Development Scenarios
Three quantified beauty development case studies: a barrier serum, a refill format and a pharmacy private-label range.
Illustrative scenarios
Three briefs, three different problems
Anonymised briefs drawn from the decisions that recur in real development work — from a single formula to a retailer-ready range. No client is named and no project is presented as a client case.
A fragrance-free barrier serum
A clinical-skincare team needed a fragrance-free barrier serum with a claim that would survive a pharmacy technical review.
A refill-format body wash
A refill-format body wash whose first packaging choice quietly doubled landed cost and broke the recyclability claim.
A private-label range
A regional pharmacy group building a private-label range from zero, with a fixed launch window and a strict supplier audit.
These are written from the judgement calls that recur in real development work, then stripped of every identifying detail: no client names, no quotations, no certifications and no reported results. The figures are worked examples that show how a decision is costed, not outcomes from a named project.
How to read a scenario
Each one starts from a question we are regularly asked, then follows the three decisions that actually move a launch: what the formula can support, what the pack will cost at the intended volume, and what the technical file has to evidence. The figures are worked examples, not reported results, and no client names, quotations or outcomes are invented.
If you want the practical version rather than the narrative, the UK launch readiness checklist sets out the 24 gate checks, and our process shows who owns each decision and when. The commercial routes behind the three briefs are described under ODM, OEM and OBM.
Questions we are asked
Are these real client projects?
No. They are anonymised briefs written from questions that recur in real development work, not named client cases. No client names, quotations, certifications or reported results appear on this site.
Why publish scenarios instead of case studies?
We will not present an unnamed project as a named client case. Until a client gives written permission to publish a project, a clearly labelled scenario is the honest way to show our reasoning.
Can I see the evidence behind your quality claims?
Yes, at the point it is relevant to your project. Quality and standards explains what we supply, what our partners evidence and what we deliberately do not claim.
