A Contamination-Free Process for Optimal Safety

For BOV aerosols and metered sprays, we offer a contamination-free filling process that ensures purity at every step. This cutting-edge technology preserves formula stability and packaging integrity—ideal for preservative-free products. It guarantees top-level quality and safety while maintaining the integrity of your formulations.

Emulpro: Patented Galenic Innovation for Maximum Tolerance

Emulpro is a next-generation, patented platform that stabilizes active ingredients while ensuring optimal tolerance for skin and mucosa in both healthcare and cosmetic applications. This natural, oil-in-water microgel emulsion uses fewer than 10 INCI ingredients and ultra-low surfactant levels (0.1–1%), offering a highly tolerable base. Perfect for dermatological, vaginal, and nasal solutions, it combines performance, safety, and sensoriality.

Dedicated Manufacturing Line for Clinical Batches

To support our partners in clinical development, Chemineau has opened a new GMP-compliant ultra-clean unit dedicated to R&D, pilot, and clinical batches (phases I, II, III). This versatile line handles a wide range of investigational drugs, including for rare diseases, in liquid to semi-solid forms, with highly active substances (OEB6) and a wide variety of primary packaging formats.

Beyond these new capabilities, we offer a comprehensive suite of services: regulatory support, formulation, method development and validation, ICH-compliant stability studies.
