I need a inexpensive cosmetic chemist to help me with a formula?

I own a small bodycare company and have a formula that I would like to re-create. I have consulted with several cosmetic chemists already but they want thousands of dollars to take on the project-which will take them no more than a couple of hours to do. I don't need to own the formula, but I would like to be given the formula and formulating instructions so that my little company can create this all natural product at my facility (house). Any inexpensive suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a possible alternative: Ask your suppliers for starting formulations for the kind of product you are trying to make. A lot of ingredient suppliers even have these on their websites.
Reply:Hello, you don't mentioned the cosmetic you want to formulate, there are many types in forms and effects, is it a lotion , cream or ointment ..etc , any kind needs its formula, i hope that you succeeded in uer job.
Reply:I believe that you are underestimating the work required to do this. If the ingredients are totally unknown, my initial estimate would be two people for six weeks, PLUS testing. That is not cheap. Sometime you get lucky, but rarely. Several tests that may be needed cost thousands each. The process is called deformulation. There are independent labs that do this work.

Based on your addition, get those chemists you talked to the job. You aren't going to get it done cheaper. I don't believe they can do it. Get the ingredients yourself and try to find the correct mix yourself. Being a chemist in that case is not needed.
Reply:you're underestimating the work chemists put in. the more experience we have the more valuable is our time. you can probably get a cheap chemist, but their work can be suspect. you get what you pay for.
