The NuCLab

Know-how from global brands

The NuCLab is a Cosmetics and Food Supplements Research & Development Laboratory located in Athens, Greece and is infused with the long experience of Mrs Katerina Vassilatou, a Chemist specialized in Cosmetology and Pharmaceutical Technology. Having worked with big brands at a global level, the founder of the laboratory gained invaluable know-how on various fields, namely formulation, manufacturing and market trends and she now shares through the lab all this information with our customers. By developing a personal relationship with our customers, we have already achieved to present several successful marketed products locally and internationally. Having connected our name with either start-up brands freshly introduced in the market or already established ones in need of innovation, our target is leaving our stamp on high quality end products with attributes much higher than our customers’ expectations but most importantly which also exceed their own customers expectations as well.
