Find alternatives and reformulate faster

When ingredients are restricted, discontinued, or need to be replaced with more sustainable options, teams can quickly identify viable alternatives and keep formulations on track.

The challenge

Where teams get stuck today

Regulatory changes, alongside supply disruptions, are driving large-scale reformulation across the industry. For many teams, this means re-evaluating existing formulations under tight timelines, with limited visibility into compliant and performance-equivalent substitutes.

Our solution

How Covalo helps

Covalo enables buyers to search for ingredient alternatives based on function, constraints, and compliance requirements.

Teams can:

  • Identify replacement ingredients based on function and application
  • Compare alternatives using standardized, like-for-like attributes
  • Evaluate compliance and technical data early in the process
  • Request samples directly from suppliers

This turns reformulation from a reactive search process into a structured, data-driven workflow.
