people will love to buy your soap as those are specific to a certain type of people.

Also, as personal hygiene and personal care knowledge is increasing among people around the world, there is an increase in demand for cosmetic products dedicated to men.

For Example, intimate hygiene for men is not that common these days, but it is becoming popular among certain groups, who like to keep their personal hygiene top-notch.

Therefore, there is very little competition in that segment as well. You can search for formulations on thewiki Network as well by typing the formulation name in the search bar above, but ensure that you are modifying it with the help of your cosmetologist friend, as there should be uniqueness to your products.
