Had a blast at #scsformulate this week organised and hosted by the @scs_society loved the Wild West theme for the dinner last night! Now back to the lab to keep formulating! Great to be inspired after a great two days networking, learning about new cosmetic ingredients for some of our new projects! #cosmeticscience #cosmeticinnovation #networking #learning
Itโs been a busy week preparing some formula samples for some small scale consumer trials for one of our customers. All expertly filled and labelled by Kath Irving our supersonic multitasking bee ๐ We donโt know what we would do without you Kath! Always all hands on deck here at Global Cosmetic Developments Ltd #teamwork #cosmeticsamples #smallbatch #scaleup #bespoke #cosmeticformulation
We are having a busy September at GCD HQ. All these samples are ready to go out to our customers and a lot of them will be launched by the end of next year.

Happy Monday to all! I feel rested and ready for a really busy September after our summer shutdown in August. I enjoyed family time and also some special time with my Bracco Italiano Hank. We were also parents to Beagle Wilson who passed over the rainbow bridge nearly two years ago (which was gut-wrenching).
I have always been a massive dog lover, having been brought up with them since I was born. I am a huge animal lover in general, ever since I started formulating cosmetics #petcare has always interested me, I have been quite active in formulating Pet Care products recently, the demand for more sustainable and natural formulations is growing within this category, itโs great to see more and more ingredient suppliers launching ingredients aimed for pets, the demand for more innovative formulas isnโt just limited for pets but also for cattle and animals that compete such as horses, there is so much potential for innovation in this area and Global Cosmetic Developments Ltd is excited to be at the forefront of it.
Get in touch if you would like more information about how we can bring your new pet care concept to life!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of helping out at the CATALYST SCIENCE DISCOVERY CENTRE AND MUSEUM TRUST LIMITED for their Sun Protection Scientists Workshop. The UV Photo Booth was an eye opener in terms of how it can show you how well you have applied sunscreen, demonstrating the importance of application and how much you apply determines how well you are protecting yourself from UV rays. Well done to the team at the museum and to all the sponsors @symrise.ci @croda_beauty @thectpa @tancreamworld @thglabsbeauty @bootsuk Cosmetics Cluster Uk, Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance and us @global_cosmetic_developments the workshop is interactive and fun and hopefully helps inspire the next generation of Suncare scientists! It is running for two weeks so pop down to visit if you have a free morning or Afternoon with the kids!

The company shareholders came in for a board meeting to check in to see how we are doing ๐ด๏ธ๐. Being a small company is far from easy but I take pride in being a family run business, the work we do is personal and important no matter what type of customer you may be big or small and we aim to deliver the very best in cosmetic innovation into each of the formulations we develop and help bring to market . I hope that the work ethic I inherited from my family gets passed down to my little ones. I think it is amazing that they can come into work to see Mummy being a scientist! Hereโs to inspiring to the next generation of #cosmeticscientists and scientists in general, we need them! #familybusiness #cosmeticinnovation #personalcare #skincare #suncare #bodycare #haircare #intimatecare #petcare #womeninstem #nextgen

#Hair and #Scalpcare are evolving, over the last few years new product categories are emerging within the #haircare category due to the demand for more sustainable #shampoo and #conditioners which includes switching to more sustainable cleansing and conditioning agents or creating formulas that reduce the amount of water needed for cleansing, conditoning and hair styling, both in the manufacturing process and for general use.
Scalp care is now a whole new product category, its evolution is changing the way we look after our hair and scalp and is changing the traditional approach to cleansing, conditioning and hair styling.
Over the past few years we have been very involved in developing formulas within this category which has helped me learn about innovative approches to hair and scalp care, it is also refreshing to see quite a few suppliers bringing to market more natural alternatives to synthetic conditioning agents such as PQ10 and BTAC, they seem to have their challenges but do perform really well.
Often the science in haircare goes overlooked, it really isnโt easy and experience is essential to develop cutting edge formulations.
Get in touch to find out more about how we can support brands with developing bespoke formulations within these categories.
