COSMETICS & PERSONAL CARE
Hsinchu, Taiwan · More than 20 years of R&D experience · ISO 22716 certified plants
Integrated skincare solutions, from ingredient to finished product.
ImDerma Laboratories works from dermal science and analytic science toward integrated skincare solutions that span innovative ingredient development through to finished product manufacture. ImDerma Laboratories provides integrated skincare solutions covering cosmetic ingredient development, testing, formulation and finished-product manufacturing
ImDerma operates five laboratories and ISO 22716-certified cosmetic manufacturing facilities supporting ingredient and product development, testing and production The R&D team spans chemistry, biochemistry, cosmetics, pharmacy, microbiology, biomedical materials and biotechnology, publishing in international journals and holding close to nearly 20 patents across the EU, US, Taiwan, China and Japan.
- Cosmetics & Personal Care
Over 400 mineral salts and more than 7,000 specifications. The specification count is the more meaningful number: it is the measure of how far a grade can be tailored.
ABOUT THIS PRINCIPAL
An ingredient developer that also manufactures the product.
ImDerma's structure is unusual. Ingredient development, efficacy testing, safety assessment, microbiology, regulatory support and finished product manufacture all sit inside the same organisation, across five laboratories and a set of ISO 22716 certified plants. A brand can therefore commission a custom active, have its efficacy substantiated, and have the finished product manufactured without moving between three suppliers and reconciling three sets of data.
The scientific base is dermal and analytic science, with a research team drawn from chemistry, biochemistry, cosmetics, pharmacy, microbiology, biomedical materials and biotechnology. The group publishes in international journals and holds close to twenty patents across five jurisdictions.
Natural raw material handling is supported by a dedicated green-extraction factory at Yilan, alongside the Hsinchu headquarters and manufacturing centre, a Taipei office, and international offices in the United States, the Netherlands and China.
Customised ingredient development is only useful if the efficacy testing, the safety assessment and the INCI work come with it. ImDerma supplies all four from one house.
ADCHEM works with ImDerma on both ingredient supply and custom development projects, using our own formulation laboratories to bridge between an ImDerma active and the finished formats a brand needs it in.
FEATURED TECHNOLOGY
Four capabilities behind the offer.
The value sits in the integration of development, testing and manufacture rather than in a single platform.
SCIENCE BASE
Dermal and analytic science
Ingredient development grounded in dermal science with analytical capability attached, so mechanism and measurement are developed together rather than sequentially.
ACTIVE PLATFORM
Peptide X Series
The company's peptide-based active ingredient line, developed for targeted cosmetic applications including skin brightening, antioxidant and hydration concepts, depending on the grade.
TESTING
Five in-house laboratories
Efficacy, safety, formulation and microbiological testing capabilities supported by ImDerma's five laboratories, including ISO 11930-related microbiological testing.
MANUFACTURE
Private label production
ISO 22716 certified plants supporting full private-label manufacture from raw material through to finished product, with a dedicated green-extraction facility for natural inputs.

WORKING WITH ADCHEM
What ADCHEM adds to the ImDerma relationship.
SCOPED DEVELOPMENT
Custom active development, brokered properly
Commissioning an exclusive active needs a clear brief, a claim target and an exit specification. We define those with you before development starts.
FORMULATION INTEGRATION
Integration into your existing chassis
An active developed in isolation still has to work in your formula. Our laboratories run that integration before the material is scaled.
CLAIM-READY
Claim and compliance review
Efficacy and safety data reviewed against the claim you intend to make and the regulatory framework of the market you intend to sell in
