Beauty & Personal Care Innovation & Application Centers

Supporting customers and suppliers

Our Innovation & Application team regularly introduces innovative prototypes in bath and shower, skin, hair and color care, designed with your needs in mind. These formulations not only highlight emerging trends in the beauty and personal care market, but also showcase creative ingredients and applications, inspiring new possibilities for your product development.

Our prototypes include:

  • ready-to-use starter formulas that spotlight ingredients from our trusted suppliers
  • formulary cards for each prototype

To ensure quality and reliability, all formulation samples undergo rigorous stability testing. These formulas are created as flexible starting points, giving you the freedom to adapt or modify them to suit your unique product vision. By providing these resources, we aim to make your innovation journey smoother and more efficient, empowering you to bring standout products to market.

Beyond this, we offer comprehensive technical support, including sensory evaluations and performance testing. To explore our full range of capabilities, please visit the individual lab pages linked in the map below.
