Cosmetic Formulating
The Institute of Personal Care Science can develop your product from the concept stage to cosmetic formulation, as well as conduct efficacy testing, stability testing, and prepare regulatory compliant marketing materials with impact. Our development team is highly experienced and qualified to prepare a range of cosmetic formulas and personal care products while ensuring your product development has innovative points of difference using the latest formulation techniques and personal care trends.
We do not manufacture products and we do not have our own brand – so there is no conflict of interest with the cosmetic formulations we develop. On completion of the development process, you will OWN your cosmetic formulations – all Intellectual Property rights are assigned to you and you are given all the formulation details, method of manufacture and raw material supplier information so you can go to any contract manufacturer, anywhere in the world, and have them manufacture your product.
At IPCS, we train what we do and we do what we train – there is no better place to come to for your cosmetic formulations and product developments, as we specialise in the training and services we provide. At IPCS, your personal care products and cosmetic formulations will:
• Be unique to your company
• Use the latest raw materials and cosmetic formulation trends
• Meet your company philosophy and development needs
• Meet compliance requirements in Australia and overseas as required
We can help you develop single cosmetic products or entire brand lines – consider us as your own private lab with the advantage of years of experience, the latest equipment and advice, and leading innovation.
