Uniqema continues to draw attention to its series of personal care formulating contests – the aim is to encourage excellence in formulation creativity.

The first formulating contest was started in 1999 in Shanghai, China.

The spirit of the contest continues year by year, with Uniqema focusing on different market segments and widening its scope of involvement. During PCIA this year, Uniqema announced the start of the First Korea Formulating Contest, calling on personal care product developers to submit their best concepts for rinse-off and leave-in products.

Uniqema says it strives to meet its commitment to assist in developing new ideas in personal care and to providing solutions to current formulation challenges. The company is making available “enabling” ingredients which allow personal care product companies to move ahead with innovative product formulas addressing a large spectrum of consumer needs.
