An outstanding tool for cosmetic formulators and manufacturers

An outstanding tool for cosmetic formulators and manufacturers

Pros

Cosmetri allows me to collate all of my formulation, ingredient, and compliance information in one location which can be accessed readily. It has become an indispensable tool in my work. Cosmetri allows me to remain highly organized and ensure that I am meeting compliance requirements.

Cons

There is a short learning curve for use of the software - this is to be expected and is not a criticism.

This is a big step for our company

June 9th, 2020 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

This is a big step for our company as we have outgrown our old archaic method of generating formulas in Microsoft Excel and using non-industry specific manufacturing software.

Pros

I've been amazed about how quickly I can enter formulas in to cosmetri. It all just makes sense!

We use every function of Cosmetri, and this software is at the heart of our business

June 4th, 2020 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

We started our business three years ago and began using Cosmetri immediately. I was so happy that we found a software that covered all our needs. From formulation planning, PIF generation to safety data analyses and calculations (SEM, MoS etc).

Pros

Without this powerful tool it would have been impossible to fulfill all the compliance and regulation tasks in reasonable time. Nowadays, we use every function of Cosmetri, and this software is at the heart of our business. Last month we realized our ISO:22716 certification. Cosmetri and all the documentation provided was a real big help.

cosmetri is superior to all of them

June 4th, 2020 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

What I love about cosmetri is how easy it makes R&D work. I can easily create stability testing programmes and manage multiple formulations. It basically does the work of one employee.

Pros

Having used other similar R&D software, cosmetri is superior to all of them due to its high functionality and ease of managing large amounts of data.

Its ease of use in and around batch management

May 28th, 2020 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

Cosmetri is without doubt the most comprehensive and user friendly compliance software for our industry. We used it to obtain and maintain our GMP ISO22716. From the management of raw materials to final batch protocols the system just delivers. We are now looking at implementing the GMP module to Manage the full scope of our certification.

Pros

Its ease of use in and around batch management.

Cons

I still have to run an MRP system that has a high level of duplication across the two. If cosmetri could raise a purchase order then allow me to receipt those materials in i could remove 70% of my duplication.

A all in one software solution to make sure you and your company comply

May 27th, 2020 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

A all in one software solution to make sure you and your company comply with the newest current ISO22716 Cosmetic GMP.

Pros

Being a small company I don't have the benefit of having a large organization with alot of knowledge and know how. Cosmetri GMP makes it possible for us as a small company to comply in an easy way, and to be confident that our products stay within current required regulation.

Cons

As a creative I hate numbers in general. But if I didn't have Cosmetri GMP it would take me 3-4 times as much admin time to make sure I comply. But the feature where the software constantly looks over your ingredients to make sure you stay compliant is ingenious. It makes sure I sleep well at night!

It makes the whole process of developing a product incredibly easy

May 27th, 2020 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

This is an amazing software that makes it easy to setup your formulas, PIF and make sure that your formulas stay compliant with the Current regulatory. You will get notifications if it don’t! Giving you security and the confidence you need when your “babies” leave your house!

Pros

It makes the whole process of developing a product incredibly easy. No need for papers. All is conducted inside Cosmetri. It is a walk through from product formulating to finished product. Evaluations of current packaging and a powerful tool to make your team work tidy and towards the main goal.

Cons

At the moment I have no bad experiences with Cosmetri. I am not a cosmetic chemist, but with this software and with the help from my Safety Assessor I have all I need to streamline a product line.
