Summary:
The Portuguese company, launched in June 2020, is first and foremost a European skincare brand: based in Portugal, but whose products are produced in Belgium, and most part of its raw materials and packaging suppliers are from European countries.
They want to establish a distribution services agreement and/ or a commercial agency agreement.
Description:
The Portuguese company is a unique weeds-based skincare brand, made to celebrate the potentiality of weeds. They stand for the ubiquitous, spontaneous beauty that grows in nature.
Once regarded as medicine and nourishment, the plants which are named weeds play an important role in the ecosystems and are actually a source of powerful nutrients and antioxidants that one can benefit from.
Their belief is that skincare should be pleasurable, ethical and effective. Their products don't contain palm oil (nor its derivatives), instead they are totally free and vegan. They are carefully formulated with high quality ingredients to offer protection and balance to the skin: vegetable oils and butters, hydro sols, plant extracts and a few cosmetician ingredients, acting in synergy to elevate their natural glow. Their range of products is manufactured in small batches in Belgium, in a laboratory specialized in natural and sustainable cosmetics.
They have put a lot of effort in building a sustainable brand, which is reflected in the partnerships already built (NGOs - Non Governmental Organizations, NATRUE Scientific Committee Criteria and Label certification), and in the raw materials´choices.
Their aim is to enter international markets under distribution services agreements and/ or commercial agency agreements.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The Portuguese company would like to find a distribution and/ or commercial agent partner to help them to enter new international markets (at present they only have retailers in Portugal and Belgium). The Portuguese company aims to find partners that can help them to find physical spaces that match with their brand aesthetic and ethic/philosophy, all around Europe. Having their products in physical shops will help them to reach more people, as well as to build trust relationships with customers.
In, sum, they are looking for distributors and commercial agency partners that could help them expanding their business in Europe: they have the ambition to use weeds on the beauty and wellness radar.
