Tailored Scientific Solutions for Food, Cosmetics & Health

Innovation in cosmetics and OTC products is a journey. Stability, efficacy, and regulatory compliance are constant challenges — but they don’t have to be roadblocks.

  • Can’t figure out why your pharmacological shampoo isn’t stable?

  • Not sure if your cosmetic formulation truly outperforms competitors?

  • Is your OTC product losing functionality over time, impacting shelf life?

  • Want to replace toxic ingredients but unsure where to start?

  • Could your process technology be degrading bioactivity?

At Plinius Labs, we don’t just analyse—we solve problems. Our expertise transforms raw data into application-driven solutions, helping you to:

  • Identify root causes of instability and performance decline

  • Benchmark your formula scientifically for proven superiority

  • Enhance product specs without regulatory setbacks

  • Ensure targeted functionality through advanced quality assessments

  • Reduce risks of unintended component release

For most customers the chemical analysis of their products is a means not and end. Plinius Labs’ scientists understand that the target of all quality and product research should be to generate actionable information to move forward. This is especially valid in product R&D and Quality Control for companies in health, cosmetics and nutrition, areas in which we have specific expertise.

We understand that a suggestion for a new ingredient, a chemical analysis or an observation of a quality issue in one of their products is just the beginning, not the end. Our task is digesting research data and reports to finally produce actionable information, generate new approaches, create better products. As so, Plinius Labs research, develop, assess quality and finally help companies in consumer care, cosmetics, and food & beverages to enter the era of sustainability… our field of expertise.

Plinius Labs goes beyond routine analysis—we uncover the molecular mechanisms behind product transformations. Whether it's shifts in pH, color, flavour, stability, or active compound degradation, we systematically investigate changes under various conditions to pinpoint root causes and optimize formulations. With our dedicated lab facilities, our approach is tailored to each project, ensuring science-driven solutions that enhance efficacy, safety, and sustainability.

At Plinius Labs, we don’t just provide data—we deliver actionable insights. As an independent and agile partner, we translate research into real-world innovations, always with a collaborative and confidential approach.
