The MOQ problem with a large manufacturer
Seppic is a leading manufacturer of cosmetic raw materials. A subsidiary of the Air Liquide group, the company has been designing and manufacturing specialty ingredients for over 80 years, including natural origin actives, bio-based emulsifiers, polymers, and surfactants, and supports brands in over 100 countries. This industrial scale has a direct consequence: the packaging is calibrated for large production volumes. For an independent brand or a formulator in the pre-series phase, these minimum order quantities are often out of reach.
The solution: optimization
Cosmetic Innov Access buys in bulk directly from Seppic, then repackages these references in quantities suitable for small and medium series. The goal: to provide access to the same industrial raw materials, without the volume constraints.
A complete compliance documentation
Each reconditioned batch is accompanied by a certificate of analysis (CoA) issued by Cosmetic Innov Access, with double traceability: the batch number from the manufacturer Seppic and the batch number from Cosmetic Innov Access created during reconditioning. The material remains strictly identical to the original, and the client retains the regulatory file provided by Seppic (technical data sheet, safety data), to which the traceability from Cosmetic Innov Access is added. This complete traceability allows for the integration of documents directly into your Product Information File (DIP).
At Cosmetic Innov Access
Seppic trusts Cosmetic Innov Access to distribute its references below its own standard order thresholds, a relationship built over time. Specifically, this allows an independent brand to secure a reliable supply of recognized raw materials from the market, without tying up disproportionate cash compared to its actual needs. It also avoids waste related to oversized volumes compared to actual needs, thereby reducing the environmental impact of sourcing.
