11 WE RE MORE THAN GREEN ETHICAL TRADE Alongside the rise in consumer demand for natural beauty products, ethical trade considerations are increasingly taking centre stage on the market.

ORGANIC CERTIFICATION AND ETHICAL TRADE AND ARE IMPORTANT TO HERRCO COSMETICS ETHOS AND OUR CUSTOMERS.

13 SCIENTIFIC PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT THE MARKETS WE WORK IN ARE EVER CHANGING, SO CREATING HIGH PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR ETHOS To thrive and prosper, we have compiled a dedicated team of formulation chemists and laboratory technicians who take great pride in the research and development involved in creating new and inventive formulae which utilise active ingredients. Specialising in creating high performance products is an integral part of Herrco Cosmetics ethos. From facial serums that retail for triple figures, containing the most contemporary and effective anti-aging active ingredients, to supermarket shower scrubs, we guarantee that all our products are of the very highest quality and function. HERRCO COSMETICS BROCHURE PAGE 13

14 SCIENTIFIC PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CLEVER FORMULATING Across the natural beauty spectrum, it is common for many cosmetics to harness free-from claims by avoiding particular raw materials. Whether it be parabens, sulphates, animal ingredients or mineral oils, our chemists can competently formulate to avoid ingredients without compromising on product performance. One of the areas Herrco Cosmetics excel is in the plethora of excellent anhydrous (containing no water) products that we have formulated. These work in tandem with gentler natural preservatives which support the natural antimicrobial effects already embedded within exfoliates and oils. By creating outstanding nonwater based products, the products eliminate and negate the presence of synthetic preservatives throughout cosmetics regimes. HERRCO COSMETICS BROCHURE PAGE 14

15 AWARD-WINNING WE DEVELOP MANY AWARD-WINNING FORMULATIONS IN NATURAL, BOTANICAL AND ORGANIC PRODUCTS. At Herrco Cosmetics, our company ethos includes developing organic and natural ranges that can compete with, and even outperform, products from the non-natural sector by firmly utilising the active properties infused within botanical ingredients. As such, many of our formulations have gone on to win prestigious awards in the cosmetics sector. Our formulations have received awards, including 2014 s Beauty Insider s Choice CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women) awards, known informally as the Beauty Oscars, and the Pure Beauty and Natural Health awards.
