Barbara Olioso

Consultancy

With such wide experience at the sharp end of cosmetic production, I am particularly well-qualified to help with the hard yards between an idea and its launch:

Concept Development

Turning the idea into a unique concept, for salon or consumer, defined by points of real difference and a distinctive market positioning.

Formulation

Combining a chemist’s grasp of raw materials, stabilisers and fragrances with a researcher’s understanding of the marketplace and testing programmes.

Sourcing

Finding reliable supplies of key materials, together with cost-effective outsourcing of manufacturing.

Packaging

Advising on packaging, briefing designers, checking on the text and ingredients listing for compliance with regulations.
