Control the Development and Launch of Cutting-Edge Cosmetics Products
The beauty consumer landscape offers rapid growth opportunities for cosmetics manufacturers–and real-time demands on existing cosmetic product development processes in order to expand into new product categories.
Ramping up launch timelines means:
- Reformulating existing products with fewer and more natural ingredients.
- Adapting product design to bring hybrid, unisex and multi-use products to global markets faster.
- Managing an interconnected web of global regulatory certifications and claims.
- Automating the feedback loop between Innovation, Marketing, R&D, Quality and Regulatory groups.
- Adjusting Innovation priorities as consumer beauty technology and preferences change buying behavior.
Selerant’s Devex PLM system offers Cosmetics brands and manufacturers a single-truth platform for managing these many internal process changes in one place, bringing greater control, transparency, and oversight into Cosmetics product development and launch so you can innovate and get competitive products to market faster.

Benefits
Rapidly Expand Beauty Product Portfolios
Increase the speed of innovation for new product categories and markets by eliminating data redundancies and process bottlenecks and increasing enterprise collaboration capabilities.
Ensure Quality Standards Across Global Markets
With standardized PLM processes in place, you’ll ensure that quality levels are met even as formulations changes for new markets and gain global visibility into non-conformance issues.
Meet Fit to Purpose Regulatory Claims
Reach new markets with deep visibility into how formulation design and production processes impact country-specific product claims, such as anti-aging, silicon-free and more. Connect calculations to labeling, packaging, and marketing activities to create accurate, transparency product claims that reflect internal procedures.
Consolidate Application Use & Cost
Instead of using many disparate applications, points-solutions or spreadsheets typically leveraged to manage product development between many working groups, teams can use one solution. Integrations with core systems like ERP enable you to consolidate applications and IT maintenance, integration and support costs, and easily pipe product data to other downstream systems.
