CELLCOSMET’S FORMULATION PLEDGE

Cosmetic science at the heart of innovation

We are certified ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 22716 (cosmetics - good manufacturing practices (BPF)), ISO 14001 (environmental management systems) and SWISSCOS members (Association for the protection of the origin of Swiss cosmetics). We aim for excellence by creating products that combine efficiency, quality and safety, while reducing our environmental impact.


Science is at the center of our creation activities. We inspire the most recent discoveries in biology, dermatology, and chemistry to offer ever more efficient products. Our approach is based on two essential pillars:


  • The rigorous selection of the ingredients
  • The art of formulation

INGREDIENT SELECTION

Quality criteria

We analyse each ingredient according to its origin (natural, synthetic, biotechnological) and its methods of production (green chemistry, bioreactors). This means we can guarantee sustainable ingredients that respect the planet’s biodiversity and have minimal carbon footprints.

Efficacy criteria

We evaluate each ingredient’s proven effectiveness based on clinical studies and scientific literature. We tailor our use of ingredients according to their effectiveness on specific skin types to ensure the best results possible. For example, our Exfoliant Dual Action uses enzymes for sensitive skin and jojoba microbeads for normal skin.

Safety criteria

Our toxicologists evaluate each ingredient before it is even incorporated into a formula. We apply microbiological control standards inspired by the pharmaceutical industry. Our requirements: Silicone-free Alcohol-free Artificial colour-free Paraben-free Methylisothiazolinone-free (MI/MIT) Absolutely no microplastics

FORMULATION SCIENCE

Quality criteria

Each formula undergoes more than 100 tests to guarantee its stability, sensoriality and effectiveness. We strictly apply a threshold of 10 CFU (Colony Forming Units), a much more stringent standard than the 1000 CFU authorised in the cosmetics industry. We are also committed to attaining a minimum of 90% ingredients of natural origin, per the ISO 16128 standard, for each new product.

Efficacy criteria

Each formula is clinically tested by independent laboratories under dermatologist supervision. We also measure our products’ effectiveness on the skin microbiome and gather consumer feedback to guarantee satisfaction.

Safety criteria

From the very start of testing, our formulas are subjected to stringent toxicological evaluation. We perform dual toxicological analysis – internal and external, conducted by independent experts – to guarantee the safety of our products.
