“I rebuilt my COGS model three times because my supplier changed their pricing format.”
“I genuinely don't know my gross margin until I manually work it through the spreadsheet.”
“Getting a price list from a new supplier takes a week of back-and-forth emails.”
“I had to look up every single INCI name manually before we could print labels.”
“My formula notes are scattered across emails, Notion, and sticky notes on my monitor.”
“I accidentally overwrote my best formula version and had no way to get it back.”
Formico is built to fix every one of these.
From raw ingredient costs to landed COGS — built for scientists who care about the numbers.
Build formulas with unlimited ingredients across custom sections. Changes save automatically as you type — no more losing work when you switch tabs.
Ingredient cost per unit, packaging, manufacturing, and freight — full cost build per batch with gross margin waterfall, updated as you type.
Download a pricing template, send it to your supplier, and upload it straight back in. Multiple supplier files stack automatically — no manual data entry.
Every ingredient you use is saved to your personal library. Re-add past ingredients to any formula in seconds — no re-typing names, CAS numbers, or costs.
Retail vs subscription margins, LTV projections, cost by section, cost by supplier — all calculated live across every formula.
Track CAS registry numbers and supplier names per ingredient. See a full cost-by-supplier breakdown in the analysis tab.
Keep batch observations, supplier contacts, to-do items, and development history right inside each formula. Everything in one place — no more sticky notes or stray emails.
Get ingredient recommendations, optimisation tips, compatibility warnings, and sourcing guidance — tailored to your exact formula and product type.
Export a professional PDF report of your formula — ingredients table, COGS breakdown, pricing waterfall, and margins — ready to share with stakeholders.
Generate a regulation-ready INCI ingredient list in seconds. AI maps your ingredient names to official INCI nomenclature, sorted by concentration — ready for EU and US label compliance.
Every saved formula version is tracked. Compare ingredient changes, cost deltas, and margin shifts between versions — so you always know what changed and why.
Every formula is saved securely to your account. Your IP stays yours — never shared, never public. Formulas are only visible to you.

Excel works — until your formula has 30 ingredients, three supplier quotes, and someone accidentally deletes a formula.
Everything you need to know before you start.
Excel works until it doesn't. Formulas break when ingredients change, COGS calculations have to be rebuilt for every new product, and sharing a spreadsheet with a supplier or co-founder always ends in a mess. Formico is purpose-built for formulated products — every calculation is already wired up, supplier pricing imports in one click, and your data is always there when you log in.
Completely. Every formula is locked to your account. Nothing is shared, indexed, or visible to other users — or to us. Your intellectual property stays yours.
No. Formico runs entirely in your browser. Sign up, log in, and start building — no downloads, no setup, no IT department required.
The free plan gives you 1 formula with full access to everything you need to cost a product: live COGS calculator, ingredient library, supplier Excel import, CAS number tracking, custom sections, and formula notes. It's fully functional — not a crippled trial. We're in early access and want you to see the value before asking for your card. Upgrade to Pro when you need unlimited formulas, AI suggestions, INCI generation, and PDF export.
Yes. Cancel from your account page at any time. You keep Pro access until the end of your current billing period — no lock-in, no cancellation fees.
