This document summarizes the product development process for Nivea makeup. It discusses [1] formula development which involves selecting raw materials and mixing components, [2] color development including shades for products like foundation and lipstick, and [3] quality assurance testing at different temperatures, measuring attributes like pH and viscosity. It then [4] describes scaling up mixtures for production runs in mixers ranging from 20kg to 1000kg capacity and [5] efficacy testing on consumers to confirm product claims. The document also provides examples of how ingredients in lipstick, mascara and nail polish achieve certain effects.
