The cosmetics industry is constantly evolving. It is therefore incredibly difficult for a company to keep up with the many facets and ever-advancing developments in dermatology. Most companies have to focus on this.<\/p>\n

At Cosmacon, we are completely independent and always seek out the active ingredient partner that is the best fit for each client\u2019s project. This ensures that our clients have access to all available options. Thanks to our expertise in active ingredient innovation and development, we make what the \u201cbig players\u201d can do possible for smaller companies as well.<\/p>\n

Active Ingredient Innovation & Development by Cosmacon<\/h2>\n

It is striking that while many active ingredient suppliers certainly impress with innovation, numerous major brands deliberately pass up the opportunity to be \u201cfirst movers,\u201d even though doing so could give them an immense competitive advantage. The reason: they simply do not want to take any risks. For many active ingredient suppliers, Cosmacon has become an attractive partner because we require a maximum of six months for development. In most cases, the development time is actually only between two and three months. This is particularly important because the cosmetics industry is an extremely dynamic and forward-looking sector. Competition can be extremely fierce. This knowledge motivates us to continually find new approaches in the field of active ingredient innovation and development to foster creativity.<\/p>\n

Cosmacon possesses unparalleled experience in developing high-quality, reliable, and innovative cosmetics. In our Laboratory Information and Management System (LIMS), we now maintain a inventory of more than 7,700 high-quality raw materials and active ingredients. We can utilize these at any time and immediately for your products. By combining exceptional ingredients, we create high-performance skincare products, natural cosmetics, or active ingredient-based cosmetics (so-called \u201cDoctor Brands\u201d). With passion and expertise, we work tirelessly in active ingredient innovation & development to continually create new, revolutionary, and forward-looking cosmetics. Our range of services encompasses many different facets.<\/p>\n
