We are delighted to share some fantastic news—our EcoVadis qualification has been upgraded from Gold to Platinum , placing us in the top 1% of companies globally!

This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainability, ethical practices, and delivering high-quality, eco-conscious solutions to our customers.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our entire team for their hard work and dedication. This milestone would not have been possible without everyone’s contributions. A special mention, however, must go to Kirsty Mitchell, who spearheaded this effort with remarkable dedication and resilience. Achieving this standard required countless hours of meticulous work, and Kirsty’s efforts have been pivotal in making it happen.

EcoVadis is the world's largest and most trust provider of business sustainability ratings, with a global network of more than 125,000 rated companies.

The EcoVadis score is a numerical representation (ranging from 0 to 100) that measures the quality of a company's sustainability management system. During assessment, companies are scored on the following themes: environment, ethics, labour & human rights, and sustainable procurement.

Once a company undergoes the EcoVadis assessment and showcases a robust management system addressing key sustainability criteria, they have the chance to earn EcoVadis Medals (and now badges as introduced in 2024). These accolades serve as a stamp of approval, recognising businesses that are making strides in the realm of sustainability.

We are incredibly proud to have achieved a Platinum sustainability rating. Thank you for being part of our journey as we continue to raise the bar for sustainability in the chemical industry.

Winter Skincare from Kahl

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 16:44:50 GMT

KEEP SKIN HEALTHY AND HYDRATED IN COLD WEATHER

When temperatures drop and the air turns drier, our skin requires extra care to stay healthy and balanced.

Winter's harsh conditions can lead to dehydration, redness, tightness, flaking, and overall discomfort. To combat these challenges, winter skincare formulations should include ingredients that create an occlusive and deeply moisturizing barrier, helping to prevent trans epidermal water loss (TEWL).

Our supplier, Kahl , has developed an insightful flyer showcasing how their natural waxes can enhance winter skincare products, offering effective protection and hydration. Click the button below to download the flyer and read more.

Why September is Crucial for Christmas Manufacturing

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 14:14:42 GMT

Planning ahead for the festive period is essential, especially for businesses relying on raw materials like waxes, fatty acids , and esters. Ordering stock in advance helps avoid supply chain disruptions and ensures timely production of your products for Christmas, avoiding last minute stresses. This is particularly important given the increased demand for candles, cosmetics, and personal care products during the holiday season.

Meeting Increased Demand:

Christmas drives a surge in demand across several industries, particularly those that depend on chemical ingredients for production. Whether you're manufacturing candles, personal care products, or cosmetics, the holiday season typically sees a significant spike in consumer purchases. By securing your raw materials early, you ensure that you can meet this increased demand without the risk of running out of stock. This is especially true for high-demand items like soy wax for candles or specialised esters used in skincare products.

Avoiding Supply Chain Disruptions:

Delays in shipping, shortages in raw materials, and logistical challenges can all contribute to potential disruptions. By placing your orders as early as September, you give yourself a buffer against these uncertainties. Restocking well before peak season reduces the risk of unexpected delays that could impact your production schedules.

Taking Advantage of Early Pricing:

Prices for raw materials often increase as demand grows closer to Christmas. Ordering in advance can lock in more favourable and profitable pricing before costs rise due to heightened demand. Securing your materials early also allows you to plan and budget more effectively, giving you a clearer picture of your production costs for the season.

Supporting Sustainability and Innovation:

H Foster is committed to providing sustainable and innovative chemical solutions. For industries focused on eco-friendly products, such as natural cosmetics or biodegradable candles, early ordering ensures you have access to the latest sustainable materials. Whether it's a new type of biodegradable wax or eco-friendly Kahl Resin, early planning allows you to incorporate these innovations into your Christmas offerings and products.

Key Industries Impacted:

Candles and Home Fragrance: The holiday season sees a surge in demand for festive candles, which are popular as both gifts and home decor items.
Cosmetics and Personal Care: Christmas gift sets and special holiday editions drive up the need for esters, fatty acids, and other ingredients.
Food and Beverages: Known for the time of year for sweet treats and full bellies, food-grade additives and acids are essential for creating festive treats and beverages.

