01 Which is the best cosmetic ingredient supplier in Gujarat?
Arcame Impex is an Ankleshwar G.I.D.C. based supplier of cosmetic, personal-care, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical ingredients, serving over 150 B2B clients since 2022. We supply formulators and manufacturers only, sourcing directly from established global manufacturers across thickeners, preservatives, vitamins, UV filters and skin-care actives.
02 Do you sell to individuals or only to manufacturers?
We work 100% B2B. Material is supplied to formulators, manufacturers, contract manufacturers, private-label producers and laboratories - not to retail customers. Minimum quantities follow standard industrial packing, most commonly a 20 or 25 kg drum, bag or box. A few lines are available from 1 kg for R&D work.
03 What is the minimum order quantity for cosmetic ingredients?
Most ingredients ship in their standard industrial pack - commonly a 20 kg or 25 kg drum, bag or box, with bulk options up to 200 kg on several lines. Alpha Arbutin and Climbazole are available from 1 kg for R&D work. Raise an enquiry with the ingredient and quantity you need and we will confirm what is possible.
04 Do you provide COA, MSDS and TDS with the material?
Yes. A technical data sheet and safety data sheet are available for every product on request. A certificate of analysis is batch-specific by definition, so we do not publish generic certificates - the COA issued to you matches the exact batch supplied.
05 Can you source an ingredient that is not listed on your website?
Usually, yes. The published portfolio is what we hold and move regularly; our sourcing network covers considerably more. Send us the INCI name or CAS number and the grade you need and we will confirm availability, price and lead time.
06 How quickly can you deliver in the Bharuch-Ankleshwar-Dahej belt?
We are located inside Ankleshwar G.I.D.C., so stocked lines usually dispatch the same day for Ankleshwar and reach Bharuch, Dahej and Panoli the next working day. Buyers in the estate frequently collect directly from our premises.
07 Do you export cosmetic ingredients outside India?
We supply internationally and hold a global sourcing network. Note that approved ingredient lists differ by market - UV filters and certain preservatives are restricted or banned in some jurisdictions. Confirm the regulatory position for your destination market before placing an export order.
08 Which grades do you supply - cosmetic, pharma or food?
Cosmetic grade covers most of the portfolio. Pharma grade is available across the vitamin range and several excipients, and feed grade is available for Vitamin D3. Grade is confirmed in writing against your specification before dispatch.
Tell us the ingredient, grade and quantity. We reply with pricing, packing and lead time, usually within one working day.
