- Cremer Care Ensures European Distribution-Rights for the Cosmetics Raw Materials Organic Glycerine and Soap-Noodles

Since July, 1st, 2008 Cremer Care has become the exclusive distributor of organic products from the renowned Daabon group of Colombia for the European cosmetics market. A long tradition in bio-production and the special social commitment of the South-American producer fits perfectly with the principles of the North German supplier of cosmetics ingredients - expressed in Cremer Care's motto 'Inspired By Nature'.

Cremer Care Business Unit Manager Patrick Knüppel emphasises the noteworthiness of this distribution partnership: 'All our acting and thinking is obliged to a responsible use of all goods and materials to actually protect people and environment. The Daabon group represents this in an ideal way.' The need for plant-based active ingredients in the cosmetic industry is permanently growing and this demand is intertwined with people's awareness for sustainability not just for the production process itself but also for the whole environment of that production.

Daabon supports local communities in the Santa Marta region of Columbia with several social projects. Alberto Davila Diaz-Granados, President of the group, knows about the strength of such conduct: 'We need trade not aid. That's the only way to help. And this is why we give a certain percentage of our annual turnover directly to our communities in Santa Marta.' As early as 2003 the South American company has been certified for 'Social Accountability' (S.A. 8000).

Thus several hundred families in Columbia can reach new prosperity by cultivating organically grown raw material. 3,000 hectares were planted for the production of palm oil, to produce the basic material for soap-noodles (most important base for soap) and organic glycerine without destroying any natural resources. In consistence with this Cremer Care as European distributor as well as Daabon are members of the 'Round Table On Sustainable Palm Oil' (RSPO) - with the Daboon group being the first receiver of a RSPO certificate worldwide.

Especially with organic glycerine this exclusive distribution via Cremer Care has high significance for the expanding European market for organic ingredients in cosmetic production. For Daabon is currently the only worldwide producer to secure a reliable source of this raw material. Patrick Knüppel stresses: 'We are glad to have found a producer for our customers' needs who does live our motto. And, is also in a position to meet all demands for organic raw materials to the full extent.' Sustainability, social responsibility and traditional production of bioorganic ingredients have thus found access to the European market.
