Report: 2023 Technologists’ Needs Study, CosmetoSAFE Consulting
After a decade of working in the cosmetics industry, we decided to focus on the needs of technologists and the challenges faced by R&D departments. Check out the results of our report!
The Biggest Challenges for Technologists in Their Professional Activities
-
Disrupted supply chains
-
Keeping up with legislative changes – ingredient regulations
-
Adapting to changing trends
-
Keeping up with legislative changes – packaging regulations
-
Adjusting product concepts to meet sustainable chemical approach requirements
Challenges Faced by R&D Departments:
- Searching for raw material substitutes on an “urgent” basis.
- Disrupted supply chain for raw materials: availability and price volatility hinder production cost forecasting.
- Short transitional periods for ingredient regulation changes, leaving insufficient time to develop stable formulations.
- Lack of a unified, clear database and timely legislative updates.
“Working with cosmetic technologists for over 10 years—creating cosmetic safety assessment reports—we largely work with the same data (documents). We see the problems they encounter daily. Based on these experiences, we created CosmetoSAFE Assist—an intuitive tool designed to simplify the daily tasks of cosmetic R&D teams,”
summarizes Iwona Białas.
