Summary:
This UK-based company produces and distributes natural skincare products, sold in vintage glass packaging and tubes that appeal to the gifting market. The range includes moisturisers, body oils and bath salts.
Having begun to sell its products internationally via its website, the company now wishes to appoint distributors overseas, to represent and market its products in these markets.
Description:
The UK company manufactures and markets a range of hand-made and natural skin products, with its own strong and distinctive brand.
The range is targeted at busy women seeking natural, honest skincare rather than mass market products which make big claims. It includes:
• Body moisturisers
• Anti-bacterial hand-creams and hand-wash
• Face and body oils
• Bath salts
The company also offers gift sets. All the products are made from natural ingredients such as shea and cocoa butter, aloe vera, avocado and apricot kernel oils and are sold in vintage glass packaging or tubes. The look and scents of the products are tropical / Hawaiian themed. Two of the products have won international beauty awards in their categories.
The skincare range is sold both via retailers, including major players such as TK Maxx and Fenwicks, and online.
The company is now keen to develop its export activity in European markets and beyond. It therefore wishes to appoint distributors who would represent the company and distribute its products in their appointed territory. Ideally, partners should be experienced in the beauty / cosmetics / toiletries sector and have excellent links into local retailers.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The ideal partner will be a distributor experienced in the marketing and sale of natural beauty / skincare / toiletry products and have excellent links into retailers / suppliers of these products in their country.
They would be expected to work with the UK company to build up the brand in their territory and provide market feedback as required. They should be committed to a long-term collaborative relationship
