    1. Pick a benchmark for product comparison.<\/li>\n
    2. Develop baseline skills to help identify differences between cosmetic formulations. Note specific characteristics for different product types.<\/li>\n
    3. Make and test prototypes, changing only one variable at a time.<\/li>\n
    4. Test the prototype alone to determine if further testing is merited.<\/li>\n
    5. Compare samples in a blinded test.<\/li>\n
    6. Get opinions from others, noting differences and preferences.<\/li>\n
    7. Revise, revise, revise for optimum results.<\/li>\n
    8. Conduct stability and performance tests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
