Founder Note
Tricelle Gray
Founder, principal cosmetic chemist, and software engineer.
I am a cosmetic chemist and software engineer, which means I think about beauty products as both sensory formulas and operating systems. The goal is not just to make something feel beautiful. It is to make the product clear enough to develop, document, test, and hand off.
As the founder of Formuley, a formulation and product launch platform for beauty teams, I operate at the intersection of technical development, product strategy, and hands-on cosmetic formulation.
Through Cire Chemistry, I help founders and brands choose the right next step: clarify a product idea, shape a product brief, audit an existing formula, build a custom formula, or prepare for manufacturing conversations.
The same systems thinking behind Formuley shapes how I approach Cire Chemistry: product ideas become clear briefs, formulas, claims, documents, and production conversations.
When manufacturing coordination is required, I can prepare a clean handoff and collaborate with trusted industry partners once the product, documentation, and project terms are ready.
Manufacturing Coordination
A cleaner handoff when it is time to produce.
If your product is ready for production conversations, Cire Chemistry can organize the formula status, brief, claims context, batch notes, and manufacturer questions so the next conversation is productive. When manufacturing support makes sense, introductions can be made as part of the project scope.
