What is the biodegradability of your cosmetic formulation?

Our in silico biodegradability screening helps formulators optimize ingredient selection early in development, reducing reformulation efforts and supporting environmental performance targets.

Formula-level assessment

Applying an additivity-of-effects principle to the mass composition, our algorithm computes an estimated biodegradability percentage for the complete formula.

OECD data-driven predictions

Built on experimental OECD ready, inherent and simulation studies, the model leverages Read-Across and QSAR approaches to fill data gaps.

SSbD-friendly

Generate science-based biodegradability insights early in product development to support ingredient selection and sustainability decision-making.

Why screen biodegradability in silico?

From early R&D to environmental assessment, predictive biodegradability screening helps accelerate formulation development and guide ingredient selection.

Reduce costs and timelines

Prioritise the most promising formulations before laboratory testing. In silico screening helps reduce experimental workload, accelerate decision-making, and shorten development cycles.

Optimise your environmental profile

Identify the ingredients that drive biodegradability performance and explore reformulation scenarios before laboratory testing begins.

Support Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design strategies

Generate science-based biodegradability insights early in development to support ingredient selection and sustainability decision-making.

Biodegradability screening in practice

Compare products, benchmark formulations, and identify the ingredients that have the greatest influence on biodegradability performance.

No result, no invoice

In the rare cases where available data are insufficient to produce a scientifically defensible biodegradability assessment for a formula, we do not deliver a result — and we do not invoice the analysis.
