General information

Short Summary
A Romanian company specialises in manufacturing natural cosmetic products for women, men, and children. The company offers a wide range of cosmetic products based on the firm’s original recipes, such as lip balms, face and body creams, natural soaps, face tonics etc. Aiming to ensure a high level of sustainability for its products, the company seeks new European suppliers, including resellers, able to provide quality cardboard lip balm tubes. Cooperation will be based on supplier agreements.
Full Description
The Romanian company was established by two young entrepreneurs with a keen interest in natural cosmetic products. The company specialises in creating cosmetic products, based on the firms’ own recipes.

The company’s product portfolio includes:
- lip balms;
- hand, face and body creams and lotions;
- sunscreens and insect repellent lotions;
- natural soaps;
- cleansing gels and face tonics;
- after-shaves and beard creams.

The company’s products are manufactured using natural ingredients which include essential and vegetable oils, and active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, and Q10 coenzyme obtained through plant synthesis. Mineral additives are used for colour and protection. Ingredients used in the manufacturing process are sourced from suppliers in Romania and Germany. Approximately 80-90% of the company’s recipes are vegan, while 70-80% of the ingredients used are bio or organic certified.

The company uses complex, original recipes with up to 30 ingredients/product. The use of every ingredient is well justified to ensure an enhancement of the products’ cosmetic effects. All recipes are EC notified and carry appropriate approvals. No animal testing is conducted.

To ensure a high level of sustainability for its products, the company seeks new European suppliers able to provide quality, cardboard lip balm tubes. The Romanian company seeks push-up lip balm tubes, made of cardboard/kraft paper, with a capacity of 5-6 ml. Tubes should be suitable for storing grease, as lip balms contain oils and butters. Cooperation will be based on supplier agreements.
