Nutricosmetics
Experts in Nutricosmetics / beauty from within
Supplements to provide cosmetic benefits are becoming very popular. Although this sector has been active since around 2010, consumer buy-in has only really started to take off since around 2020.
The types of cosmetic benefits sought from ingestible products includes:
* Complexion improvement.
* Skin brightening.
* Age spot reduction.
* Reducing the appearance of dark circles.
* Hair condition and reducing hair loss.
* Nail strength and condition.
We specialise in the development and testing of Nutricosmetic formulations. Due to our combined experience in traditional (topical) cosmetic formulation and nutraceutical formulations, we are able to marry the two in order to create high performance products.
We work with brands to develop new formulations and also with ingredient manufacturers to create and efficacy test new active ingredients and complexes. This is a very exciting and fast-growing sector. It is essential to get the formulation and testing regime right. That's where we can help.
