Cosmetics & skincare
Balms, salves, body butters, face oils, lotions, lip balms, hair oils.
Alchemis is the production & inventory tool for small-batch makers: cosmetics, candles, soaps, tinctures, preserves, cleaners. Recipes, batches, compliance, stock and sales, in one place that still feels like a workshop, not a warehouse.
Alchemis replaces the envelope-math, the duplicated spreadsheet, and the IFRA PDF you keep open in a tab. Everything else stays as it was: you, the bench, the oils, the work.
Build in percentages or real amounts. Change one ingredient and the rest redistribute. Mixed weight and volume (waxes in g, oils in ml, ethanol in proof) converts itself, density-aware.
One batch becomes twelve tins, three jars, eight candles, a row of tincture bottles, each its own inventory line. Photos, activity log, ruined-batch notes. The whole production run, on the record.
Checks your fragrance against IFRA, read from your supplier's certificate or worked out from its constituents, across cosmetics, candles, soaps and cleaners. EU cosmetic and soap-bath limits, INCI and allergens on top. More crafts' rule sets are coming. Amber warnings, not red errors. You're not doing anything wrong; you just need context.
Track, batch and label any craft you make in small runs. We check the fragrance against IFRA across all of them, and the full EU rule set for cosmetics and soaps today; more crafts' rules are on the way. Started with cosmetics; opened to every maker who works from a recipe.
Balms, salves, body butters, face oils, lotions, lip balms, hair oils.
Soy, beeswax, paraffin candles. Wax melts, reed diffusers, room sprays.
Cold-process, hot-process, melt-and-pour. Shampoo bars, shave bars.
All-purpose sprays, laundry liquid, dish soap, surface degreasers.
Tinctures, oxymels, glycerites, syrups, infused oils, herbal teas.
Jams, hot sauces, vinegars, kombucha, infused honeys, fermented condiments.

A taste of how the recipe builder behaves; the numbers here are a sample, not live regulatory data. Switch crafts to see how the math, units, and compliance rules change. Push the highlighted ingredient past its limit and the amber banner appears. Calm, factual, never red.
A tour of the things that make Alchemis Alchemis. Each one got built because a real batch needed it.
Versioned recipes, with notes, photos, and the lineage of every change you've made since v1.
Change one ingredient, the rest rebalance. Lock the ones you don't want touched.
Waxes in g, oils in ml, ethanol in proof, customary in oz. It converts itself with the right specific gravity.
Every batch a record: lot number, start time, end time, who, what, photo gallery and activity log.
One batch, many SKUs. 250g tubs, 50g tins, candles, sample sachets, each tracked in its own stock line.
INCI, ingredient lists, hazard pictograms, allergen blocks, PAO, drawn for the craft you're making. PDF or print roller.
Log market days, consignments, online sales. Stock drops automatically; reports add up at the end.
Hands gooey with wax or balm? Alchemis is built to work on a phone screen, so you can photograph a step, log a temperature and mark the batch from the bench. (A dedicated app is coming.)

A plain note on compliance. Alchemis does the heavy lifting (limits, fragrance loads, INCI, allergens, labels) on a best-effort basis from the data we hold. But rules change and no tool catches everything, so treat it as a sharp second pair of hands, not the last word. For anything you sell, do your own research too, and when the stakes are high, run it past a qualified assessor. The final call, and the responsibility, stays yours. We'd rather say that plainly than pretend we're infallible.
My partner makes things by hand: soaps, balms, oils, candles, the occasional batch of hot sauce. The kind of witchy DIY where recipes live in beautifully kept potion books with hand-written notes. I love those books.
But hand-written notes don't scale. Real batches, real stock, real markets: math on envelopes, stock counted twice, the witchy aesthetic and the production reality stopped being friends.
I'm a developer. She makes the magic. So I built her a tool that respects the craft but takes the friction out of the math, the labels and the compliance. Then we noticed every other maker we knew was doing the same envelope math, whatever they brewed.
