Our Scientific Principles

Guided by Science. Driven by Evidence.

  • 01 Biology First

    Every solution begins with an understanding of the biology it is designed to address.

  • 02 Evidence Led

    Scientific evidence guides ingredient selection, formulation and development.

  • 03 Integrated by Design

    We consider interconnected biological dimensions rather than isolated pathways.

  • 04 Clinically Relevant

    Science is translated into solutions designed for meaningful clinical application.

  • 05 Built for Tomorrow

    We continuously explore emerging science to advance the future of dermatology.

Total Skin Biology™ in Action

Follicle Phase Nutrition™

Synchronizing Nutrition with Hair Biology.

Follicle Phase Nutrition™ extends beyond nutrient timing by aligning nutritional support with the biological requirements of the hair follicle during different phases of its growth cycle.

Proprietary Delivery Technology

Oral Mucosal Absorption Technology

Rethinking how actives are delivered.

Oral Mucosal Absorption Technology is Cosmofix’s proprietary orobuccal delivery platform designed to enable absorption of selected actives through the highly vascularised buccal mucosa.

By utilising the oral mucosal pathway, Oral Mucosal Absorption Technology is designed to facilitate systemic delivery while reducing dependence on conventional gastrointestinal absorption — creating new possibilities for actives where bioavailability and delivery efficiency matter.

  • Buccal Delivery

    Designed for absorption through the oral mucosa.

  • Systemic Access

    Utilises the rich vascular network of the buccal region.

  • Delivery Innovation

    An alternative approach for actives challenged by conventional oral delivery.

Buccal Absorption Technology: dosage form at the buccal mucosa entering the microvascular network and systemic circulation
