From napkin sketch to shelf-ready brilliance, powered by a decade of specialist know-how


1. Brand-First, Lab-Tight Philosophy

  1. Story over spec sheets — we begin with the feeling your customer should get, not a surfactant percentage.
  2. IP stays in our lab — exclusive licences give you uniqueness and speed while we protect and refine the core chemistry.
  3. Flex every step — pilot lots from 300 L scale seamlessly to 6 000 L without changing facilities.
