We offer a complete end-to-end development process for brand-new products. Working directly with a senior development chemist, you’ll share your brief and brand vision to guide formulation development. Up to six sample iterations will be prepared until the product meets your approval. Intellectual property (IP) rights for the final formula will belong to you. Please note, all new formulations must undergo testing a cosmetic product safety report before product launch.

We will review and adjust your current formula by replacing or modifying a single ingredient - whether to improve performance, replace a discontinued raw material, or comply with regulatory changes. Up to three sample versions will be provided for your evaluation. Please note, retesting and a cosmetic product safety report will be required.

For more comprehensive updates, we can modify multiple ingredients within your existing formula to refine or enhance your product. Up to three sample versions will be created for your approval. Please note, retesting and a cosmetic product safety report will be required.

Stability testing is a legal requirement, whether for your existing formula or one developed with us. We prepare the necessary samples and conduct rigorous testing in vitro across varied temperature conditions, with photographic documentation included in a detailed stability report.

Challenge testing is an essential regulatory step to ensure preservative systems are effective and safe. We provide either ISO 11930 cosmetic challenge testing or BP/EP testing, depending on requirements. This process validates consumer safety and confirms compliance with industry standards.

We carry out thorough compatibility testing using client-supplied packaging. This includes weight loss measurements, dispensing checks, and photographic documentation, accompanied by a detailed report. Each packaging type intended for market use must undergo testing to confirm product and pack compatibility.

This optional assessment becomes a legal requirement if you intend to make hydration claims in your packaging or marketing materials. Using a Corneometer, we test with at least 20 participants over defined time intervals.

For products making skin barrier integrity claims, this test is a regulatory requirement. Using our Tewameter, which measures the TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss) in the skin, we test at least 20 participants across set intervals.

Cosmetic regulations require full ingredient listings in the correct order, including fragrance allergens. With recent and ongoing expansions to the allergen list in the EU, compliance can be complex. We review your formulations and fragrances to ensure your INCI declarations meet the latest legal standards in your chosen market regions.

We review your packaging and labelling details against applicable regulation and highlight any discrepancies that must be corrected. Our service includes a full report and up to three reviews for your label artwork to ensure compliance across the UK and EU markets.

We provide a detailed assessment of your product claims, verifying they are legal, valid and supported by appropriate evidence. Where possible, we also suggest additional compliant claims that may strengthen your product positioning, subject to available data at the time of review.

Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) is a legal requirement for market entry. We provide CPSR’s for both the UK/EU and global markets, ensuring your product meets the necessary safety and regulatory standards. While only one CPSR is required per target region, global compliance may involve navigating complex, country-specific requirements.

All cosmetic products must be registered before being marketed within the UK and EU markets. We assist your Responsible Person with completing the required submissions to both the UK’s SCPN portal and the EU’s CPNP portal, ensuring compliance with each region’s regulatory framework.

Every cosmetic product legally requires a Product Information File (PIF), which must be available to regulatory authorities. We can compile this file on your behalf, provided you supply the necessary documentation (including raw material data, safety data sheets, and test reports). A PIF is automatically included if your product is developed with us.

Benefit from our technical and regulatory expertise, combined with innovative formulation design. A senior chemist - experienced in premium product development and successful manufacturing - will be assigned to your project. Consultancy is available on an hourly basis.

If you wish to switch manufacturers, we can provide a quote and produce a sample of your product based on your existing formula and Product Information File (PIF). As long as the formula remains unchanged, no additional testing or cosmetic safety report is necessary.
