Univar Solutions Strengthens Personal Care Ingredients Portfolio with Strategic Sun Care Expansion in Brazil
“We are incredibly excited to collaborate with Best Value Chem. As their exclusive distributor in Brazil, we look forward to introducing their innovative, high-performance ultraviolet (UV) filters to local manufacturers,” said Jorge Buckup, president of Latin America for Univar Solutions. “Meaningful supplier partnerships like this strengthen our efficient market penetration and demonstrate our deep commitment to customers. We are working to provide easier access to high-quality ingredients and local technical support, while increasing their speed to market and enabling more innovative solutions to reach consumers seeking exceptional sun protection.”
Sun protection is essential in beauty and personal care, and UV filters – designed to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation from the sun, are key components in sunscreens and other skincare products. The new agreement elevates the Ingredients + Specialties from Univar Solutions portfolio for Brazil's thriving personal care industry, adding products such as BVSUN® – a state-of-the-art UV defense – to its high-performance sun protection solutions.
“Univar Solutions' broad market reach, deep technical expertise, and unwavering dedication to customer service make them the ideal partner to extend the availability of our BVSUN products,” said Ravish Patel, general manager of business development for Best Value Chem. “This exclusive partnership will undoubtedly help drive the growth of the sun care industry in Brazil.”
