For contract manufacturers and private-label labs

Fully modular nano formulas.
Zero CapEx.

Offer your clients fully modular nanoscale formulas that command a premium markup, on exactly the equipment you already run. NanoBase™ is engineered on TDA Logic, the modern successor to 1940s HLB Logic, and makes up 55% to 95% of every formula. It arrives with its tri-domain structure built and DLS-characterised, so there is no emulsifier to select, no heated oil and water phases to emulsify, no cool-down and no homogenising step. Your team completes client formulas at room temperature with standard, low-shear mixing: easier and faster to make.

In-house nano vs building on TDA Logic with NanoBase™

Two ways to put a nano product on your clients' shelves.

Engineering nano in-house

Own the whole process, own every problem

  • Buy, validate and maintain nano-processing equipment
  • Stand up particle-size instrumentation and the staff to run it
  • Develop and defend your own size distribution, batch after batch
  • A long capital and validation timeline before the first sellable run
  • Each new active can send you back to reworking the process
Building on TDA Logic with NanoBase™

The structure arrives finished

  • Standard equipment and room-temperature mixing: nothing new to buy
  • Ships at ~185 nm, DLS-characterised before you receive it; finished formulas can be DLS-characterised by the lab
  • No emulsifier to select or balance for each client formula
  • Actives placed by TDA Logic, checked with the Loader before bench work
  • No MOQ for R&D; up to 40% off for manufacturing partners
How your team runs it

Ordinary cosmetic manufacturing.

The nanoscale engineering is done in our lab, upstream. What arrives at your facility is a characterised base to formulate on, not a process to reproduce.

Check the formula

Run the client's ingredient list through the NanoBase™ Loader: domain, pH, salt and cationic flags per ingredient.

Weigh NanoBase™

It makes up most of the finished formula. Your team adds the client's actives and texture ingredients.

Mix cold, low shear

Standard mixers at room temperature. No heat-and-hold emulsification step and no high-shear homogenising.

Check pH and fill

Confirm the finished formula sits in the Architecture's pH window, then fill on your existing line.

Know your cost

See your NanoBase™ cost per unit.

Pick your partnership tier, product size, batch and the share of NanoBase™ in the formula. You will see the NanoBase™ cost for the run and the NanoBase™ cost carried in each unit.

Share of the finished formula that is NanoBase™ architecture. The rest is your own actives, textures and water phase.

Priced at your order's volume level from the March 2026 schedule. The whole order takes the per-liter rate of the highest volume tier it reaches, so smaller runs cost more per liter. This is the NanoBase™ Architecture only, not finished-goods manufacturing, filling, packaging, shipping or hazmat. Custom volumes and regional exclusivity on request; book a call for a firm quote.

For your clients

Support that helps you win the brief.

Check

Compatibility before bench work

The free Loader and the NanoBase™ API check each ingredient's domain, pH, salt and cationic flags. The lab confirms.

Formulate

The lab can design it for you

Bring us a client brief and the TDA Logic lab designs the formula on NanoBase™ for you to manufacture, under NDA.

Label

INCI label support

Own

The formula is yours

Finished formulas belong to their owner under our Terms. Only how NanoBase™ itself is made stays proprietary to us.

Questions from manufacturers

Straight answers.

Do we need any new equipment?

No. NanoBase™ is completed at room temperature with the standard mixers and vessels you already run. There is no nano-processing equipment and no particle-size instrumentation to buy downstream.

What formats can we make?

Leave-on creams, lotions, serums, gels and mists. Solid and wax-based formats are outside its scope.

What about ingredients that normally need a heated phase?

They are pre-dissolved following the lab's handling notes before they go in, so the batch itself stays at room temperature. Avoid high-shear homogenising.

Do we select an emulsifier?

No. On NanoBase™, the Architecture engineered to TDA Logic, the emulsification is already built in, so no emulsifier is selected for each client formula. What is TDA Logic →

What is the minimum order?

No MOQ. Order from a 1 L sample up to 55-gallon drums, and volume pricing follows the tiers in the cost calculator above.

Is nanomaterial labelling required?

The EU defines a cosmetic nanomaterial as insoluble or biopersistent, intentionally manufactured, and 1 to 100 nm in size. NanoBase™ is designed as soluble, self-assembled colloidal domains, not an insoluble or biopersistent material. Brands confirm nano status per market: the brand's safety assessor confirms the status of each finished product, and we supply a nano-status statement under NDA.

Can we try it before committing?

Yes. Request samples with the TDS, SDS and CoA, and run your client's ingredient list through the NanoBase™ Loader first.

Request supply.

Tell us your volumes and what you need: samples and documents, a volume quote, or a formula designed for a client.

We use these details only to reply to your enquiry. Please don't send confidential formula details until a mutual NDA is in place. See our Privacy Policy.
