We carry out validation tests on bulk and components, prepare the formulation for micro testing, and cover regulatory compliance and registration.

Once launched we continue to offer full technical support, and with all Intellectual Property owned by you, we can help you transfer manufacturing to the partner best suited to the size of your business.
We collaborate with established brands on trend analysis and portfolio strategy, and with investors on scouting and due diligence.
Consciously Created Beauty
At SMINK, we create environmentally sound solutions that support the full life cycle of the product, from sustainability to bio-degradability.
We choose materials based on what is best for skin and best for planet, without compromising on luxurious textures or delivery of outstanding clinical results.
To truly minimize waste, we aim to create formulations that people use until the last drop, increasing the probability that the component can be successfully recycled and driving consumer retention.
To do this, we believe every product should have a reason to be, both in their efficacy and their ecological footprint; the products we create are a reflection of that commitment.
