    In general I would say no but it depends. We reverse engineer many products and in many cases we can provide an equal or often times better product than the benchmark. There are certain labs that can reverse engineer products for exact ingredient amounts though. Don’t be too surprised if you discover it contains products in it that shouldn’t be there or if the amounts of certain ingredients aren’t what they claim to be. We see it fairly often which is unfortunate.

    I just want to point out that anytime you decide to work with a chemist or company that is new to you it is a smart idea to do some research on who you are working with. There are some great companies on here and a little research on who you are working with can save you a lot of time, money and aggravation in the long run.

    September 20, 2017 at 4:43 pm in reply to: How can I know that a particular lab or chemist is good?

    We offer an R&D service where the client pays a fee but we technically own the formula and they always have the right to purchase their formula at anytime. We are always upfront about the different costs involved. This helps people get started without a huge upfront expense. Years ago we did the R&D for free in most cases but with start ups many people get cold feet about starting a business and we have to pay our chemists whether the customer opens shop or not. Charging a fee of some sort helps to wean through those that are serious about starting a company and some that aren’t or may be unsure. We get several customers that come to us and their previous manufacturer won’t sell them the formula regardless of the price because they don’t want to lose the business. In this case we just reverse engineer it for them. It’s always best to visit the lab/ facility and use your best judgement to decide if they are a good fit for you.
