These things used to exist when I first started in the cosmetics industry but alas, the GFC, KFC and GDP means that the great laboratory of future opportunity is but a distant memory. Today it’s all about the dollar as we strive to make our innovations work IMMEDIATELY! Oh what a bore…..
Anyway, I just thought that it was worth saying that I now have my very own blue sky laboratory that is up and working on lots of exciting future innovations. Some of that work involves a spatula while other’s is more about doing a lot of reading, interviewing and investigationing in order to sort the wheat from the chaff. All very cool and VERY interesting.
So, if you have a ‘blue sky’ concept for the cosmetics industry and want to talk to someone whose motto is ‘the sky is the limit’ then give us a call. Anything is possible, eventually…………
Examples of current research for those of you who like to roll that way:
* The rise of the Halal Cosmetics Market.
* Nanotechnology and the cosmetics industry
* Sustainability and natural/ organic certification.
* Natural fragrance development and application.
PS: I am going to add a page to the blog and will eventually have a website up for the lab once I get a moment.
PPS: Work comes out of the blue sky labs in a number of ways including via workshops and lectures, presentations posters or booklets, in-house development work and surveys or via a forum.
