Product overview
Mix Lab AI is an AI-assisted formulation platform for R&D and small manufacturing teams across cosmetics, nutraceuticals, food, cannabis, coatings, and adjacent chemical verticals.
- Manage formulations (or recipes/blends) with ingredients, concentrations, phases, versions, and test results.
- Parse INCI, supplement, and food ingredient lists into structured components.
- Run industry-aware compliance context (e.g. Health Canada, IFRA, AAFCO, VOC, NPN).
- Estimate COGS from supplier pricing and scale formulas into production batches.
- Use Benchmark Analysis and AI Research to accelerate competitor reverse-engineering and ingredient decisions.
- Available on web, iOS, Android, and iPad with industry-tailored nav and labels.
Pricing factors
Pricing is plan-based (Free $0, Pro $59/mo, Team $199/mo, Enterprise custom) with quotas for AI research and benchmark analyses, plus optional regulatory add-ons by vertical.
- Free: 3 formulations, basic INCI parsing, limited research (~5/mo), web-oriented.
- Pro ($59/mo): unlimited formulations, Health Canada validation, mobile, supplier pricing; included ~100 research and ~20 benchmarks/mo.
- Team ($199/mo): Pro features plus collaboration, roles, shared library, higher quotas (~500 research / ~100 benchmarks), ~5–15 seats.
- Enterprise: custom pricing for API depth, custom regulations, and dedicated support.
- Overage on Pro/Team can apply after included research/benchmark quotas.
- Compare plans and add-ons at /plans; billing via Stripe updates Profile.plan after checkout.
Industries
At onboarding, users select one of 24+ industries so Mix Lab AI can tailor section visibility, nav labels, compliance copy, and formulation field labels.
- Adhesives & Sealants

- Textiles & Dyes
- Examples of tailoring: Fragrance may hide production/inventory; Food & Beverage labels Formulations as Recipes; Cosmetics emphasize INCI and Health Canada.
- Industry landing pages use hyphenated slugs (e.g. cosmetics_beauty → cosmetics-beauty) for programmatic SEO.
How Benchmark Analysis works
Benchmark Analysis turns a competitor URL or pasted ingredient list into structured components and a draft comparable formula for R&D iteration.
- Input: product URL and/or raw INCI / ingredient declaration.
- AI extracts ordered ingredients and concentrations when present.
- Output feeds formula drafting, compliance preview, and cost exploration.
- Monthly quotas by plan (illustrative: Free limited/none for full workflow; Pro ~20; Team ~100) with optional overage.
- Treat drafts as starting points—validate performance, claims, and regulations before commercialization.
How compliance works
Compliance tools provide decision-support checks mapped to the user’s industry—not a substitute for qualified regulatory counsel or final submissions.
- Cosmetics / indie beauty: Health Canada hot-list style checks; Ecocert/COSMOS-oriented certification limits.
- Nutraceuticals / OTC: NPN and NHP-oriented workflows; Supplement Facts–style parsing.
- Fragrance: IFRA and allergen disclosure context.
- Pet food: AAFCO/FEDIAF-minded nutritional adequacy context.
- Cleaning / paints / marine: DIN, ECOLOGO, CFIA, VOC-oriented checks as relevant.
- Checklists and reports live under Regulatory; results should be reviewed by a responsible person before market release.
Free tools
Public free tools provide instant formulator utility without an account; full compliance, batches, and costing require signup.
- INCI / ingredient list parser at /free/inci-parser — paste lists into a structured table.
- Lab unit converter at /free/unit-converter — mass, volume, concentration, temperature, length.
- Index of free tools at /free.
- Signed-in users also get /tools/converter inside the app.
- Soft gates may prompt signup for deeper compliance preview after parsing.
API & integrations (REST, webhooks, agents)
Mix Lab AI exposes REST API v1 and outbound webhooks for automation; agents can use the knowledge catalog and docs to operate against formulations and batches.
- Base path: /api/v1 — formulations, ingredients, inventory, production batches, compliance helpers, audit, notifications, me.
- Auth: Authorization Bearer <Supabase access token> from a signed-in session.
- Rate limit: ~120 requests per rolling minute per user (Upstash Redis when configured).
- Outbound webhooks: HMAC-signed POSTs (X-MixLab-Signature) for formulation.*, production_batch.*, samples, stability, etc.
- In-app docs: /settings/api-docs and /settings/integrations; register webhooks at /settings/webhooks.
- Zapier/Make-friendly via webhooks; Enterprise emphasizes deeper API and custom integration support.
- MCP / agent tooling: use this catalog (getKnowledgeIndex) plus public FAQ and industry landing content as grounding; do not invent prices or quotas beyond documented plans.
