Revlon relocates R&D laboratory

Cosmetics and personal care brand Revlon is relocating its science and innovation, or R&D, lab to a new location. 

Formerly based in New Jersey, the laboratory is moving to the Northeast Science and Technology Center. 

“Revlon selected NEST for its existing lab infrastructure, which will help us further amplify our innovation capabilities, and provide a state-of-the-art setting to meet our specific R&D needs,” said Lise Jorgensen, Revlon’s chief scientific officer. “This substantial investment in our R&D capabilities marks a critical and exciting step in Revlon's future and reinforces our commitment to develop the most advanced consumer-inspired products for our brands around the world."

The Revlon research labs, which focus on manufacturing and office functions, will be housed in a new space that most recently served as Merck’s global research headquarters. 

“Revlon's decision to join NEST is an exciting step towards our vision of a dynamic, collaborative, innovation ecosystem,” said Matthew Flath, Onyx Equities' senior vice president asset management, who oversees the NEST campus. “With their decades-long legacy in beauty and personal care, Revlon complements the forward-thinking research environment at NEST and is helping to establish a community where leading science and technology companies unite to innovate, thrive, and elevate industry standards.”
