SCS Formulate is the United Kingdom’s premier cosmetics and personal-care formulation event. It brings together scientists, formulators, suppliers and innovators to explore new trends, raw materials and formulation technologies.
This year’s SCS Formulate 2025 was a defining moment for Jarvis Cosmetic Developments. Not only were we chosen to deliver an Inform seminar, but we also exhibited for the very first time. This milestone showcased our formulation expertise and our commitment to innovation in personal care manufacturing. This was a clear statement of who we are: A trusted partner blending creativity, science and manufacturing excellence to help brands thrive in a competitive UK marketplace through new cosmetic research and product development.
Connecting With the Industry
SCS Formulate gave us an invaluable platform to reconnect with our trusted suppliers and long-standing customers. It also allowed us to engage with emerging brands discovering Jarvis Cosmetic Developments for the first time. Exhibiting allowed us to share who we are, what we do, and how we support brands of all sizes with cosmetic product innovation, scalable, high-quality manufacturing solutions, and expert guidance through our cosmetic consultancy.
Innovation on Display: Nine Exclusive Formulations
Our senior development chemists created nine brand-new prototypes exclusively for the show, highlighting our capabilities across skincare formulation, body care development, and custom product innovation.
Body Care Innovations
- Sweet Radiance Body Scrub – a luxurious exfoliating scrub that transforms into a silky milk upon contact with water.
- Cashmere Luxe Body Butter – a rich, indulgent butter that melts effortlessly into the skin.
- Daily Dew Body Serum – a refreshing, fast-absorbing serum that delivers deep hydration without residue.
- Soft Touch Hand Balm – a cocooning yet non-greasy balm for smooth, nourished hands.
- Coco Mango Shine Oil – a lightweight hair oil for a healthy glow.
Skincare Innovations
- Morning Glow + Midnight Clay Mask + Cleanser – a versatile 2-in-1 cleanser/mask offering gentle foam and purifying benefits.
- Barrier Repair Mineral Mask – a marshmallow-soft clay treatment that purifies while maintaining hydration.
- Satin Dew Overnight Mask – an intensive hydrating overnight formula designed to calm tightness and support the skin barrier.
- Hydra Shield Barrier Serum – a cooling, gel-based serum that delivers hydration and helps restore barrier function.
These concepts were designed to demonstrate our strength in bespoke product development; from concept through formulation, manufacturing scale-up and onto consumer-ready products.
Sharing Our Expertise
Alongside showcasing our prototypes, our team also had the opportunity to share our knowledge with the next generation of beauty brand founders. Sandra and Sheila took the stage during an Inform Seminar, where they guided beauty entrepreneurs through the critical steps of building a successful cosmetic brand. Their session went beyond theory. It offered practical insights on defining brand identity, shaping product concepts, selecting the right partners, navigating compliance and turning big ideas into market-ready products.
Looking Ahead
SCS Formulate 2025 was an energising and rewarding milestone. It strengthened our industry relationships, showcased our innovation capabilities and reaffirmed our commitment to supporting brands as they develop exceptional personal care products. As we look ahead, our focus remains on advancing formulation creativity, expanding collaborative partnerships, and helping more businesses turn bright ideas into market-ready products.
