innovation

Modern urban societies generate stress. Unbalanced diet, degradation of the environment, pollution and anxiety are all at the basis of new requirements for mankind. Today new products, which fulfil these needs, are appearing regularly.

Imagine the products of tomorrow

All the known and recognised scientific theories in the development of a formula, are not enough to create a good product. Only the experience, skill and sensitivity of the creator of the formula can give it a soul.
He is the architect, the one who selects the active ingredients for their effectiveness, the excipient ingredients for their feel, texture, fluidity, and lightness, the different flavours for their taste, the perfumes for their smell and their lingering aromas.

formulation

Mergens SA has access to several pharmaceutical licences designed to treat lack of fitness and skin lesions. These licences are gradually being reworked to provide original cosmetic applications and to develop new products.

Formulas are slowly developed taking into account the sensory characteristics and the various technical parameters, which need to be respected. In cosmetics the galenic form is not only the first point of contact with the skin but also the carrier of the active ingredients of the product and thus it plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of the treatment.

manufacture

Mergens SA can establish the manufacture of its products not only in Switzerland but also in Europe, the USA and in Asia.

The combination of Swiss research and the effectiveness of up to date industrial techniques give this company a depth and uniqueness, thus allowing it to set its pricing structure within a very competitive market.

Developing its own brands, whilst retaining control of its formulas allows it to remain independent of a manufacturer.

Laboratoire Mergens SA collaborates as a partner with its manufacturers, service providers and project realisation providers. Thus the company has at its disposal trial and development laboratories, which ensure autonomy in the creation of its products.

Clinical expertise

Validation of the claimed effects by means
of clinical expertise

To provide the product with the scientific credibility that it deserves, to support your marketing, to help you stand out amongst your competitors, Mergens SA lends its assistance in the choice of clinical studies, to be undertaken by independent companies and, subject to specific requirements, validated by a clinical expert. Mergens SA draws up, on behalf of its clients, the technical dossier required prior to the launch of its products on the European market and lends its support in the technical areas necessary for wider export, thus ensuring its consumers the scientific information, the legal requirements and the safety of the products.

MERGENS SA collaborates with physico-chemical analysis laboratories and sensory and technical evaluation laboratories with consumer panels.
