We offer tailor-made formulations for specific customer requests and for premium luxury products. The competence centre is specialised in developing surfactant blends for sulfate-free and anhydrous cleansing concepts. The various skills and excellent technical expertise make it the flagship of our Personal Care Division.

Emollients and emulsifiers are the heart of cosmetic preparations and influence stability, texture as well as skin feel. Our experts develop innovative products and formulations to help customers create the desired features of a cosmetic product and to meet ever-changing market requirements.
