Microfactory is a start-up from one of the best microfluidic laboratories: ESPCI. Microfluidics being a growing field, with applications in multiple disciplines, Microfactory’s goal is to enhance microfluidic know-how by making it available to industrialists.

Microfactory also enables its customers to reduce and optimize R&D time to accelerate the time-to-market of formulations. Microfactory offers its services to assess ingredient properties, optimize formulations in the R&D phase, and certify finished products.

To do so, Microfactory has patented the first synthetic skin capable of mimicking the mechanism of perspiration, sweat and sebum excretion, and water loss. Based in Paris, Microfactory’s engineers use this skin to objectivize the performance of antiperspirants, make-up, and skincare products.
