Finished Formula - Indie
Finished formulas refer to optimized cosmetics and personal care products that are commercially available to the consumer. These may include contract manufacturer formulas that have been commercialized.
Finished formula entries are divided into three types based on their intended positioning in the market (subject to interpretation by the entrant): Indie, Mass and Prestige.
Indie formulas refer to boutique-style products, often positioned as “mom-and-pop shop” and/or handcrafted, that are often mid-priced and aligned with specific tenets (clean, vegan, organic, etc.)
