Finding one supplier who can cover the whole formula is hard. The Ingredients Store brings together more than 500 natural ingredients for cosmetics and personal care, from the oils and butters that make up most of a product to the emollients, structurants, conditioning agents and preservation systems that make it perform. You can buy a bench sample and a production drum from the same place, with the same documents.
Who we work with
-
Formulators and chemists who need small, documented quantities for development and stability work.
-
Indie and established brands scaling a product from first batch to regular production.
-
Contract manufacturers buying to a client's specification, often across many ingredients at once.

Documentation formulators can rely on
Every product page lists the INCI name, so you can build your ingredient list and safety report with confidence. For most natural ingredients we hold a specification, safety data sheet, supplier product statement and manufacturing flow chart. Essential oils and absolutes add IFRA certificates, EU allergen declarations and, for many, a typical GC analysis. Partner ingredients come with the manufacturer's specification and safety data sheet. Certificates of analysis can be supplied for the batch you receive.
From bench to production
Most ingredients are sold in sizes from 250g or 500ml up to 5kg and 25kg, and many in drums and IBCs, so the material you approve at the bench is the one you scale with. For regular orders we quote contract pricing and plan stock around your production. If you need a ready-made base, we blend oils to your recipe, and through our manufacturing and packaging partners we can help take a product to a finished, filled item. See bespoke blends and contract manufacturing.
Why buy from one supplier
Fewer suppliers means fewer deliveries to book in, fewer accounts to manage and one place to ask for documents. Many of our customers combine oils, butters, essential oils and partner ingredients on one order, and our team, with more than 40 years in natural ingredients, can help you find an alternative when a grade is short or a formula needs a change. Orders are usually dispatched within 3 working days by tracked courier, and bulk orders travel by pallet courier.
