About
We turn other people’s ideas into product.
Centennial is a personal care manufacturer that takes an idea and makes it into something a customer can buy — quickly, and at a quality that survives a Sephora buyer.
Who we are
Through scientific research, a close read of where the market is going, and fast product development and fulfilment, we turn a concept into a consumer-ready product. We call that process Express Product Development.
Whether you’re building a brand for a skincare practice, mass retail, a salon or spa, a department store, a shopping channel or an infomercial, our scientists, production coordinators and supply chain specialists have done it before. Long-standing relationships with dermatologists, nutritionists, hairstylists, makeup artists, media and shopping channels mean we can help you place a line as well as make one.
We work with clients local and global, large and small. We’ve been doing it since 1979.

Research
Innovation is the reason clients stay.
Centennial draws its research and development from a partnership with Medical Doctors’ Research (MDR®), whose team works under founder and chief scientist Dr. Patricia Riley. Their 50,000 square foot OTC/FDA-approved production facility is in Sunrise, FL.
What follows is a record of ingredients and technologies that went into our formulas before they went into anybody else’s.
First oil-free moisturiser.
First to use antioxidants — vitamin E, C, A and superoxide dismutase — as a defence against oxidative aging in skin care and nutritional formulas. Free radicals are now recognised as a key factor in aging and in many diseases.
First with nutrients to beautify skin, hair and nails from within.
First to introduce AM/PM vitamin dosages for improved absorption.
First to use beta carotene in skin care.
First to use phytoestrogens in skin care to address hormonal changes with aging.
First to use pine bark, grape seed and Coenzyme Q-10 in skin care.
Patented anti-aging technology from the lotus flower.
First skin care formulas with lycopene and lutein.
First with natural sources of resveratrol in skin care — later credited on television as the agent in red wine linked to longevity.
Numerous patents and novel technologies in the US and Europe to fight the signs of aging.
Co-founded the first International Workshop on Stem Cell Therapeutics at the University of Miami.
Anti-wrinkle neuropeptides, elasticity promoters, MMP inhibitors, powerful antioxidants and newly discovered SIRT cell longevity enhancers.
Anti-aging stem cell research in progress.
Bring us the idea.
Sheryl can tell you on the first call whether it’s something we can make, and roughly what it costs.
