Skincare actives, vitamins, hydrolysed proteins, carrier oils and butters, botanical extracts, cosmetic emulsifiers and preservatives, sourced by INCI name against your specification and quoted per requirement.

Requirement translation
We turn a formulation need into a sourceable specification: INCI name, grade, origin, form, pack size and the documents that must travel with it.
Ongoing supply
One contact for brands and makers with repeat or changing requirements, from first samples to production quantities, with the same documents each time.
