About

A small lab, built for indie brands.

Lab Batch is a Sydney-based contract formulation studio for the next generation of cosmetic founders. We turn briefs and AI-generated formulas into real, hand-mixed prototypes — reviewed by qualified Australian chemists, shipped from 100g.

Why we exist

Traditional contract manufacturers want orders measured in tonnes and timelines measured in quarters. That model doesn’t fit the founders we work with — people testing ideas, building their first SKUs, or iterating on a hero product. Lab Batch is the lab bench they don’t have to build themselves.

How we work

Every submission is reviewed by a cosmetic chemist for safety, regulatory fit, and manufacturability. If a formula needs tweaks we tell you why, propose alternatives, and re-quote. Once approved, we mix the sample in our Sydney lab and ship it labelled, documented, and ready to test.

Where we are

Lab Batch Pty Ltd is registered in New South Wales, Australia. Our lab and team are based in Sydney, and we ship Australia-wide.
