Botanical ingredients for cosmetic and personal care formulation, supplied in bulk from Morocco.
Ingredient families for this sector
Cosmetic formulators buy from this catalogue in two ways: essential oils as aromatic or functional additions, and dried plant material as an input to extracts and infusions prepared in house.
Essential Oils
Moroccan essential oils supplied in bulk to fragrance, cosmetic, food and aromatherapy manufacturers. Every oil is quoted against a specification agreed at enquiry rather than offered from a fixed list, because the profile a buyer needs follows from the formulation it is going into.
Dried Herbs
Moroccan dried herbs supplied in bulk to herbal, food, beverage and cosmetic manufacturers. Cut, cleanliness and presentation do more to determine whether a consignment is usable than the name on the invoice, so those are agreed against your process before a quotation is issued.
Herbal Roots
Moroccan herbal roots supplied in bulk to fragrance, herbal and cosmetic manufacturers. Root material is bought against preparation as much as against weight, and what can be supplied is confirmed against your specification at enquiry.
Procurement considerations
These are the questions a cosmetic buyer normally puts to a raw material supplier. They are answered per ingredient, against the specification agreed at enquiry.
- Botanical identity. Genus and species, and the plant part the material was produced from.
- Batch variation. Natural materials vary in colour, odour and composition between harvests. What variation is expected, and what is out of specification, is worth agreeing before the first order.
- Documentation for your dossier. Which documents can accompany a consignment is ingredient-specific and is confirmed during the enquiry.
- Stability and storage. Aromatic and dried botanical materials change with time and handling. Storage conditions and the shelf life being worked to should be part of the specification.
- Packaging and volume. Container format and order quantity are agreed per consignment.