By planning ahead, you ensure a smooth production process, all while meeting customer demands, and taking advantage of cost efficiencies. Don’t wait until the last minute—prepare now to make the most of the festive season!

6290 Berry Wax KAHL Speciality Waxes

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 14:11:43 GMT

6290 Berry KahlWax is a low-melting, soft wax with a velvet, powdery skin feel and is derived from berry fruit peels of Rhus Verniciflua. It is an outstanding pay-off enhancer for stick and pencil preparations and gives O/W emulsions a mousse-like, whipped cream texture.

Because a significant part of this wax melts at temperatures below 30 °C, Berry Wax has a very silky and soft skin feel, comparable to a classic emollient. Additionally, it’s an excellent additive for oleogels, is suitable for lip gloss formulations and mascaras and works as an outstanding pay-off enhancer in lip products and pencils. Berry Wax also produces very soft textures and significantly improves the sensory characteristics of O/W emulsions. Although it’s soft, it can also enhance and stabilise structures of other crystallising materials and improve break resistance in stick preparations.

KahlWax 6290 Berry is very versatile and improves the sensory properties of cosmetic formulations. In O/W emulsions, it leads to super soft, smooth and silky skin feel and creates creamy textures even at low levels. It makes creams whiter and reduces the droplet size which has a positive influence on stability.

The Benefits of Stearic Acid in Everyday Products

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 10:30:00 GMT

What is Stearic Acid?

Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid found in animal and vegetable fats that can be used for a wide variety of products and applications. Practically insoluble in water, its functions are as a lubricant, binder and defoamer. It can also be used in a number of skincare and cosmetic applications to thicken the end product and bind the ingredients together.

We have listed a number of applications and benefits that come with the introduction and use of Stearic Acids in everyday products such as creams, lotions and facial products.

Applications & Benefits

Cosmetics and Personal Care:

Stabilising Agent: Helps stabilise and thicken creams and lotions, ensuring a smooth and consistent texture.

Emulsifier: Aids in mixing water and oil, helping create uniform and long-lasting products.

Cleansing Agent: Contributes to the soap's hardness and lathering properties, providing effective cleansing as well as a rich and velvety lather.

Moisturising: Adds a moisturising effect, making soaps gentle on the skin.

Candles

Hardening Agent: Used to harden candles, making them burn longer and maintain their shape.

Improved Scent Throw: It enhances the fragrance released in scented candles.

Plastics & Rubber

Lubricant: Acts as a lubricant and release agent in the production of plastics and rubber , improving mould release and product finish.

Stabiliser: It stabilises formulations, ensuring durability and performance of the final product.

Leather Production:

Softness and Flexibility: Acts as a conditioning agent in leather production, helping soften the leather, making it more pliable and easier to work with.

Water Resistance: Stearic acid contributes to water repellency, protecting the leather from moisture and extending the lifespan of leather goods.

Smooth Finish: Helps achieve a smooth, polished surface on leather products when used in the finishing process.

Road Markings:

Durability: Enhances the durability of road marking paints and thermoplastics, ensuring that they remain visible and effective for longer periods.

Enhanced Adhesion: Road markings must adhere well to the asphalt or concrete surface. Stearic Acid improves the adhesion properties of road marking materials, preventing them from peeling off or fading prematurely.

Concrete:

Workability: Acting as a plasticiser in concrete mixtures, improving their workability, making it easier to pour and shape concrete.

Reduced Shrinkage: Concrete shrinkage during the curing process can lead to cracks and structural weaknesses. Stearic acid helps in reducing this shrinkage.

Durability: Enhances the durability of concrete structures by improving the resistance to environmental factors such as freeze-thaw cycles and chemical exposure.

Environmental & Health Considerations

Stearic acid is biodegradable and generally considered safe for use in consumer products. It is derived from natural sources, making it an eco-friendly and resourceful ingredient.

