Who owns the intellectual property (IP) of the custom formula?
At LIZEE, we operate with a clear and firm principle: Your brand’s formula is your proprietary asset. We act strictly as your technical architect and manufacturing arm. From the moment the first lab sample is approved, the full ownership of that specific formulation belongs entirely to you.
1Pre-Collaboration Legal Framework (NDA)
We never begin a project without a formal legal shield. Our Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is designed to protect every layer of your innovation:
The "Total Formula" Protection: This includes not only the list of ingredients (INCI) but also the exact concentrations, specific blending order, and temperature protocols that make your product unique.
Sourcing Privacy: Any specific raw material suppliers or specialized active ingredients suggested by you are kept strictly confidential.
Commercial Integrity & Anti-Competition
As a "family business" focused on long-term partnerships, we safeguard your market advantage by preventing any internal "cross-pollination" of ideas:
Exclusive Customization: Once a formula is developed and finalized for your brand, it enters our "Restricted Archive." We guarantee that this specific formula will never be offered, sold, or "tweaked" for use by another client or competitor.
No Brand Competition: LIZEE does not operate any house brands. We are dedicated 100% to contract manufacturing (B2B), which eliminates any conflict of interest. We succeed only when your brand succeeds.
Formula Transparency & Regulatory Freedom
We believe in empowering our partners with the freedom to scale globally. We do not use formulas to "lock-in" our clients:
Full Compliance Documentation: We provide all necessary technical data sheets, stability reports, and ingredient breakdowns required for your brand's regulatory filings (such as GMPC, FDA, or local health authority registrations).
Strategic Independence: We respect the fact that for your brand to grow, you need full control over your IP. Our contract explicitly states that upon fulfillment of terms, the formula is yours to keep, manage, and protect as you see fit for your company’s valuation.
"Your success is our only metric. We build formulas to build your empire, not ours."
In our 14 years of history, we have handled thousands of proprietary formulas without a single breach of trust. We understand that in the cosmetics industry, trust is the invisible ingredient in every bottle.
