Product Development Process

Columbia Cosmetics specializes in Research and Development and Custom Formulation.
We can provide guidance and expertise in order to get the formulation that fits your business needs.

Fully understand the intended characteristics and specifications of the product. This allows you and our formulation scientists to define the project’s potential challenges, time-frame to completion, and costs associated.

2. Formulation Development

Our team of skilled formulation chemists will go to work developing a unique and innovative formulation based on your exact technical specifications.

3. Review & Comment on Prototypes

Sample batches will be sent for your review. Product’s formulation will then be finalized based on your input.

4. Additional Support

Shelf life analysis, packaging selection and compatibility, regulatory assistance, marketing claims validation, etc.

5. Technology Transfer & Scale-
up

During the new formulation development process our laboratory will produce trial batches for you to sample. When your new product is finalized, we will transfer the complete formulation to our manufacturing department.
