ABOUT THE FORMULATOR
Oliver Trat
skilled. experienced. personal.
I'm a chemical engineer (Dipl.-Ing.) with solid professional experience in the most beautiful industry in the world. I fell in love with chemistry at a very early age.
After graduating, I chose to start my career in the cosmetics industry and went on to head the R&D departments of several German cosmetics manufacturers.
Over the years, I've developed countless formulations and brought many innovative concepts to life across a wide range of product categories for clients all over the world.
In 2021, I turned that experience into something of my own – starting out in just 65 square feet.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
2021
THE BEGINNING
My first lab of my own, just outside Nuremberg. 65 square feet, one idea – and the conviction that real development needs closeness: direct contact between client and formulator.
2022
NEW SPACE, MORE SUBSTANCE
We moved into a new facility, expanded our raw material storage, and began building our own formula portfolio – the foundation for everything that followed.
2024
OUR EQUIPMENT GROWS
We added our first fully automated filling machines, including one for mascara. The lab became a production site: we now fill everything ourselves, in-house.
2026
STEPPING INTO THE SPOTLIGHT – AND KEEP GROWING
Our first time exhibiting at CosmeticBusiness in Munich. New to our lineup: an automated hot-fill machine for stick formats.
Stick formats: foundation sticks · concealer · blush · contour · lip balms · lipsticks
And the next step is already set: expanding production to 6,500 square feet.
