Wishing you all Season’s Greetings!
2021 was an incredibly challenging year, and 2022 will certainly be a new year full of possibilities.

We'd therefore like to take this opportunity to thank you for your trust and continued partnership.

Achieving Carbon Neutrality – 2025 Objective
As a group of companies that work to safeguard the environment through many of our testing activities, considering our impact on the environment is a priority, as is a commitment to sustainable operations.
Reducing the world's carbon footprint is a challenge facing us all; we need to contribute to a sustainable, healthy environment and be socially and environmentally responsible.
In 2020, we announced the ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2025, through a careful programme of CO2 emission reduction and carbon offsetting.
We have since implemented several CO2 reduction projects, and local programmes have been launched in our laboratories with the goal of improving sustainability and reducing our CO2 emissions. In cases where we are unable to reduce our carbon footprint in certain areas, we have found ways to offset this and continue towards our goal.
As an organisation, embedding corporate sustainability principles in our business strategy and the way we operate is an essential component in both creating long-term value and achieving our overall mission of contributing to a healthier and safer world.
Decrypting CBD Formulation Considerations
Cosmetic products containing hemp derivatives and particularly one of its components, CBD, are currently a major trend.
To formulate cosmetic products such as body butters, balms, emulsions or salves, or any other formulation containing CBD, it’s essential to take several parameters into consideration, including but not limited to solubility in vegetable oils, selection of appropriate emulsion stabiliser, and the addition of some essential oils.
The effects and synergies of compounds in the formula, together with cannabinoids, are important to achieve the desired outcome. Eurofins is your key partner in understanding your CBD cosmetic formulation projects and ensuring the best combinations to enhance the effects of CBD.
Moreover, Eurofins will support with testing the final CBD-containing product to ensure accuracy and agreement with the labelled value.
