Transforming Cosmetic & Personal Care Innovation from Concept to Replenishment with Centric PLM

Introduction
The cosmetics and personal care industry is ever evolving. Innovation isn’t just about what’s inside the bottle—it’s about how quickly and confidently you can bring new products to market. You know that identifying trends and aligning teams is complex. Also, trying to meet regulatory compliance or sourcing ingredients is data-intensive. The path from concept to launch isn’t always smooth.
Discover how Centric Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) streamlines this journey, enabling brands to move faster, make smarter decisions and stay ahead in a competitive market.
Overcoming Today’s Product Innovation Challenges
Regulatory Complexity in Global Markets
Navigating global regulations is a top challenge in cosmetics innovation. Brands must make informed data-driven decisions on ingredient safety, labeling, packaging and product claims. And they must do so across various regions like the EU, U.S. and Asia, all with different needs. This requires managing vast volumes of data related to formulation, testing, traceability and documentation. Centralizing data creates accuracy and consistency. And you need to be able to collaborate with suppliers to monitor compliance and reduce risk.
Sustainability Demands
Consumers continue to demand sustainable products and absolute transparency from brands. Meeting these expectations means sourcing certified eco-friendly ingredients—a process that can be slowed by disconnected data and siloed supplier information. Without centralized visibility, teams struggle to evaluate options and make timely decisions. The solution to streamlining sustainability efforts? Fast access to certification data and clear collaboration across the supply chain.
Speed to Market in a Trend-Driven Industry
In a fast-moving industry driven by trends, speed is critical. Disconnected data and fragmented processes delay decision-making whether it’s approving formulations or validating claims. Teams need real-time visibility into ingredients, compliance and sourcing readiness to move efficiently.
To accelerate time-to-market, teams need:
- Unified collaboration
- Quick access to reliable data
- Confident decisions at every stage of development
