Next-gen product reformulation strategy

The process of re-creating and improving on an existing formula is reformulation. Reformulation is often used to re-create an existing formula, improve upon an existing product, or recover a previously lost formulation.

Deformulation is the first step in reformulating a product, which allows our expert scientists to identify and quantify the components within an existing formulation. Next, Element’s scientists develop a new, improved formulation, determining which components will result in an optimal final formulation that meets desired performance characteristics. Following that, our staff will work with you step by step to perfect your formulation to ensure satisfaction with the final product. Element’s team of expert formulators stay up to date on the newest innovations and can develop new reformulations of existing products to balance performance, reduce production and manufacturing costs and prioritize environmental safety.
