Industries and Product Groups

Alchem Trading connects novel, breakthrough ingredients with the brands and formulators who need them most.

We specialise in cosmetics and personal care across the UK & Ireland, but work anywhere innovation matters.

Our role is simple:

If you’re a brand (like a skincare company), we give you first access to exciting new ingredients that can make your products stand out.
If you’re an innovator (like a scientist or specialist manufacturer), we help your new ingredient reach the right companies in the UK & Ireland.
And for everyone, we keep things open and honest — you always know exactly where the ingredient comes from and who made it.

In short: We connect the people who create new ingredients with the people who use them.
