With 50 years experience covering all aspects of cosmetic formulation, manufacture and related issues John Woodruff is able to offer the following professional services.  

Assistance with manufacturing problems  
 
Three decades of practical experience in cosmetic manufacture in facilities of all types and size can often prove useful for solving manufacturing problems. The laboratory is equipped with many different types of mixer to mirror those in use in the factory.  
 
Assistance with European legislative issues 
 
Legislation restricts the use of antiperspirant actives, preservatives, sun filters and dyestuffs to positive lists known as Annexes and it also restricts the areas of application and the level used. These and many other issues may be addressed and the use of a large computer database helps maintain a cost-effective service. 
 
Preparation of Product Information Packages  
 
Product Information Packages 'PIPs' are a necessity for all companies wishing to market cosmetic products in Europe. Creative Developments has produced a computer program that dramatically reduces the time, and therefore the cost, of producing these vital documents.
