How to build your own skincare brand

Creating your own skincare brand is a dream for many – but how do you actually go from idea to reality?

Labels, INCI and packaging

Creating a good formula is only half the job. Once the product is ready, you also need to know how to label, present and package it properly.

Consistency enhancers and thickeners

Jelly, cream or serum – what really determines the consistency of a cosmetic product?

Essential oils and safety

Essential oils (EO) are often used in natural skincare for their scent, function and therapeutic effect – but they are very potent and require respect.

From recipe to professional formula

Creating your own DIY recipes is a great way to explore natural skincare – but what do you do when you want to take the next step?

Equipment for manufacturing cosmetics

Making your own cosmetics at home is both creative and rewarding – but the right equipment makes the whole process much easier and safer.

Encapsulated ingredients & liposomes

Encapsulated ingredients and liposomes have become increasingly popular in skincare, and for good reason! They offer an effective method of delivering active ingredients deep into the skin, which can improve both product performance and long-term effects.

Foam and cleaning

What makes a cleaning product foam? The answer lies in surfactants! Surfactants are surface-active substances that can dissolve dirt and grease, and they are a crucial component in everything from shampoos and shower gels to facial cleansers and hand soaps.

Active ingredients

Active ingredients are the heart of effective cosmetic products. They are the ingredients that give the product its specific properties and results.

Color is an important part of cosmetics, both for appearance and sensory experience. Whether it's makeup, skincare or haircare products, color can make a big difference.

Natural preservatives in cosmetics

Preservatives protect cosmetic products from attack by bacteria, fungi and mold. This is especially important in products that contain water, as water is a breeding ground for microbial growth.
