Applications
Laboratory
Our applications laboratory is well-equipped and is a hub of creativity where we explore the possibilities of the ingredients we offer. Our observations in the lab enable us to recommend our ingredients with confidence. As our customer, you have access to all our suppliers’ formulations and expertise when formulating with their ingredients. Kobo Products, for instance, can link you up to their SPF calculator, based on their treated sunscreen powders and dispersions to give an estimate UVA and UVB protection value. In addition to these resources, we have listed a few of our many own tried and tested guideline formulations in which our claims and speciality ingredients are used give cosmetic chemists a good start for a stable formulation. We do not attempt to supply the entire list of ingredients used in a formulation – we source the ingredients we do not supply from a network of reliable local suppliers.