With naturally occurring thickening properties that can be used in a variety of different skincare, healthcare and other products, the addition of Stearic acid is widely used not only for being a natural emulsifier but also for being naturally sourced and eco-friendly.

Inside Sustainability: Super Suppliers and Sustainable Solutions

Fri, 09 Aug 2024 08:13:01 GMT

We are proud to be featured in the latest issue of Inside Sustainability where our MD & Owner Simon Eggar, Business development Manager & Owner Tom Eggar, and Office Manager Kirsty Mitchell sat down with Inside Sustainability to discuss super suppliers and sustainable solutions.

“As a family business, H Foster is strongly committed to helping companies that are starting out. "We welcome customers making soap in their kitchen right up to a company in the FTSE100,’” said Tom Eggar, Business Development Manager & Owner. In 2019, the company moved to offices in Goring-on-Thames, downsizing to reduce its carbon footprint. H Foster also has a warehouse in Leeds. The site has been used in some form since the company was founded, but there are plans to move to another facility run by renewable energy within the next two years”

“H Foster has a small team of 10 employees but also works closely alongside several consultancies. “We are a big believer in outsourcing certain functions and often work with QFactorial,” Simon Eggar explained. “Running up to Brexit, we also took on a company called Penman to help us navigate through UK REACH, which was replacing the European version. Working with consultants means when we need additional resources, we can continue to offer a professional service without any glitches in our supply chain.”

“The company recently achieved EcoVadis Gold Certification. Only 5% of the companies who apply to EcoVadis achieve Gold on their first certification. During the application Process H Foster found it was already ahead of the curve. “At first, the information that’s required to get the rating can seem daunting,” explained Office Manager Kirsty Mitchell. “But as we dug deeper, we realised we were meeting a lot of the conditions already, just not in the correct format. We weren’t sure what rating we were going to get, but were incredibly pleased, proud and surprised that the certification was gold.”

A Letter from the Chair

Fri, 19 Jan 2024 14:31:35 GMT

With a new year well underway, we wanted to stop and reflect on everything we achieved as a team during 2023, and the events that will shape the business moving forward.

In January 2023, Tom and I sat down and crafted a business plan for the year, beginning with tackling the longstanding beast in our business, which has been with us since our acquisition of H Foster in 2006. It's important to clarify that this "beast" is not a living entity but rather our accountancy software. In our wisdom, we also decided to introduce a new CRM in 2019. Unfortunately, the chosen system was not fit for purpose and, despite a considerable amount of time to the call centre, it has never worked effectively.

It was then that we made the decision to change software on both elements and, after a considerable amount of investigation, we identified a new system. However, the next problem was carrying the data over. Rolling the data over, warts and all, from the old to the new was not deemed to be a good idea, so we decided to input it all manually. No small task! Kirsty and Penny started first thing Saturday 1st July and worked flat out for 14 days to complete the task. All the while, H Foster continued to deliver an uninterrupted service.

The second major step we have achieved for the company is having a CSR report assembled. The report on our website lays out what we are about as an operation; our values and our vision as to how we see ourselves as an operation in the modern world. The CSR report led to us applying for an EcoVadis sustainability rating. In November, we received our certification and found out we had achieved GOLD, putting H Foster in the top 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis. This was very timely as it arrived just before SCS Formulate, the UK’s largest event of its kind, focusing on raw materials, ingredients and formulation services used in creating personal care and cosmetic products.

The SCS Formulate show was great, we were incredibly pleased with the booth. It was an important show for us as we were launching an exciting new range of botanical Cellular Extracts from Australia’s leading phyto-tech company, NATIVE EXTRACTS , that has evolved the botanical extract industry and natural ingredient category over the last decade. Lisa Carroll, Innovator & CEO of NATIVE EXTRACTS and I had agreed that H Foster would be their distributor and route to market in the UK. NATIVE EXTRACTS and H Foster 1875 share a very similar ethos; we are both family businesses, committed to eco-conscious manufacturing practices and quality processes with an emphasis on service delivery. We are very excited to work with Lisa’s company and bring their expertise and ground-breaking natural ingredient innovations to the UK market. This will have a considerable impact on brands creating new points of difference in the UK market, both in the short term and also in the longer term, with the projects NATIVE EXTRACTS are working on.

