Helping manufacturers maintain margins

Jarvis is utilising its creative and flexible development methods to offer an economically priced range of traditional, high quality extracts which can be tailored to the specific needs of clients’ formulae at no additional cost.

Well known for its innovative natural cosmetic formulae development, Jarvis understands the huge constraints being placed on manufacturers by increasing costs and large minimum orders.
 
Managing director, Quentin Jarvis, explains: “With the cost of many raw materials rising rapidly and brand owners unable or unwilling to sacrifice further margins to pay for their finished goods, manufacturers are caught between a rock and a hard place. Add to this rising packaging and energy costs and the picture becomes bleaker. 

“As a company we are continually looking for ways to save our clients money, and have launched this initiative in response to our research which shows that very few products rely solely on extracts to deliver a meaningful function; they need augmenting with specific complex ingredients. 

“Therefore, the main function of the extract is for the product image so why pay over the odds for extracts with inflated prices due to huge amounts of scientific investigation and paperwork, when they cannot deliver function unaided?”

Jarvis’ new range of extracts offers a more economical alternative as it does not include the added overhead of scientific research.

Quentin Jarvis concludes: “As a relatively small company we do not have the huge overheads or administrative burden of many larger firms. We also have a strong team of highly skilled chemists; all of which enable us to produce cost effective, bespoke extracts to fit clients’ existing INCI lists and potentially restore the margins to the products they are selling.”
