Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens where science, curiosity and real-world problems meet. We are proud to share that Bonolo Hlaoli, Product Development Lead at Suave Designs Labs and Co-Founder of Luna Aesthetics, our Skin Research & Treatment Centre, will be presenting at the Coschem Supplier Day, Shark Tank Innovation Platform. Set within a programme that brings together global leaders in cosmetic science, from regenerative skin research to barrier repair technologies, this platform challenges innovators to translate science into solutions that matter. Bonolo represents a new generation of African cosmetic scientists, one that does not separate formulation from treatment, or innovation from impact. Her work is anchored in a clear philosophy: * Skin is not static * The barrier is central to function * Solutions must perform in real environments, not just on paper. At Suave Labs, this thinking comes to life through: - Evidence-driven formulation - Barrier-first product development - Real-world testing through clinical insight The Shark Tank stage is not just about pitching an idea, it’s about demonstrating how science can be applied, scaled and trusted. #coschem #societyofcosmeticchemists #personalcare #innovation #supplierday #chieta #suavedesignslabs
