“One of the main reasons we chose Cosmetri was the professional, friendly support we received right from the beginning in getting started with the software. Even though since then we’ve only needed to contact Cosmetri a couple of times, we have always received timely, helpful responses from the Cosmetri support team and appreciate having them on our side!“
Challenges
We wanted to move from Excel and begin using a professional software for cosmetics. It needed to be easy to use and affordable.
Complying with the cosmetics regulations, especially EC Regulation 1223/2009 was expensive and time-consuming for us.
Our processes and tools for managing production were inadequate – especially as our business has grown.
“When we had a new audit from the authorities, they were fascinated how a small company with a new software could make such great steps.”

Christian Nauta, CEO of Ginkel’s Cosmetica describes some of the key uses of Product Manager in their business
We are using the software daily for our production management, making our PIF, quality management and all the other basic steps that we need. Cosmetri software has evolved in the past few years and there are lots of possibilities which are new for us. We especially use the production management tools, raw materials management, safety data and all the documents that are required to generate the PIF.”
