COSMETICS & PERSONAL CARE
Barbera del Valles (Barcelona), Spain · Established 1979
Nature and science, captured in every ingredient.
Provital has more than four decades of experience developing cosmetic active ingredients and botanical extracts, supported by in-house R&D, formulation, toxicology, analytical and regulatory affairs capabilities. The regulatory affairs team supports product-specific regulatory, compliance and claim-related enquiries directly at manufacturer level
The company operates two core ranges. CareActives is Provital's range of high-efficacy cosmetic active ingredients, supported by product-specific in vitro, ex vivo and/or in vivo study data, where applicable. CareMotives are natural botanic extracts, organised into sub-families each targeting a distinct formulation need. Both are complemented by BE TECH, Company's innovation platform supporting the development of new ingredient concepts and technologies.
- Cosmetics & Personal Care
Over 400 mineral salts and more than 7,000 specifications. The specification count is the more meaningful number: it is the measure of how far a grade can be tailored.
ABOUT THIS PRINCIPAL
Four decades of botanical actives, with the science department attached.
Founded in 1979, Provital has developed its international presence over more than four decades, with operations and commercial presence across key markets in Europe, the Americas and Asia. The company continues to invest in innovation, research and development, and customer support for the cosmetics industry.
Provital's technical and scientific capabilities are supported by in-house R&D, formulation, toxicology, analytical and regulatory expertise.R&D, formulation, toxicology, analytical support and regulatory affairs are supported in-house, providing customers with product-specific technical, safety, efficacy and regulatory documentation for applicable CareActives products.
CareMotives, the botanic extract range, is organised into sub-families including OilyCares, ImagineCares, VitaCares, SparkCares and EcoCares, each addressing a distinct formulation requirement rather than presenting extracts as an undifferentiated list.
An in-house regulatory affairs department changes the relationship. Compliance questions get answered by the people who made the material, not relayed through a distributor to a mailbox.
ADCHEM distributes the Provital range with formulation integration and claim review from our own laboratories, so a CareActives selection arrives as a tested prototype with the substantiation position already checked against your target market.
