After Berg+Schmidt presented its ‘Texture and Sensory Compass’ to the public for the first time in April, the tool will also be on the programme at CosmeticBusiness in Munich and Suppliers' Day in New York. Both trade fairs will take place at the beginning of June and will be focused entirely on the topic of texture and sensory for Berg+Schmidt.
The Texture and Sensory Compass has been publicly available on the website of the Hamburg-based cosmetic raw materials specialist since April and helps formulators to find the right formulation concepts and raw materials for their desired end product. The ‘Texture and Sensory Compass’ provides an overview of the different galenics from milk to lotion and cream to butter. These can also be characterised by their sensory properties.
‘When the ‘Texture and Sensory Compass’ was officially launched in mid-April, the tool was a resounding success with manufacturers. As customer expectations are constantly rising, formulators are faced with the challenge of creating ever newer and more exclusive textures. We want to make this task a little easier with the Compass,’ says Sabrina Paltian, Senior Application Technologist at Berg+Schmidt.
Due to the positive response, the Berg+Schmidt team has decided to make the ‘Texture and Sensory Compass’ the focus of the trade fair programme at New York Suppliers' Day (3 & 4 June) and at CosmeticBusiness in Munich (4 & 5 June). ‘Ultimately, the success of a product on the market also depends on its texture and sensory properties - which is why the Compass is a valuable tool for enhancing the value of the end product,’ explains Paltian.
