Stephenson, a leading innovator and manufacturer of beauty and personal care products and ingredients, has announced a strategic European distribution partnership with Brenntag Gmbh (‘Brenntag’), the global leader in chemical and ingredient distribution.
The agreement will see Brenntag exclusively distribute the Stephenson range of Durosoft polyglyceryl esters, a versatile and sustainable line of emulsifiers, solubilisers, and emollients.
The agreement marks a major milestone for both companies as Stephenson gains a powerful distribution ally with deep market reach and technical expertise. Conversely, the agreement enables Brenntag to enhance its product portfolio with high-performance, naturally derived alternatives to synthetic ingredients. This aligns with both companies’ strong commitment to sustainability and innovation in life sciences.
“This collaboration enables us to deliver multi-functional, plant-based ingredients to a broader European market,” said Rob Carr, Managing Director of Stephenson. “The expertise and market presence of Brenntag make them an ideal partner to support our mission of helping brands create sustainable and impactful products.”
Formulated to meet the growing demand for clean eco-conscious formulations, Durosoft offers high-performance emulsification for skin and haircare formulations, while supporting natural and organic claims.
“The Durosoft range is an exciting addition to our beauty and personal care portfolio,” says Patrick Koch of Brenntag. “It reflects our dedication to providing innovative, sustainable ingredients and products to brands and their formulators and manufacturers across Europe, enabling them to deliver impactful results to even more consumers."
Together, Stephenson and Brenntag are poised to accelerate innovation in the beauty and personal care space – empowering brands with effective, ethical and environmentally responsible ingredient solutions.
