How a project reaches you
By the time you see it, the customer has paid, the chemist has signed off, and the spec is complete. You decide in one click.
- 1
The customer pays Genie
A brand commits to a run size and has already paid Genie before you see the project. Nobody is window shopping.
- 2
A chemist completes the spec
Exact percentages, format and fill, packaging, target cost, claims and required certifications. Locked as a version.
- 3
We match it to your line
Process, format, fill size, minimums, registrations and what you don’t run. A heated emulsion is not sent to a line that has told us it runs cold only.
- 4
You accept or pass
One click. Your sampling fee is paid before you start. You quote the run at your price.
What every project includes
- The full formula with exact ingredient percentages
- Unit format, fill size and the run size the customer committed to
- Packaging plan and who supplies the components
- Target cost per unit, so you know before you quote
- Claims and the certifications the product needs
- One thread with the customer and the chemist, spec attached
What we match on
Your page tells us what your line runs, in your words. That record is what projects are matched against, so a sharp one brings the projects that fit and keeps the rest off your desk.

Your terms
You set the price
Sampling and the run are quoted at your price. Genie is paid by the customer, never by a line on your quote.
Nothing to pay
Your listing, your page and every project sent to you are free.
The brand owns the formula
You receive a finished spec to run. No formulation work is asked of you unless you offer it.
Listed or not, your call

Questions manufacturers ask
- Do I pay anything?
- No. The customer pays Genie. Your listing and every project are free, and there is no fee on your quote.
- What if I pass on a project?
- One click, with a reason if you have one. Passing costs nothing, and the reason makes the next match better.
- How do you know what I run?
- Your page starts from your website and our notes. When you claim it you correct anything that is wrong, and from then on your word is the record.
- When do samples get paid?
- Before you start. The customer pays your sampling fee through Genie when they approve the project, and Genie settles it with you.
- Who is on the other end?
- The brand, the chemist who reviewed the formula, and your Genie contact, in one thread with the spec attached. No forwarded email chains.
- Why is my company listed?
- We build the directory from public sources so brands can see who could make their product. Claiming your page lets you correct it; a removal request takes it down.
