Ingredient categories
Cosmetics ingredient categories we supply
Cosmetics and personal care producers buy raw materials to build decorative, skin care and hygiene formulations. FrontMass RM’s Group serves them as a manufacturer’s representative, importer and distributor.
Decorative cosmetics
Products used to improve the appearance of the face, eyes, and lips. Foundation, blush, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick are among the products available. For a cosmetics producer, the raw-material requirement may relate to color, feel, coverage, fragrance or the structure of the finished formulation.
Skin care cosmetics
Products intended to maintain and improve the skin’s health and appearance. Cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and anti-aging creams are examples of these products. They are intended to cleanse, moisturize, and protect the skin from environmental elements such as UV rays, pollution, and stress. Fine lines, wrinkles, and other indications of aging can also be reduced with skin care products. Skin care formulators select raw materials according to the role each one must perform in a cleanser, moisturizer, cream or other finished product.
Personal care cosmetics
Products used to maintain one’s personal hygiene and grooming. Soaps, shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, and toothpaste are examples of these products. They are intended to clean and refresh the body, as well as to prevent or minimize body odor. Personal care cosmetics are crucial for maintaining good personal hygiene and are used on a daily basis. Producers source ingredients for cleansing, conditioning, foaming, fragrance, preservation and other specific formulation functions.
