Cosmetic and DrugOTC Product Label Design - Similar in some ways to our Nutritional Label section FORMULATOR'S Nutritional Version, these tools allow the Cosmetic Chemist and Drug Developer to create the basic information for a Cosmetic Label including 3 sections: Section 1 for Product Name, Description, Company Name and other identifiers. Section 2 to define claims, directions or warnings. Section 3 to do ingredient list, either INCI names listed high to low, or INCI names with a list of Active Ingredients, high to low with % weight, and Inert Ingredients, high to low with % weight. The user can edit all 3 sections. Bar Codes, fill amount and other information can also be added.

FORMULATOR now supports user signature capture on additions or changes to formulations. This capability is available universally or selectively through FORMULATOR'S formula groups capability. Also available for Batch Approvals in Quality Manager and Project Approvals in Project Manager.

When a formula group is designated as requiring a signature, any changes to a formula with that group will prompt for a signature from the user. The signature is then stored along with the formula, and will be visible as an image when the formula change log is displayed. All signatures are stored in the main FORMULATOR database.

Alternately, FORMULATOR can require a signature for all formula changes, regardless of the formula group. FORMULATOR supports Interlink Electronics ePad signature pads. If signature capture is installed, any PC that needs to save formula changes will require one. Contact sales@formulatorus.com for availability and pricing.

The Interlink ePad plugs into any USB port on your computer. The drivers required are included with the ePad and are activated by the FORMULATOR license file. Click HERE to view how to install the drivers.
