Who We Serve
- Skincare and haircare brand owners building actives-led product lines.
- Independent and indie beauty formulators sourcing botanical and specialty actives.
- Contract manufacturers building cosmetic, personal-care, and topical-supplement products.
- Functional cosmetic (“nutricosmetic” / ingestible beauty) formulators bridging the supplement and skincare categories.
What Cosmetic Formulators Care About
- INCI naming — the active must show up correctly on a cosmetic label.
- Solubility behavior in oil, water, and emulsion phases.
- Color, odor, and pH — these define whether the ingredient can actually disappear into a finished formula.
- Preservative compatibility and microbial control.
- Origin and certification — natural, organic, vegan, cruelty-free, sustainable.
GCI’s Branded Ingredients with Cosmetic Applications
- HumicSure™ — humic and fulvic acid complex, with documented use in topical and cosmetic applications by our manufacturing partner. The fulvic fraction is water-soluble; the humic fraction is alkaline-soluble.
- Olivir™ — standardized olive leaf extract carrying oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, both well-documented antioxidants relevant to skincare formulations.
- GeOxy-132™ — bis-carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide, with a history of use in topical and cosmetic applications in Asian markets.
- RhodiolaSure™ — adaptogen for the growing “stress-resilient skin” segment in nutricosmetics and serums.
Common Companion Ingredients in Our Range
Plant-derived antioxidants, peptides, hyaluronic acid, marine botanicals, and a broad range of standardized plant extracts. INCI documentation available on request.
Common Formulation Challenges We Help With
- Adding a humic/fulvic positioning to a clay mask, serum, or topical product.
- Building an antioxidant positioning around olive leaf without resorting to commodity-grade material.
- Bridging a skincare line into ingestible beauty (nutricosmetic) without building two separate supply chains.
- Documenting INCI, COA, and certification for retailer onboarding.
Common Dosage Formats
Serums, lotions, creams, masks, cleansers, hair treatments, scalp serums, body care, and ingestible-beauty (nutricosmetic) capsules and gummies that pair with topical lines.
Regulatory & Quality Posture
Cosmetic formulators have their own regulatory frame. GCI’s documentation set includes:
- INCI name and CAS number on the spec sheet.
- Cosmetic-grade specification where required.
- Current COA per lot.
- Allergen and origin declarations.
