Mokosh research & development laboratory and production
Our laboratory is the heart of Mokosh.
This is where science meets nature.
Care becomes something more than a routine.
And full control over every stage of creation allows bold ideas to become unique formulas you can trust.
Few people know that…
all Mokosh formulas are created in our laboratory,
which, in the early stages of the company's activity, more than 10 years ago, evolved into a research and development centre with its own machinery park, operating under the strict supervision of the quality control team.
- We act without compromise
We create recipes by our own rules - we develop ideas freely, test and refine them for as long as the concept requires. Our creative process is not limited by anything, because it is free from the constraints imposed by external subcontractors. - Full control over quality
We oversee every stage of product creation, working at our own pace, which lets us act with precision and consistency until we achieve a result that matches the original concept. - The result? Perfected formulas
The freedom to act allows us to create products of unrivalled quality. It also opens up the possibility of contract manufacturing – for years we have been creating formulas for cosmetic brands that lack a production base and expertise.
Stages of creating the perfect product
analysis of customer needs
Marketing departmentYou set the direction…
… because we first look at typical skin needs, which often stem from a constantly busy lifestyle and a lack of time and energy to take care of oneself. With the help of consumer studies, including focus groups, and by observing global trends, we keep pace with everyday skin care problems. It happens that, thanks to knowledge gained in markets that are ahead of ours, we discover needs that people are not yet aware of.
We turn expectations into results...
…because we offer formulas whose action is confirmed by both our in-house studies and independent laboratory ones.
We attach great importance to ensuring that our cosmetics, their textures and packaging fit perfectly into the rhythm of your day, and are comfortable to use and intuitive.
The senses unleash emotions…
…because Mokosh means unexpected scents that amaze you, sometimes give you confidence, and at other times bring relief and calm – so needed in a world full of chaos and overstimulation.

creating bold ideas
Marketing + R&D departmentsFar from ordinary solutions
We begin the process of creating cosmetics with ideas that at first glance seem impossible to realise. In the Mokosh laboratory universe there are no barriers that would lock us into established market patterns. On the contrary, there is room for creative boldness in maximising the potential of ingredients and formulas. It is precisely this boldness that allows us to anticipate trends and Customers' expectations.

original recipes from our laboratory
R&D departmentWhere chemistry turns into alchemy
The Mokosh laboratory is a space where science and precision meet imagination and… a pinch of magic.
Our research and development centre, equipped with specialised apparatus such as magnetic and mechanical mixers, homogenisers, an incubator, a laboratory refrigerator and a pH meter, allows us to create stable and effective recipes under controlled conditions.
But let us not forget that machines are not everything. Over the years we have built a way of working that goes beyond the confines of a written recipe. Besides technology, the intuition and experience of the team matter too, giving every formula its own unique character. This is precisely where unrepeatable cosmetics are born, combining effectiveness with sensory pleasure.
Broad scientific support
We work continuously with the Medical University of Łódź. Together we develop research projects focused on innovations in anti-aging care.

studies
R&D department + external laboratoriesBefore it reaches your hands, every product goes through a series of specialised tests – carried out both in-house and in cooperation with independent laboratories.
Studies at our research and development centre
- Internal research panel
The first testers are our own research and development team, the marketing team and everyone within the company who belongs to the product's target group - this is how we gather first impressions and let them guide us as we refine the formulas. - Stability tests
Before a formula goes to external testing, we observe how it behaves under different conditions, so that you can enjoy it throughout its entire shelf life. - Packaging compatibility
We make sure that both the packaging and the formula keep their properties, working in perfect harmony.
External laboratory tests
- Application and instrumental tests
So that every claim about the action of our cosmetics is 100% verified, we use advanced research instruments that allow the skin to be assessed with a precision unattainable by the naked eye.
Thanks to specialised equipment we measure real changes in hydration, elasticity, structure, colour and the skin's protective barrier. The effects we promise are not invented claims, but reliable, objective measurement results.
[apparatus]
- Microbiological tests
We make sure the product is microbiologically clean and meets strict hygiene standards. - Safety assessment
We confirm that every formula is safe for everyday use and complies with the regulations in force. - Dermatological tests
We check skin tolerance, eliminating the risk of irritation or allergies. - Preservation tests
We test the stability of the formula during use, so that it is resistant to external factors. - Safety assessor
- Other unusual tests
E.g. ophthalmological, i.e. eye-related, or clinical, carried out in the 12-17 age group.

production area
production departmentBecause we own our production base – something few companies in this industry can boast – we choose the tools and machinery ourselves, in order to translate the formulas created in our laboratory to mass scale with perfect precision, preserving their properties and stability.
We use modern equipment, including:
- vacuum homogenisers with a capacity from several dozen to several hundred kilograms,
- mixers for emulsions and scrubs
- an automated production line for dosing, closing and labelling products
- precise pneumatic fillers
- pH meters
- laboratory scales
Thanks to this we can maintain the highest standards of precision, repeatability and production safety.

quality control
a separate departmentCan the player also be the referee?
In theory, the quality control department is a collaborator, a team player, but in practice it becomes an independent referee. It is a unit in its own right, watching the actions of every department from above. All this to make sure every product meets rigorous, continuously improved standards.
Quality control carries out, among other things:
- pH measurements,
- determination of the density of cosmetic masses,
- immersion and trace tests,
- continuous checking of measuring devices,
- calibration of equipment.
All this to ensure precise repeatability of results.
Responsibility built into the process
During production we monitor every batch against defined parameters. For each one we create a control sample, which we keep in our archive. If a Customer complaint comes in about a product, we first analyse this reference sample - if it is in perfect condition, we check the conditions in which the cosmetic was stored at the Customer's. When the control sample also shows irregularities, we determine the source of the problem: from the quality of raw materials, through possible human error, to irregularities in the production process. We leave nothing to chance.
Thanks to the synergy of these three areas – our laboratory and production, continuously monitored by the control team – we create products of unrivalled quality.
