Inolex, a global leader in designing safe and sustainable ingredients for health, beauty and wellness has forged an exclusive small-pack distribution partnership with online platform The Ingredients Store.

Officials say the collaboration broadens Inolex’s presence across Europe, providing brands further access to the company’s innovative portfolio of ingredients via a trusted online marketplace.

“Providing our ingredients via an online marketplace that caters to smaller, rising indie brands and early-stage beauty companies is really important for supporting the success of our industry,” said Mark Evans, business director of EMEA at Inolex. “This partnership provides a platform to build relationships and explore opportunities with up-and-coming brands who are developing the next generation of high performing, conscious beauty care.”

Access to Online Platform

The partnership empowers smaller indies and new start-ups by providing access to Inolex’s safe, natural and sustainable ingredients through The Ingredients Store’s online platform. The focus is to support these businesses as they grow and innovate in the beauty and personal care industry, officials said. Direct purchase of small-packs from The Ingredients Store is available for customers in the UK, Ireland, France and Germany for many Inolex ingredients. These same package sizes may also be available in other European countries through Inolex’s distribution partner network.

The Ingredients Store’s extensive network and expertise in the UK and EU markets adds to Inolex’s growing technical and logistics network throughout the world. The partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of its sustainable ingredients and advance Inolex’s mission of promoting environmental stewardship in the beauty industry among customers who require smaller ingredient quantities.

Said Christopher Holmes, managing director of The Ingredients Store, said, “Our mission is to empower makers, creators and brands by providing access to innovative natural ingredients they can trust. Since our first meeting with Inolex, we’ve been excited about the partnership—their technologies, commitment to innovation, and the entrepreneurial spirit that drives the company. Together, we’re confident that we’ll bring tremendous value, driving positive change and supporting customers with high-quality, sustainable ingredients as we expand our online platform and global partnerships.”
