Products
Precision Technology for Superior Formulations
Don’t leave your formulation to chance. We combine state-of-the-art Silverson equipment with precision technology to deliver sub-micron particle sizes and perfectly stable emulsions. Our high-shear rotor/stator systems ensure every batch is processed with mathematical accuracy, eliminating agglomerates and reducing processing time by up to 90%.
Aerosol Characterisation and Mapping
Elevate your spray technology with data-driven precision. Utilizing our specialized aerosol-proof chambers, we offer a controlled environment to analyze "fragrance bloom," particle distribution, and discharge rates. By combining advanced containment technology with our formulation expertise, we ensure your aerosol products deliver a superior consumer experience while maintaining the highest levels of structural and chemical safety.
Cutting Edge Rheology Testing
Our laboratory utilises state-of-the-art rheometry to decode the complex flow behaviour of your formulations. By applying precision technology to measure shear stress, yield point, and viscoelastic properties, we turn "Integrated Innovation" into data-driven success. We don't just guess how your product feel, we quantify it to ensure perfect consistency, every time.
Advanced Formulation Science
Bridging the gap between molecular innovation and commercial reality. We combine cutting-edge material science with rigorous analytical testing to master the most challenging formulations. From stabilising high-potency actives to engineering complex unit-dose systems, our laboratory utilises precision measurement technologies to ensure every product is technically robust, globally compliant, and optimized for scale. We don't just develop formulas; we engineer high-performance solutions for the future of beauty, homecare and beyond.
Award-Winning Personal Care Formulations
Your vision deserves more than a standard formula. Phatstix, our double award-winning lip and face balm, is a testament to what happens when creative innovation meets rigorous lab science. We provide the high-tier formulation support and state-of-the-art laboratory environment needed to turn "good ideas" into industry-recognized successes. Partner with the lab that builds winners.
Advanced Skincare Formulation
Elevate the sensory experience of your brand. We specialise in the development of high-performance skincare, from ultra-stable emulsions to complex anhydrous balms. By leveraging state-of-the-art homogenisation and advanced rheological mapping, we engineer the perfect "glide," absorption rate, and skin-feel. We don’t just create creams; we architect the sophisticated textures that define luxury skincare.
Award-Winning Scalp & Hair Science
Clinical standards meet award-winning performance. Formulated in partnership with leading hair and scalp specialists, our award-winning shampoo demonstrates our expertise in targeted hair health. We bridge the gap between specialist requirements and consumer appeal, utilizing advanced material science to ensure every formula is as effective as it is luxurious. From therapeutic scalp care to high-end cleansers, we build products that satisfy both experts and judges.
