Our Formulation Charter
Our Formulation Charter is rooted in creating skincare that nurtures, protects, and restores your skin's natural balance with chemically pure ingredients.​
​
Summary:
Innoeco Cosmetics operates as a specialised division within Innoeco Lab Solutions, a company founded by academic pharmacists with an unwavering commitment to advancing the pharmaceutical industry through innovative technology.
​
At the very core of our foundation lies 'The Pharmacist's Oath.' This sacred commitment, taken by pharmacists during their white coat ceremonies and upon graduation, fundamentally governs our every endeavour. For Innoeco Cosmetics, this Oath serves as the guiding principle for our bioethical standards, ensuring our pursuit of cosmetic excellence is always harmonized with profound scientific and moral responsibility.
The 'Pure' Philosophy
Chemically Pure and Pharmaceutically Pure
Chemically Pure Ingredients refer to a substance that contains only one type of element or compound, with a consistent chemical composition and characteristic properties. In chemistry, "pure" refers to a substance that is not mixed with any other substance to a significant degree, having a defined melting and boiling point. While 100% chemical purity is rarely achievable in practice, substances can reach very high levels of purity (e.g., 99.8% for reagent-grade chemicals). Impurities, even in small amounts, can alter a substance's properties. Examples include pure water (H2O), diamond, or pure table salt.
Pharmaceutically Pure Ingredients (often referred to as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, or APIs, and their excipients) denote a much more stringent level of purity and quality control, essential for substances used in medicines or cosmetics that interact with the human body. This goes beyond mere chemical composition to ensure:
Absence of Harmful Impurities: They are rigorously tested and certified to be free from contaminants (e.g., organic impurities from synthesis, inorganic impurities from manufacturing, residual solvents, microbiological contaminants) that could affect the product's safety, efficacy, or stability.
Compliance with Standards: They must meet strict regulatory guidelines and quality control measures set by pharmacopoeias (e.g., British Pharmacopoeia, United States Pharmacopoeia) and good manufacturing practices (GMP).
Consistent Potency and Stability: The purity ensures that the active ingredient delivers its intended therapeutic effect consistently and maintains its stability over time, as even minor impurities can alter chemical reactions within a formulation.
Purpose-Driven Quality: For APIs, they are the biologically active components responsible for the medicine's therapeutic effects, while excipients are inactive ingredients added to aid absorption, stability, or administration, all of which must meet pharmaceutical purity standards.
We prioritise the sourcing and integration of chemically pure and pharmaceutically pure ingredients, meticulously seeking the finest available globally. This deliberate choice ensures the foundational excellence of our cosmeceutical formulations. To uphold an uncompromising standard of batch consistency, purity, potency, and assured safety, we strategically limit our use of unspecified or unstandardized botanical extracts, which are known for their inherent compositional variability. Our focus remains on precision-engineered components, ensuring that every product we craft delivers a predictable and transformative experience.
