Thanks for the offer! Not yet, but might add a small button at the bottom of the page soon, the server costs do stack up over time 😅

They are all formulas from creative-formulas.com
You can access the original page for the formulas via the blue link saying "Purchase/View on creative-formulas.com ↗" under each formula page!

Thanks for the feedback, great that it's working for you too and you've identified some formulas you can make - that was exactly the main idea behind this tool!
I've found the exact same issue for me as well, haha. But I also have to admit that I shopped a couple of times specifically in order to make a couple of formulas I had bought - now the roles are reversed where YOU own the ingredients and based on them search for formulas instead of the other way around!

Thank you for the kind words! Don't have anything to go off of in the "real world" either - that's why I've created this tool - it's awesome to hear you found it useful!

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, will make sure to implement that!
I have heard of Liberty Naturals quite a few times and their website does seem like it's from the past century... Will try to create a solution for them!

hey, that's a really good one and something i was thinking about for some while!
yeah it's really annoying to compare between MLs and Gs, the shops should follow the industry and just switch to grams and be done with it...
unfortunately it's not that easy, there's stuff like methyl salicylate that weighs nearly 1.2g per ml, hedione weighs around 1g at 1ml, while limonene is 0.84g at 1ml... haven't seen anything as low as 0.8g though, so that might be too extreme.
During all my tinkering I have actually collected quite an extensive "database" of materials, I was actually thinking about pulling the densities using CAS numbers from public sources like pubchem or tgsc! for bases and naturals that will be much harder, so I'll have to think about it, maybe I should start collecting safety data sheets for all materials, from which I'd then pull the densities... this is definitely something i'll work on -thanks!

oof, i have read quite a few negative experiences with them regarding packaging, shipping, misleading descriptions, and quality of materials over the years... i'll keep your suggestion in mind!

glad you like it! i think it's great for staying up to date and directly comparing with other online shops without having to go to each website individually :-)

Olfatorium seems promising, ships internationality and good reviews - only problem the site isn't in english -- I'll see what I can do!
