What the founder wanted
A founder wanted Ayurvedic botanicals to do meaningful corrective work in a fast-absorbing serum without becoming either a low-efficacy oil or a generic actives formula.
How it was built
I developed the formula from scratch by layering Ayurvedic botanicals according to the work they needed to do: firm, brighten, calm and protect. I specified exact extract forms, built a fast lamellar texture, chose a natural preservation route and connected the formula to its first claims story.
What was included
- Purpose-led botanical formula
- Exact extract grade and supplier direction
- Texture, preservation and manufacturing method
- Claims and brand-story starting point
What it unlocked
The founder could take a distinctive Ayurvedic-meets-modern serum to the laboratory without surrendering the texture, the evidence standard or the cultural point of view.
