NextGenI

Next-Generation Ingredient Consultancy

From Molecule to Market

Design · Development · Scale-up · Sourcing · Application

NextGenI helps personal care, beauty, food, flavors, fragrance, nutraceutical, and natural colors companies convert ingredient ideas into commercially successful, science-backed, sustainable products.

Material Universe

The Matter We Work With

Two complementary universes: proven naturals with decades of application data, and frontier biotech actives where the science has to be separated from the marketing noise.

30–150 nm vesicle

Exosomes & Extracellular Vesicles

Plant- and cell-derived platforms for skin regeneration and active delivery — evaluated on characterisation, not claims.

Polynucleotides · PDRN

DNA-Derived Actives

PDRN sourcing strategy, molecular-weight and purity benchmarks, and application development for regenerative skincare.

~22 nucleotides

Micro-RNA Actives

Emerging miRNA cosmetic science, its mechanism claims, and a responsible route to commercialization.

Rheology · film-forming

Polymers

Thickeners, film formers and rheology modifiers selected for sensory, stability and cost-in-use in the finished system.

Above the CMC

Surfactants

Biobased and clean-label surfactant systems that replace petrochemical actives without losing foam, mildness or margin.

Photochromic · responsive

Smart Materials & Colors

Light-responsive dyes, natural pigments and stimuli-responsive carriers — shade, stability and a product experience that moves.

Engagement Models

Work With Us the Way That Fits

Advisory Sprint

Focused expert assessment of a defined technical or sourcing question, delivered as a report with recommendations (2–6 weeks).

Project Partnership

End-to-end management of an ingredient development, scale-up, or application program with stage-gated milestones.

Retained Advisory

Ongoing fractional R&D/innovation leadership — your external ingredient science department on a monthly retainer.

Workshops & Training

Hands-on capability building for your technical, sourcing, and marketing teams.

How a Typical Engagement Works

Discover. Define. Develop. Deliver.

1

Discover

We listen first — understanding your product vision, constraints, and success criteria.

2

Define

A clear technical and commercial roadmap with options, risks, and costs.

3

Develop

Hands-on execution: development, scale-up, sourcing, or application work with regular checkpoints.

4

Deliver

Technology transfer, documentation, and team enablement so the capability stays with you.
