Research and Development

As we continue to develop the business, the nature of the research and development (R&D) has become more sophisticated, including additional time and investment in trend monitoring, consumer research, consumer testing, independent validation and claims substantiation. 

We continue to expand our portfolio of product offering and capabilities, with a key focus on the development of unique and technically challenging formulations across Facial and Body Skincare, a sector which requires constant monitoring of key trend materials to ensure we are meeting the consumers evolving needs to deliver product development quickly and efficaciously.

Looking forward, the team continues to invest time and resources into exploring new categories and technologies. Textures have also become key in this category requiring additional R&D development. 

A continuing and critical role of our R&D team is responding to the challenges of increasing raw material costs and availability. Cost mitigation through resourcing and finding alternative materials in conjunction with our procurement team is a necessary activity that requires significant lab time to validate alternatives.
