TOP 100 most popular suppliers of cosmetics ingredients on SpecialChem in 2023

SpecialChem: The Material Selection Platform offers a free product database of cosmetic and personal care ingredients to help formulators find the right product they need for their project.

In 2023, we listed 49,000+ cosmetics ingredients from 1,100+ suppliers, attracting more than 2.6 Million Product Views. And those views are mostly generated by active technical buyers that:

  • 65% are in R&D and Production positions
  • 69% of the Visits are related to projects
  • 96% from Inbound visitors

As every year, we analyze the products our visitors are most interested in to provide the much-awaited list of top suppliers ranked by product views. Here are the TOP 100 suppliers on our Cosmetics Ingredients Platform in 2023.

Note: In 2023, we worked on improving our ranking method for supplier popularity. The new method relates to the popularity on our Platform Material Selector as compared to global supplier popularity. We updated the method to reflect more accurately on the product popularity. As a result, your ranking may vary compared to last year's communications. However, we recalculated your positioning in a way to provide you with your real rank and its change from 2022 based on the new method.
