The Ingredients Store, a rapidly growing digital ingredients distribution platform, has announced a new partnership with Vantage, a global manufacturer and supplier of specialty ingredients and natural oils for the personal care, cosmetics and wider formulation industries.
The collaboration will see The Ingredients Store launch a dedicated Vantage collection through its online platform, giving customers easier access to a selected portfolio of Vantage materials, including specialty emollients, botanical extracts, humectants, functional ingredients and natural oils from the Lipovol ® range.
The partnership marks an important development in the way established ingredient manufacturers can connect with the next generation of brands, formulators, and manufacturers. As the cosmetics, personal care and consumer goods markets continue to evolve, customers increasingly expect faster access to technical ingredients, flexible order sizes, digital product information and responsive support.
The Ingredients Store supplies hundreds of indie brands, formulators, laboratories and manufacturers across cosmetics, personal care, wellness, home fragrance and wider consumer product sectors. Built around accessibility, technical support and flexible online ordering, the platform provides a modern route for customers to discover, compare and purchase high-quality ingredients online.
Christopher Holmes, CEO of The Ingredients Store, said:
“We are delighted to partner with Vantage and bring a wider selection of their specialty oils and ingredients to customers through The Ingredients Store. Our platform has been built to support the way modern brands, formulators and manufacturers want to source ingredients — quickly, digitally and with access to the right technical information.
Vantage has a strong reputation for quality, innovation and ingredient expertise, and we see a significant opportunity to make these materials more accessible to the businesses developing the next generation of personal care, cosmetic and consumer products.”
Through the new Vantage collection, customers will be able to access a carefully selected range of ingredients suitable for skincare, haircare, personal care and cosmetic formulation applications. Alongside specialty ingredients, the addition of natural oils from the Lipovol portfolio will give customers access to high-quality oil-based materials suitable for a wide range of formulation needs.
For Vantage, the collaboration provides a complementary digital channel to support customer discovery and access across selected markets. For The Ingredients Store, the partnership represents another important step in its growth as a trusted online platform for specialty oils, ingredients and raw materials.
"Serving every tier of the market fast and with high quality is important to us, and this partnership allows us to do exactly that in EMEA," said Lautaro Tuya, Specialist, Pricing EMEA & APAC, Vantage Specialty Chemicals. "Through The Ingredients Store, formulators and makers who need smaller quantities of our ingredients now have a straightforward, reliable way to access the Vantage portfolio. We see this as a meaningful extension of our reach, and a strong foundation for growing together."
The partnership reflects a broader shift in the ingredients market, where digital distribution is becoming increasingly important for both established manufacturers and fast-moving product developers. By combining Vantage’s ingredient expertise with The Ingredients Store’s digital-first model, the partnership aims to make specialist materials easier to access, evaluate and purchase.
Christopher Holmes added:
“This partnership is an important step in our growth journey. The Ingredients Store was built to make high-quality ingredients more accessible to brands, formulators and manufacturers, shaping the future of personal care, cosmetics and consumer products. Working with Vantage allows us to bring a globally recognized portfolio of specialty oils and ingredients to a wider customer base through a modern, digital-first distribution model.”
