Alchemy Ingredients create easy-to-use, naturally-derived ingredients using safe, raw materials that provide a high performance alternative to synthetic products
At Alchemy Ingredients we believe that it's possible to replace synthetic raw materials in cosmetic formulations, without compromise.
Based in the UK, our easy-to-use, naturally-derived blends are created using safe, raw materials and provide high-performance alternatives to synthetic products. Our range started with sugar chemistry, providing natural ways to thicken oil or water-based systems and has evolved to include unusual emulsion systems and gelling agents. With a Gold EcoVadis rating and 90% of our entire product range either COSMOS approved or certified – we are proud of our sustainable approach to providing natural ingredients.
A natural alternative to synthetic foaming agents, this mild surfactant blend creates wonderful soft, foaming textures when combined with oil.
Based on amino acid surfactants, known for their mild and moisturising properties, Micromulse® Foam enables formulators to create transforming oil-to-foam textures suitable for sensitive skin. Perfect for use in facial skincare, haircare and body care formulations.
