Product Development

 

CUSTOM FORMULATIONS

Our team of chemists and engineers develop reliable formulas for compliant, safe and efficient health, beauty & grooming products. All Spartan Brands products are formulated in our own labs and produced by us in our own facilities.

With decades of experience formulating and producing personal care products, we have complete ownership of the development process: product inception, lab formulation, custom fragrance development, consumer testing, and manufacturing. All of our formulas are original, created and tested by us, on real people — never on animals and always from scratch.

QUALITY R&D

Our Research and Development team partners with leading suppliers around the globe to stay informed on the latest technologies and new developments in ingredient innovations.

IN-HOUSE STABILITY/COMPATIBILITY TESTING

Stability testing is conducted to ensure that the product formulation and packaging is compatible so that the product remains stable throughout its shelf life.

Our process includes:

  • Exposure in accelerated conditions chambers

  • pH testing, specific gravity, viscosity, particulate matter

  • Antimicrobial effectiveness tests

  • Color, odor and appearance

  • Freeze/thaw cycles analysis

  • Weight change

PRODUCT SAFETY

We take the science of safety very seriously. We are committed to utilizing the best science and latest available research data to ensure the safety of our products before they are marketed. At Spartan Brands, safety is designed into the product formulation process. It is considered at every stage for every ingredient, every package, and every product.
