Formulation and Product Testing Tips for Developing a Cosmeceutical Product (Inside Cosmeceuticals)
Susan Trefny, Formulation Scientist at Chemir, presents steps to consider when creating a new cosmetic or cosmeceutical product. Topics include desired marketing claims, formulation, prototyping, testing, and shelf-life studies.
Chemir is a leader in providing deformulation services. Read about the products we reverse engineer, and the types of analytical methods applied to these investigations.
From initial concept to a finished product, Chemir has helped create new personal care and beauty products. Here we discuss sources of formulation information, and present the various classes of ingredients used.
The Challenge of Plastic Deformulation
Companies seek to deformulate, or reverse engineer plastic products for many reasons. Read about our strategies to identify additives, stabilizers and catalysts.
Plastics in Reverse (Plastics Engineering Magazine, Nov. 2007)
Reverse engineering a competitor’s formulation can be important information in gaining market advantage, as well as troubleshooting product issues. Learn about deformulation from polymer experts from both Chemir and CAS-MI Laboratories.
When food contamination issues arise, contract laboratories can offer independent testing and analysis. Examples of food testing projects include extractables and leachables, chemical contamination, and packaging cross-contamination.
In this article, thermal characterization and testing are described as ways to evaluate and optimize the chemical and physical properties of ceramic and glass materials.
Confronting Food & Beverage Quality Failures with Analytical Chemistry
Chemir has helped many food and beverage manufacturers solve tough food quality issues. Read case studies illustrating solutions for contamination, off-flavors/colors/odors, toxic substances, migration/leaching and packaging failures.
