Russian cosmetics manufacturer Matsesta has become a Skolkovo resident and received the «Made in Kuban» designation.The Sochi-based manufacturer has grown from a cosmetics brand to a technology company, developing over 500 formulas in-house, conducting R&D, and has already used this foundation to enter the challenging 0+ category. For Matsesta, these new achievements are the continuation of several years of investment in its own formulas, research, and production development in Sochi. Just a few years ago, a significant portion of technological solutions in the Russian cosmetics industry were based on foreign developments. Today, domestic companies are gradually building their own technological base: investing in research, establishing laboratories, and developing products domestically. This development was one of the factors that led to Matsesta becoming a Skolkovo resident. The company conducts its own R&D, develops formulas, and implements new technological solutions into mass production. «For the cosmetics industry, obtaining Skolkovo residency status is not a mere formality. To take its place among the country’s leading enterprises, a company must demonstrate its own scientific base, innovative developments, and the potential to create new technologies. Therefore, for us, this is, first and foremost, recognition of the team’s long-standing work and, at the same time, an opportunity to move forward,» said Alexander Karimov, founder and CEO of Matsesta.The company is already leveraging its research capabilities in developing new product categories. One example is its own line of cosmetics for children, including newborns. Several years of development allowed the company to create formulas that have passed the necessary quality control for use from the first days of life. Entering this segment was an important step for the company in mastering one of the most demanding segments of the cosmetics market. Today, Matsesta operates as a full-cycle manufacturer and produces over 400,000 units of cosmetic products monthly. Its portfolio includes over 500 proprietary formulas, including face and body care products, professional lines, and products for the hotel and spa sectors. The company also engages in contract manufacturing, producing products for over 300 Russian brands.Matsesta specialists also participate in industry expert councils and relevant federal events. E-commerce has become another source of practical analytics for the company: the company’s own turnover on marketplaces exceeds 60 million rubles per month, allowing it to track changes in consumer demand and take them into account when developing new products.Further recognition of its manufacturing expertise has been the «Made in Kuban» label, awarded to products that have passed quality and safety assessments.For the Russian cosmetics market, this signifies the emergence of companies capable of not only producing finished products but also independently developing formulas and mastering technologically complex categories, reducing the industry’s dependence on foreign developments.
