Research and Development
Wella AG is engaged in intensive research throughout the world to ensure that in an ever-changing marketplace new products are quickly brought to a marketable stage. Research investments tripled over the last decade.

 Competitive Edge through International Research

Testing in a Wella lab

Three international Wella research facilities work closely together. Research is conducted in Europe and the USA in collaboration with renowned universities and institutes in the fields of basic and raw material development. Before being tested in practice by experienced hairdressers, new formulas are checked for quality in the lab and in the Applications Technology division, and for user compatibility in the Product Safety division. Only then are new products released to take the market by storm.


 Hair Cosmetics Milestones

'Twist and Color' packaging

When it comes to haircolor, Wella has always played a leading role on the market. With 'Koleston', Wella was the first to develop a cream-based haircolor which was followed by many further innovations - such as the new color molecules of its intensive red shades.
Consumers have also benefited from special design innovations such as the 'Twist and Color' packaging, which uses a special two-component technology to enable quick and easy product application.
The company also regularly revolutionises the topic of perms - for example with 'Perform Carnitin", which using a new active substance improves the elasticity of the hair, at the same time retaining the products' good care properties.
Regenerative raw materials such as Betaine or Chitosan and environmentally friendly packaging such as the Biopol shampoo bottle are also results of Wella's intensive research program.
