Our application technology galenic
Independent galenic application technology for the cosmetics industry has been our task for 50 years. Within the scope of galenics, we develop new, individually tailored formulations for any kind of cosmetics for skin care and hair care especially also sun protection products as well as natural cosmetics.
Our services include consultation for ingredients and formulations, scale-up of formulations in pilot plants and even safety assessments. Additionally, research projects are carried out on problems that go beyond day-to-day development work.
Ready to Market Formulas According to Valid Guidelines
In the field of application technology, the "Consulting Galenics" department has been developing new, individually tailored formulations for the cosmetics industry on a scientifically proven basis for 50 years. Our customers include medium-sized companies and trading houses as well as multinational corporations.
In galenics, we develop market-ready formulations for the entire range of cosmetic applications, taking into account the national guidelines as amended.
Our customers receive all services from a single source, from formulation development (galenics), through efficacy and compatibility testing, consumer testing and stability testing, to scale-up using Becomix technology.
Likewise, the task of the "Application Technology Galenics" department is the constant search for new high-performance and well-tolerated raw materials. For new raw materials, we offer application-engineering studies that lead to a suitable application profile in the finished product by establishing dose/efficacy relationships.
Consultation for your cosmetics
We offer sound technical application advice on existing products and series in order to be able to respond promptly to changes in legal requirements or consumer behavior.
Thus, we are able to make recommendations regarding the replacement of critical or no longer available ingredients.
If products do not show the expected results in compatibility or efficacy tests, Institut Dr. Schrader can provide assistance in finding the cause and offer solutions for optimized product performance.
Safety assessment / safety report
We offer the preparation of safety assessments, taking into account the latest regulatory requirements. Benefit from our more than 50 years of experience and our activities in the fields of research, consulting, testing and analysis. For many years, we have been preparing safety assessments for all common cosmetics: from shampoo to foot cream. Our safety assessor is a PhD chemist with many years of experience in the field of cosmetics. The following contents were part of the extensive additional training:
Exposure of cosmetic products / Percutaneous penetration.
Local tolerance, immunology and sensitization
Metabolism, kinetics and structure-activity relationships
Carcinogenesis and mutagenesis
General and systemic toxicology including risk assessment
Reproductive toxicology
Microbiological product safety of cosmetic products
In order to prepare a safety assessment, we require numerous documents. If not all toxicological data are available, we can complete the documentation in individual cases by means of database research. If product series with similar formulations are involved, inexpensive package solutions can also be offered. For this purpose, a preliminary examination of the formulations may have to be carried out.
Cosmetics for you
Another focus is the elaboration of sunscreen formulations.
Natural cosmetic product lines are created according to the latest guidelines – also in conformance with natural cosmetic quality labels if so desired.
In addition to the elaboration of products, we also carry out revisions and updates of existing products and series to meet changed legal requirements or changing consumer behavior.
For cosmetic products, we offer the preparation of a safety assessment in accordance with current legal requirements.
By the way: With us, the individually created formulation becomes the property of the customer – and each customer goes to market with a new and unique formulation.
