Our cosmetic raw ingredients are additives, rather than bases, and stand out for being both natural and highly useful. Cosmetics companies benefit not only from their functionality, but also from their marketing appeal when launching new cosmetics products.
The naturally derived raw ingredients we develop for health foods also significantly enhance the products of our health food customers.
Our raw ingredients for cosmetics and health foods are mainly of natural origin from plants, animals and microorganisms.
