Yorkshire-based natural oil supplier O&3 have introduced additional hard-working and versatile ingredients, including onion, spinach and cabbage seed cold pressed oils to their product range.
With full technical information readily available for customers, O&3 are focused on making buying easy and transparent. Co-founded by siblings Jennifer Wood, Eleanor Wade and Thomas Kerfoot, O&3 airm to shake up the natural oils industry with a proactive and entrepreneurial approach to spotting trends and introducing unusual, niche products.
Jennifer Wood, chief executive, said: “Growing up in the natural oils industry, my brother, sister and I learned a huge amount about the sourcing of ingredients, but we could also see that the way it worked needed shaking up. Often slow-moving and inflexible, the industry just wasn’t delivering the service customers expected. That’s why we set up O&3 – The Oil Family.
“We aim to work fast, solve problems, and be brave for our customers, so they can get the best quality and range of natural oil ingredients quickly and easily. We’re constantly talking to our customers and have brought a number of innovative and unique ingredients to market in the past year – including our recent additions just launched.
“We’ve formed some fantastic partnerships and will carry on searching, testing and innovating to create exciting new products in the future.”
Already offering more than 600 natural oil products – from cold pressed and essential oils, to butters, waxes and soap bases – new additions to O&3’s range of natural oil ingredients include:
• Onion Seed Cold Pressed oil – this oil promotes hair growth, stimulates the scalp and helps to nourish the skin. This oil is packed full of Vitamin C and is also antibacterial, so it is great for use in shampoos and shower/bath products.
• Spinach Seed Cold Pressed oil – packed with vitamins and antioxidants, this oil is wonderful for damaged and ageing skin. The oil would fit perfectly into all ranges of soaps, skin and hair care.
• Cabbage Seed Cold Pressed oil – another oil high in Vitamin C, it helps to keep the skin healthy and can also help protect against UV, so is a good addition to everyday skin care products.
• Radish Seed Cold Pressed oil – full of omega-9 and fatty acids, this oil helps to maintain healthy skin and hair, so is great for all kinds of soaps, skin and hair care products.
