  • Good supplier for common cosmetic chemicals? Or when to stop ordering from webshops

    Posted by Anonymous on August 6, 2018 at 2:29 pm

    When starting out you typically use off the shelf webshops like makingcosmetics, but when you get to some scale cutting out the middleman starts making sense.

    Are there suppliers with a similarly broad selection of raws and relatively small moqs? For example xanthan gum, lactic acid, sodium lactate, emulsifying wax and other common raws.

    Or does forgoing the webshops mean ordering materials from a much larger number of suppliers?

    You can find bigger suppliers on places like ulprospector.com or knowde.com

    It’s likely you’ll continue to order from webshops for things you don’t buy much of and larger suppliers for your larger ingredient orders.

    You can check your local business directory for chemical suppliers

    you can also contact the large manufacturers i.e. Kao, Pilot Chemical, Stepan, Clariant and often they will sell you as little as one drum, as long as you pick it up yourself.
    Some are hard to do business with, i.e. Croda.
