Research & Development and Technical Services
R&D is the work that protects a product before and after it reaches the shelf. Our scientists cover formulation problem solving and stability and quality support.
Technical services that removes risk from your launch
A product that looks right on day one but separates, discolours or loses efficacy months later damages a brand and its reputation. Our scientists support the testing and technical work that confirms a formula performs and holds up over its shelf life, so you launch with confidence.

Cosmetic R&D, explained
What does cosmetic R&D involve?
Cosmetic research and development involves developing and refining formulations, solving stability and performance problems and supporting the testing that confirms a product is safe, effective and consistent over its shelf life. Ausmetix provides these technical services alongside formulation and manufacturing.
Do you help with cosmetic regulations in Australia?
Ausmetix provides regulatory groundwork and guidance for cosmetics sold in Australia, including considerations under AICIS, the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme.
What is stability testing and why does it matter?
Stability testing checks that a cosmetic product stays safe, effective and unchanged in appearance, texture and performance across its intended shelf life and storage conditions. It matters because a product that fails over time damages customer trust and can create compliance problems.
Can you fix a formula that keeps failing?
Yes. Formulation problem solving is a core part of our R&D service. Our scientists diagnose why a formula is failing — whether it is separating, discolouring or underperforming — and develop a fix.
