Formulation Horror Stories: 🎃 Halloween Edition 🎃

It's spooky season, and this week Kayla Fioravanti is doing something a little different: her biggest formulation horror stories. Batch failures, stability blowouts, scale-up surprises — the moments that made her want to scream, and exactly what each one taught her.

Every formulator has a graveyard of failed batches. This week Kayla will share a few from hers.

NEXT SESSION, OCTOBER 23RD:
Supplier Changes and Concentration Math: The Hidden Formula Killer
Ingredients change more often than most people realize — a new supplier, a new lot from the same supplier, a different concentration, a different grade. Surfactants, actives, acids — almost anything can shift without warning. This week, Kayla Fioravanti covers why incoming QC (checking what comes in) and outgoing QC (checking what goes out) both matter, and how skipping either one can let a small supplier change turn into a big formula problem.
Trust, but verify. Every time.
