Custom formulation & R&D

Turning your idea into a formula that works.

This is where an idea becomes a real recipe: which ingredients, how much of each, and whether the whole thing can actually be manufactured, stay stable on a shelf and taste acceptable. We do this before you commit to a production run, so you find out what works while it is still cheap to change.

Service areas

Four things we work on simultaneously.

Ingredient strategy

The team evaluates ingredient form, serving size, and the product's overall narrative — because the story and the science have to agree.

Technology options

Brands can use Tesseract-powered delivery and stability platforms when they add meaningful value to the formula. When they don't, we say so.

Format planning

Development across gummies, capsules, powders, sachets, liquids, topicals, tablets, tinctures and custom blends.

Commercial readiness

R&D decisions connect to packaging, labeling, cost structure, inventory management and reorder planning — not just the lab result.

Development process

A structured four-step approach.

01

Concept review

Defining goals and customer targeting. What is this product for, who is it for, and what does it need to prove?

02

Feasibility assessment

Evaluating dose, stability and taste. This is where a great idea becomes a producible one — or gets redirected before you spend.

03

R&D pathway

Building the development route around quality and launch readiness, with the commercial constraints already in view.

04

Scale-up

Transitioning into production planning, so nothing has to be re-solved when volume increases.

Formats we formulate for

Format is a formulation decision.

GummiesLow-temperature active infusion, custom flavor, color, shape and texture.
CapsulesHard capsules across a wide range of actives and blends.
PowdersSachets, bulk and tubs — solubility and taste engineered in.
LiquidsShots, syrups and liquid delivery with stability planning.
TabletsCompressed formats with coating and finish options.
SachetsSingle-serve, stick-pack and portable formats.
TincturesDropper-based delivery with precise dosing.
TopicalsCreams, serums and applied formats.
Creams & SerumsSkin-applied wellness and beauty formats.
Custom BlendsSomething different, built around your product.

Formulation should make the product easier to believe, not just different on paper.
