Formulators move fast, and the ingredient list behind a successful product is always evolving. To keep pace with what our personal care customers are asking for, we've expanded our Cosmetic & Personal Care range with a fresh selection of actives, botanicals, and functional ingredients.
The additions span the categories that matter most to skincare and haircare developers — from high-performance actives to the emulsifiers and sensory modifiers that turn a good formula into a great one.
What's new in the range
Our expanded portfolio strengthens several key groups that formulators draw on every day:
- Actives: additional antioxidants, peptides, and skin-conditioning agents for targeted claims
- Botanical extracts: a broader selection of plant-derived ingredients for natural-positioned products
- Emulsifiers & texture agents: options that improve stability and sensory feel
- Humectants & emollients: reliable workhorses for hydration and skin feel
Built around how formulators work
Choosing an ingredient is rarely just about the molecule — it's about availability, documentation, and consistency from batch to batch. Every product in our range ships with a current Safety Data Sheet and the technical detail your formulation and regulatory teams need.
