    On International Beauty Day, let's take a moment to celebrate and reflect on the concept of 'beauty', a term that is used in various contexts and is subjective to each individual. 🌸 We asked our colleagues at OQEMA to define what 'beauty' means to them, and their responses continued to inspire us for days! Let us know in the comments what is something beautiful that you have recently seen or experienced? #OQEMA #InternationalBeautyDay

In celebration of Beard Day, we are focusing on beard care by creating innovative products that aim to soothe, moisturize, and address inflammation. We are excited to present four distinct formulations tailored to meet the varied needs of your customers. 🧔 1️⃣ Beard Serum A lightweight formula that stimulates hair follicles for enhanced growth and density while delivering deep hydration and a cooling effect, perfect for achieving a fuller, healthier beard. 2️⃣ Beard Oil A nourishing blend of natural oils that conditions, reduces frizz, and restructures the beard while moisturizing and soothing the skin. 3️⃣ Shave Cream Our rich shave cream is packed with emollients and anti-irritant ingredients that create a protective barrier for a smooth, comfortable shave, reducing redness and leaving the skin feeling refreshed. 4️⃣ Beard Wash A gentle, oil-free formula that uses mild surfactants to cleanse the beard, enriched with soothing chamomile and green tea extracts to leave the hair refreshed and nourished. In the world of personal care, innovation and quality are paramount.

    During this Zero Waste Week, we’re proud to share one of the impactful ways we’re advancing towards a more sustainable future. ♻ Our partnership with Mauser Packaging Solutions has been instrumental in rethinking how we manage our Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). In 2023 alone, we successfully collected and reconditioned 6,691 IBCs, preventing them from becoming waste. By reusing instead of relying solely on new packaging, we’ve made significant strides in reducing our environmental footprint. 🌍 This is just one example of how we are constantly innovating and expanding our efforts to reduce waste and minimise our environmental impact. As we continue on this journey, we remain committed to finding new ways to drive sustainability forward and ensure that zero waste is a reality. #OQEMA #ZeroWasteWeek #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #CraftingSustainableSolutions

    #Feedstock plays a key role in shaping our Scope 3 emissions, particularly for purchased goods and end-of-life emissions. Recognizing this, we're proactively exploring strategies to optimize our feedstock choices for improved #sustainability through our reduce program. This is just one of our areas of focus as we shift towards bio-based or circular raw materials. #OQChemicals
