Founded in 2013, B&SENS was born from a clear vision : to offer high-quality cosmetic ingredients that revolutionize our clients formulations.
WHEN WAS CREATED B&SENS ?
Our company B&SENS initially focused on the production of finished cosmetic products. However, recognizing our true strengths and core expertise, we quickly refocused our business towards our specialty: the formulation and manufacturing of cosmetic ingredients. This specialization allows us to leverage our in-depth knowledge in developing innovative and effective ingredients, aimed at enhancing the quality of cosmetic products on the market.
HOW THE IDEA OF B&SENS COME ABOUT ?
The guiding principle behind the creation of our company was to forge a distinctly European identity, both in terms of innovation and supply chain management. We considered it essential to prioritize sourcing primarily from France and Europe, reflecting our commitment to quality and traceability.
France is recognized for its excellence in the cosmetics field. It is home to prestigious schools that train the talents of tomorrow and a dynamic ecosystem composed of innovative SMEs as well as major industrial groups, both upstream and downstream of the sector. It is this wealth of unique expertise that we wish to highlight through our products, ensuring cosmetics that combine effectiveness, safety, and environmental responsibility.
WHAT TYPES OF PRODUCTS DO WE OFFER?
At B&SENS, we develop and produce high-value ingredients, specifically designed to support formulators in creating innovative and effective cosmetic formulas. Our expertise is focused on three key areas : active ingredients, formulation aids, and specialty colorants.
WHAT ABOUT THE QUALITY ?
At B&SENS, the quality of our products is at the heart of our strategy. Since January 2024, we have been operating from our new production site located in Tigery, in the Essonne region, on the outskirts of Paris. This modern facility has been specifically outfitted to meet the strictest safety standards and the highest quality standards required for the manufacture of cosmetic ingredients.
In our ongoing quest for excellence, we aim to obtain ISO 9001 certification by 2025 for our production site. This certification will attest to our ability to provide products and services that not only meet our customers’ expectations but also comply with current international regulations.
WHAT ABOUT THE CEO ?
« I hold a DESS degree in chemistry, specializing in formulation and surface treatment. After gaining substantial experience working for a leader in the production of cosmetic ingredients, I spent ten years in a key role within the export sales department. This enriching period allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the international dynamics of the cosmetics market. Driven by a desire to innovate and meet specific consumer needs, I decided to take a new step by founding my own company. » Laurent THEVENOT
