Thanks to the agreement, Univar Solutions Beauty & Personal Care Latin America division will now supply Cargill Beauty’s extensive portfolio of nature-derived ingredients throughout the LATAM region, where fast growth is being seen in countries like Mexico, Chile and Colombia.
The agreement between the two companies builds on a long history of partnerships between the two companies, and makes Cargill Beauty products available to all manufactures in the Latin America region.
Expansive portfolio of products
Currently Cargill Beauty’s portfolio includes texturizers, emulsifiers, emollients, sensory enhancers, bioactive and base ingredients, all of which contain individual products that touch on the nature-derived theme.
