The Hidden Process of Formulating Premium Skincare
Crafting a high-quality skincare product is a complex process, often hidden from the consumer's view. Over the years, I've immersed myself in brand trainings and lab visits, delving deep into the intricacies of effective product formulation.
Contrary to popular belief, there's no such thing as a "magical ingredient" that can reverse signs of aging overnight. Quick-fix products often fall short in the long term, while well-formulated ones demonstrate results with consistent use, much like maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
During my studies in advanced cosmetic science, I learned the importance of selecting high-quality versions of each ingredient and employing effective yet gentle preservatives. Selecting preservatives can be challenging. It's crucial to choose broad-spectrum options suitable for different weather conditions to ensure products remain safe to use for a minimum period of time.
However, while it may be tempting to overload on preservatives to prevent contamination, excessive use can irritate the skin and compromise product integrity. Therefore, seeking a balance between effective yet gentle ingredients is key to making an outstanding product. And that’s something customers can't see just from reading the label.
Additionally, choosing a clean, safe manufacturing facility is essential to maintain product quality. Labs with Good Manufacturing Practice Certification are a plus, as this certification guarantees top-notch quality, cleanliness, and safety. From staff training to equipment maintenance and regular testing, they uphold stringent standards to deliver products of the highest caliber while minimizing reliance on preservatives.
At Lendava, I believe in products that focus on long-term skin health rather than quick fixes, where active ingredients are chosen based on proven efficacy and beneficial percentages, and preservatives are selected based on the ideal balance that ensures safety without compromising quality.
