FORMULA EVALUATION

Performance starts with what is in the jar.

Samples are assessed through texture, application and finished-product performance before a direction moves forward.

START WITH THE NEED

Develop around what the hair, scalp or stylist needs.

Products should work as part of a wider routine. KOBO connects formula performance, application, texture and finish across the complete product system.

FORMAT AS INNOVATION

Sometimes the difference is how the product is delivered.

A distinctive format can improve dosage, portability, application and product experience. Feasibility depends on the formula, packaging, production volume and destination market.
