01 / ABOUT
BUILT ON
CHEMISTRY. — About Nanuvo Labs, a cosmetic chemistry lab in Buffalo, NY
made for brands.
Nanuvo Labs brings formulation, product development, and manufacturing together for skincare brands that care equally about performance and presentation.
VOL. 1 / LAB
good chemistry
is only the beginning.
A formula has to do more than work at the bench. It has to remain stable, feel right, fit the packaging, meet the requirements of its market, and still express the idea behind the brand.
That is why we keep development and production close. Our team looks at the whole product — not chemistry in isolation — so thoughtful ideas can become credible, repeatable goods.
The chemistry, the packaging, the compliance, and the launch plan are all made in the same room. Nothing gets lost in translation between the lab and the brand.
OUR WAY OF WORKING
WHY NANUVO?
A good product starts with a clear partnership. These commitments shape the work from the first conversation to the finished batch.
QUALITY.
We source ingredients from reputable, vetted suppliers and make decisions for performance, stability, and ingredient integrity—not shortcuts.
MADE TO ORDER.
Our private-label and custom products are made to order. We make what is needed instead of building excess stock, supporting freshness and reducing unnecessary waste.
VOL. 2 / TEAM
FOUNDED 2011
A FOCUSED POINT
OF VIEW.
with a team behind it.
Nanuvo was founded in 2011 by Gabrielle Nekrasas as an independent cosmetic chemistry practice. The goal was simple: give brands thoughtful technical guidance without losing sight of what makes a product desirable.
Today, that point of view is carried by a lab and production team working across formulation, development, manufacturing, filling, and regulatory support.
Gabrielle also participates in the Independent Beauty Association's Sustainability & Supply Chain Committee, contributing to a broader conversation about responsible development and supply chains, and holds two patents in sustainable materials.
