Personal care ingredient maker AAK has appointed Azelis to distribute its complete range of emollients in South Korea.
The tie-up follows a successful commercial relationship between Azelis and AAK for food and nutrition ingredients in the Americas.
With over 150 years of experience in plant-based oils, AAK offers tailored solutions with proven performance.
The Swedish company's comprehensive range of emollients, renowned for their high oxidative stability, is widely used in skin care, hair care, and cosmetic applications.
These emollients provide a range of benefits, including conditioning, enhanced sensory experiences, skin repair, and improved product stability.
AAK said, by offering natural alternatives, the agreement empowers Azelis to meet the growing market demand for eco-friendly solutions, such as increasing the natural index of end products, and supporting the shift towards more sustainable formulations in the South Korean market.
Ben Sales, AAK personal care international sales manager, added: “Collaborating with Azelis in South Korea marks an exciting chapter for AAK. Azelis’ market penetration and outstanding laboratory capabilities complement our offerings.
“Their commitment to customer satisfaction makes them an ideal partner of choice, and we look forward to working together to support our customers in the personal care industry.”
