Use our expertise to drive your results

A good understanding of your market segment is vital to boosting your performance. Our Science & Technology (S&T) experts have years of experience in the use of mineral ingredients in Personal care products. In fact, many of our specialists have first-hand experience of your specific market and needs, having worked in the industry before joining our ranks.

Every year we perform hundreds of formulation studies and our Personal care team has in-depth knowledge of how our minerals interact in your applications. By matching exactly the right mineral to your requirements and optimizing parameters such as particle size, shape, packing, crystal micro-structure, colour, and hardness, we can meet your exact formulation requirements, saving you time and bringing added performance to your end products.

Our Applications laboratories are equipped with a full range of analytical and cosmetics-specific equipment, enabling us to spearhead new applications as well as providing you with bespoke formulation services and technical support.

Our S&T managers can also study your production processes to ensure the best use and handling of our minerals in your systems.

Since their inception over 25 years ago, our state-of-the-art Technology centres in Johns Creek, near Atlanta (USA) and Toulouse (France) have built up a solid reputation for helping our customers develop new formulations.
