A formula without manufacturing experience is just paper.

Most formulators produce beautiful 100 g lab samples that turn out to be unusable in a 500 kg reactor. Our approach rests on the synergy of three roles — which is why the work reaches the shelf instead of staying in a lab notebook.

  1. 01

    R&D formulation

    • Design of advanced peptide and barrier systems
    • Work with high-performance actives and liposomal forms
    • Modelling of a premium sensory profile and organoleptics
    • Laboratory stress testing and formula stabilisation
  2. 02

    Process engineering

    • Calculation of rheology and viscosity characteristics
    • Control of phase transitions, temperature maps and emulsification
    • Process regulations and standard technological batch cards
    • Industrial transfer: scale-up from 100 g to multi-tonne batches
  3. 03

    Production adaptation

    • Cost optimisation and raw material availability control
    • Adapting formulations to the existing reactor equipment
    • Ensuring 100% reproducibility of every production batch
    • Preventing manufacturing defects, sedimentation and separation

A laboratory sample is only the beginning.

Our goal is a stable, manufacturable and commercially viable product, fully ready for series production.

Ways to work together

  1. 01

    Turnkey formulation development

    Original formulas built to your brief — from active selection to a stable sample ready for scale-up.

    • Face care: anti-age complexes, peptide serums, lamellar emulsions, AHA/BHA systems, skin barrier repair
    • Hair and scalp care: trichological ranges, sulphate-free systems, lipid masks, heat protection and sprays
    • Body and SPA care: functional emulsions, thermo- and lipolytic products, gentle exfoliants

    Deliverable An approved laboratory sample, detailed process instructions, raw material specification (INCI) and a primary stability report.

  2. 02

    Technology transfer & production audit

    Moving the formula from the lab into industrial volume while preserving the declared quality, stability and organoleptics.

    • System scale-up: a seamless move from lab beaker to multi-tonne reactors (transfer of technology)
    • Technical documentation: process regulations, standard batch cards and step-by-step phase addition protocols
    • Author supervision: hands-on control of the first industrial batches at your site or a contract manufacturer
    • Process audit: compatibility of formulas with your reactor and filling equipment

    Deliverable A complete technical documentation package, a working process and a stable first industrial batch with no defects.

  3. 03

    Reformulation & optimisation

    Correcting problem formulations and reducing cost without losing product quality or sensory profile.

    • Resolving stability issues: separation, viscosity drift, sedimentation
    • Replacing scarce or expensive components without losing sensory quality or efficacy
    • Optimising production processes and batch cycle time
    • Reviewing and rebuilding technical documentation

    Deliverable A stable reworked formulation, reduced cost of goods and technical documentation put back in order.

How the work runs

  1. 01

    Technical brief

    Fixing the product concept, target audience, key actives, sensory requirements and target cost of goods.

  2. 02

    Laboratory R&D

    Formula development, first prototypes, organoleptic tuning and initial stability stress tests.

  3. 03

    Testing & sign-off

    Client evaluation of samples, final adjustment of texture, viscosity and fragrance until the formula is approved.

  4. 04

    Technical documentation

    Process regulations, standard batch cards, raw material specifications (INCI) and phase addition protocols.

  5. 05

    Industrial transfer

    Technological support and author supervision of the pilot production batch on the manufacturing floor.