This partnership represents the introduction to the UK market of over 400 cosmetic ingredients that harness the natural molecules from a botanical’s cells, including an unprecedented library of Australian Native botanical powerhouses, along with presenting a “new look” at the natural molecules their flagship Cellular Extraction protocols can offer the UK market on the traditional and popular botanical extracts. We will be showing UK brands how they can refresh existing extracts with more clean and conscious innovations that support their pursuit in True to Nature cosmetic ingredients that considers eco-conscious manufacturing practises, inclusivity with First Nation growers in the supply chain, and transparency for brands to champion new stories for the future.

As Tom has said to me, 2023 was a reset year for the company and we both look forward very much to 2024. Thank you for being on this exciting journey with us.

Simon Eggar,

Chairman & Managing Director

Benefits of Oleic Acids

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 12:06:32 GMT

Selecting chemical components for various applications requires insight into their benefits and compatibility with your products. Oleic acid , offered by H Foster, a leading UK supplier in the chemical supply industry, stands out for its remarkable properties. Let's delve into the specific benefits that make oleic acid an indispensable ingredient in a multitude of sectors.

A Tradition in Cosmetics

Oleic acid has been used for centuries in traditional cosmetic practices . Its applications range from skin moisturising to the treatment of burns, psoriasis, and eczema, showcasing its versatility and effectiveness in skin health and repair.

Moisturising and Skin Penetration

Oleic acid excels in skin care. It replenishes moisture and soothes irritated skin, making it a prime ingredient in anti-ageing serums, heavy moisturisers, and replenishing creams. Its ability to penetrate the skin effectively allows it to transport and improve the efficacy of other skincare ingredients.

Benefits for Dry Skin

For those with dry skin, oleic acid offers significant benefits. Its presence in various oils makes it a staple in facial oils, where its moisturising properties can be fully utilised. This is due to its quick absorption into the skin, helping to retain moisture and relieve dryness.

Nutritional Health Benefits

Consuming oleic acid offers significant nutritional benefits that support heart health and contribute to a healthy diet. Its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to fight free radical damage are key reasons why oleic acid is beneficial in our diets.

10 Key Buying Decisions for Paraffin Wax

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 12:28:11 GMT

We know that when making buying decisions for paraffin wax , there are several factors to consider to ensure you select the right specification for your specific needs. These factors can vary depending on the intended use of the paraffin wax. Here are our top 10 considerations which we help clients with on a regular basis (if you’d like any guidance, please contact us ):

Grade

Paraffin wax comes in various grades. Higher-grade paraffin wax is typically more expensive but may be necessary for specific applications like food or pharmaceuticals . Consider the grade required for your application.

Melting Point

Paraffin wax comes in different melting point ranges. The choice of melting point depends on the intended use, such as candle making, cosmetics, or industrial applications. Make sure to select a melting point that suits your purpose.

Colour

Some applications, like candle making , may require specific colours or dyes. We supply Paraffin wax in an uncoloured form, so you are free to adapt it to your unique aesthetic and/or branding requirements.

Odour

Paraffin wax can have a slight odour, which can vary depending on the grade and source. Some applications, such as cosmetics , may require odourless paraffin wax, while others may not be as sensitive to this factor.

Source and Certification

Ensure that the paraffin wax is always sourced from reputable suppliers and that it meets relevant industry standards. For specific applications like food, pharmaceuticals, or cosmetics, certification may be necessary to meet regulatory requirements. As experts in our field, we can help with this as required.

Quantity and Packaging

Consider the quantity of paraffin wax you need, as well as the packaging options available. Bulk options (where we specialise) are often more cost-effective for industrial applications, while smaller, consumer-sized packages may be suitable for hobbies like candle making. For smaller, independent orders, see our sister site www.1875.co.uk , which offers a minimum order quantity of just 1kg.
