DEVELOPMENT
From innovative idea to product: when science meets creativity
Our development department has extensive experience in the development of cosmetic products.
How it works
Based on your brief, our development team works out an initial, customised formulation. Our knowledge, scientific expertise, and creativity flow into the product. We nurture active communication with the customer about active agents, textures, regulatory requirements, and so on.
Product development: building the perfect product together
A key step on the way to a successful product is the initial sampling from our development lab. Now you can experience your product! The product is then perfected together in further steps. After you have given final approval for the formulation, the necessary tests such as stability and compatibility, microbiological load tests, and dermatological tolerance tests are performed. At the customer’s request, we can perform additional tests such as effectiveness tests through our network of specialist laboratories inside and outside the country.
Documentation & regulatory: an area of growing importance
There’s one more step after all tests have been successfully completed. Certain documentation and registration regulations must be complied with in order to launch the product on the market. These include the creation and maintenance of the product information file (PIF) and CPNP registration. Our experienced regulatory team will be happy to handle this for you.
We support you in conquering new markets. Numerous country-specific regulations must be followed and corresponding documents and certificates must be obtained before bringing cosmetic products to market. We’re happy to advise you.
Ready-to-sell: an efficient alternative

Revision of existing formulations
Does your product no longer meet your requirements or comply with constantly changing legislation? Do you want to sell your product in new markets and need to adjust the ingredients? No problem! Our development team is happy to advise you on the steps required for successful implementation (laboratory tests, mandatory and recommended tests, adaptation of regulatory documents, etc.).
Case studies
We love our day-to-day work and always give our customers our best. Witness our quality and expertise yourself.
Blemish stick development
A few personal meetings about desired parameters made it clear that the existing formulation would have to be redesigned from the ground up.
In addition, we identified a critical raw ingredient which could become the target of regulatory restrictions in a few years. Since our development department keeps its finger on the pulse, is tapped into a huge network of information sources, and stays in constant communication with raw ingredient suppliers, this ingredient could be proactively replaced.
We were able to present the customer with an initial product sample for testing after just one month.
Naturally, the customer feedback that we had set an extremely high bar for time, service, and quality delighted and motivated us.
Regulatory adaptation
After learning of a change to the permitted maximum concentration of an ingredient, we proactively contacted all affected customers and offered suggestions for solutions. We were able to define the best course of action together quickly and efficiently.
Update of the ‘ready-to-sell’ sun protection range
We recently reworked our entire ‘ready-to-sell’ sun protection range at great expense in order to incorporate the latest scientific findings about sunscreen filters, effectiveness, product safety, and sustainability.
In a nutshell:
no sunscreen filters that could be hormonally active (endocrine disruptors), microplastic-free, nano-free, natural waxes/oils, silicon-free, PEG-free, no parabens, combination of chemical & mineral (natural) filters for optimal sun protection.
Adaptation to customer wishes
We presented a hand cream formulation from our ‘ready-to-sell’ product range to a customer. The customer loved the product and definitely wanted to include it in their product range. However, the meadowfoam seed oil in the formulation lacked the ‘Swissness’ the customer wanted, so we suggested adding alpine rose extract cultivated by local organic farmers in Switzerland to the formulation.
This allows the customer to advertise and market the product effectively.
