Per Hour (or per day) cosmetic lab rental
Posted by AVisotsky on March 14, 2019 at 6:13 pmHello! Thinking to put together a small scale cosmetic lab (I’m in NorCal) and also make it available for rent on per day basis. Is this something folks could be interested in renting?

I think it’s an interesting idea but would need some strategic development. Are you going to market it to cosmetic chemists only? Make it like a workshop where you teach others about emulsion science? Will you buy materials and keep stock-how will you charge for those costs?

Mostly thinking to approach it similar how commercial kitchens are set up: no materials but basic tools are provided.

Agree, teaching complete courses looks better.
Anyone can set up a starting cosmetic “lab” with $200 or less
you’ll only need a scale, something to measure liquids (like graduated cylinders), a double boiler (even a beaker in a clean cooking pot on the stove works fine), a thermometer, a hand stirrer, a pH meter (some even use pH paper when starting up)
and that’s about it. So nobody would waste time and money to travel to an existing lab … unless courses are taught there.OTOH you can sell cosmetic lab kits online yourself
so customers only have to buy all the above from a single place. -
My only worry would be “Heisenberg” turning up with the ingredients to make some blue crystals…
