Personal Care Global editor Tim Probert talks to Irene Cantos Gaceo, IMCD Group Director, Beauty & Personal Care, about how the distributor of speciality chemicals is diversifying to stay ahead of the competition
Tim Probert (TP): In recent months you have started producing market-ready prototypes such as the NeoTech Beauty collection. As a distributor, what is the thinking behind offering prototypes and formulations?
Irene Cantos Gaceo (ICG): We are trying to add value to our stakeholders, not only to our customers as a distributor but also to really understand the market needs and trends.

The final pillar is bringing smart ingredients to the formula, so that we can help overcome formulation challenges.
