Sun Protection Products
Since the first modern sunscreen “delial ointment” was introduced in 1933, this type of product has been continually advanced and adapted to consumer needs.
New certified raw materials for your innovative products – also for the high demands of natural cosmetics.
Individually tailored formulations on a scientifically proven basis according to European and international guidelines.
From laboratory scale to the pilot plant of the technical centre to the first production approach for safe formulations.
An important instrument of preventive consumer health protection. Safe products for safe use.
Independent galenic application technology for the cosmetics industry has been our task for 50 years. Within the scope of galenics, we develop new, individually tailored formulations for any kind of cosmetics for skin care and hair care – especially also sun protection products as well as natural cosmetics.
Our services include consultation for ingredients and formulations, scale-up of formulations in pilot plants and even safety assessments. Additionally, research projects are carried out in Institut Dr. Schrader Beratungslabor on problems that go beyond day-to-day development work.
In the field of application technology, the "Consulting Galenics" department has been developing new, individually tailored formulations for the cosmetics industry on a scientifically proven basis for 50 years. Our customers include medium-sized companies and trading houses as well as multinational corporations.
In galenics, we develop market-ready formulations for the entire range of cosmetic applications, taking into account the national guidelines as amended.
Our customers receive all services from a single source, from formulation development (galenics), through efficacy and compatibility testing, consumer testing and stability testing, to scale-up using Becomix technology.
Likewise, the task of the "Application Technology Galenics" department is the constant search for new high-performance and well-tolerated raw materials. For new raw materials, we offer application-engineering studies that lead to a suitable application profile in the finished product by establishing dose/efficacy relationships.
We offer sound technical application advice on existing products and series in order to be able to respond promptly to changes in legal requirements or consumer behavior.
Thus, we are able to make recommendations regarding the replacement of critical or no longer available ingredients.
If products do not show the expected results in compatibility or efficacy tests, Institut Dr. Schrader can provide assistance in finding the cause and offer solutions for optimized product performance.
We offer the preparation of safety assessments, taking into account the latest regulatory requirements. Benefit from our more than 50 years of experience and our activities in the fields of research, consulting, testing and analysis.
For many years, we have been preparing safety assessments for all common cosmetics: from shampoo to foot cream.
Our safety assessor is a PhD chemist with many years of experience in the field of cosmetics. The following contents were part of the extensive additional training:
Exposure of cosmetic products / Percutaneous penetration.
Local tolerance, immunology and sensitization
Metabolism, kinetics and structure-activity relationships
Carcinogenesis and mutagenesis
General and systemic toxicology including risk assessment
Reproductive toxicology
Microbiological product safety of cosmetic products
In order to prepare a safety assessment, we require numerous documents. If not all toxicological data are available, we can complete the documentation in individual cases by means of database research.
If product series with similar formulations are involved, inexpensive package solutions can also be offered. For this purpose, a preliminary examination of the formulations may have to be carried out.
Another area of activity of “Application Technology Galenics” involves the internal provision of standardized test references for efficacy and compatibility tests in the skin and hair care sector. Depending on customer-specific questions, these references can be adapted to the product form and the intended advertising message. As a further service, Institut Dr. Schrader offers the refilling including blinding and labeling of cosmetic test samples for consumer tests.
Another focus is the elaboration of sunscreen formulations.
Natural cosmetic product lines are created according to the latest guidelines – also in conformance with natural cosmetic quality labels if so desired.
In addition to the elaboration of products, we also carry out revisions and updates of existing products and series to meet changed legal requirements or changing consumer behavior.
For cosmetic products, we offer the preparation of a safety assessment in accordance with current legal requirements.
By the way: With us, the individually created formulation becomes the property of the customer – and each customer goes to market with a new and unique formulation.
