Horn partners to distribute Bayliss Botanicals’ organic ingredients

North America distributor of specialty ingredients, chemicals and raw materials Horn Company is to distribute Bayliss Botanical’s certified organic ingredients through its Horn Care Elements business unit.

Horn Care Elements serves several markets such as personal care, cosmetics, consumer care and household, as well as industrial and institutional cleaning (HI&I).

Certified by US Department of Agriculture (USDA), NSF International, Ecocert and COSMOS, Bayliss Botanicals’ organic ingredients are produced by steam distilling of newly harvested crops through a proprietary process that protects the original purity and integrity of the chemical structure.

Produced and grown within the US on a family run farm for 150 years, the Bayliss Botanicals’ ingredients undergo purity tests before being made available commercially.

Horn specialties division president Jeff Martin said: "A matriarch of certified organic standards, Bayliss Botanicals championed for real ingredients in personal care and cosmetics products, and has been a pioneer in California farming since the 1860s.

"The heritage that Bayliss brings to Horn elevates our expertise in organics and helps our technical sales team offer an edge on market trends.

"This partnership translates to greater service capabilities, a broader range of options for our customers and a platform to introduce Bayliss to parallel markets we already serve."

Founded in 1961, the company’s specialised market segments include six distribution business units – Care Elements, FoodTech, Nutraceuticals, Animal Wellness, Coatings and Building Materials and Advanced Materials.

Bayliss Botanicals owner and chief executive officer Donna Bayliss said: "Together, we are positioned to leverage the specialised strengths of each company and provide customers with quality ingredients."
