SAMPLE PLANNING
A sample with
a clear purpose.
Define the material and the decision before requesting a sample. Availability, sample quantity, charges and shipment terms are confirmed for the individual enquiry.
01
Choose the candidate
Provide the ingredient name and CAS or sequence where relevant. A shortlist is useful when you also state what will decide between candidates.
02
Define the sample
Specify the required supplied format, evaluation quantity, requested documentation and destination. Ask for sample charges and shipping terms.
03
Plan the evaluation
Set the decision the sample should support. Keep the formula base, pH, processing stage, target market and intended cosmetic claim in the record.
04
Connect the follow-up
Keep the material identity, sample batch and document versions with your observations. The next request should specify what changed and which quantity or grade is needed.
PUT THE QUESTION INTO A BRIEF
What do you need
the sample to tell you?
Include the product format, target market, stage, ingredient identity, quantity and your evaluation questions. Use the blank project brief if you want a reusable structure for your team.
YOUR NEXT STEP
A clear brief.
A useful conversation.
