Formulation product prototyping

We develop innovative formulations designed to meet the specific needs of the personal and homecare sectors. Our expertise ensures enhanced performance, stability, and user experience. 

Our formulation capabilities include: 

  • Stability enhancement and extended shelf life. 

  • Improved flow, texture, and application properties. 

  • Advanced wetting, foaming, and sensory characteristics. 

  • Smart encapsulation of actives and additives for controlled release. 

  • Analytical investigation and materials optimisation. 

  • Expertise in both batch and continuous production. 

  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA). 

Reformulating with alternative materials

We support reformulation to meet sustainability targets, comply with changing regulations, and overcome raw material challenges. Our advanced analytical and digital techniques accelerate the reformulation process. 

We help you reformulate by: 

  • Meeting sustainability and biodegradability standards. 

  • Adapting to fluctuating raw material availability and costs. 

  • Sourcing alternative ingredients to manage supply chain risks. 

  • Accelerating development using high-throughput screening, AI, and machine learning. 

Developing bio-ingredients

We enable the development and scale-up of sustainable, bio-based ingredients to replace conventional components in personal and homecare products. 

Our bio-ingredient development expertise covers: 

  • Biosurfactants and microbiome-based solutions. 

  • Sustainable alternatives to petroleum- and palm oil-derived ingredients. 

  • High-quality, environmentally responsible fragrance development. 

  • End-to-end biomanufacturing, from strain development to scalable production.
