The creation and evaluation of new raw materials

Thanks to our highly experienced team and daily communication with our sales team in the field, our scientists are able to respond to market demands, however specific they may be. Design of experiments are put in place to meet the needs of today's and tomorrow's cosmetic market.

Technical support

Our staff, thanks to their expertise and passion, are able to fulfill the customer's requirements, from technical challenges to, for example, the selection of formulations that are in line with economic needs or sustainable goals. The laboratory is a place of exchange and conviviality, where colleagues and/or partners meet to discuss problems as diverse as the optimization of production processes to the remodeling of existing formulas in order, for example, to improve their appearance or increase their stability.

Formulations

Connect Chemicals is your formulation partner thanks to the application laboratory. Before being approved and published, Connect Chemicals' formulation guidelines are tested for their physical, cosmetic and sensory properties. They must pass at least 3 months of accelerated storage stability and the classic centrifugation test in the case of emulsions or other suspensions. Our laboratories, instruments and competence allow us to offer you a complete solution, from the feasibility study of the projects to the realization of prototypes and even pilot plant trials. Do not hesitate any longer, contact our experts for immediate assistance for the development of your new formulations.
