A Royal Occasion

One of this month's standout moments was seeing Caroline represent Alchemy at St James's Palace following our King's Award for Enterprise in International Trade success. Having the opportunity to meet His Majesty King Charles III was a memorable and proud moment, not only for Caroline but for the entire Alchemy team. 

The award reflects the hard work, expertise and commitment of colleagues, as well as the valued support of our partners and distributors around the world.

Bringing Our Labs Together

After months of training others on Alchemy products, the lab team packed their lab coats and headed to Porto to spend a few days on the other side of the classroom, learning from Elementis' R&D experts. 

The visit was a fantastic opportunity to strengthen connections, share knowledge, and gain a deeper understanding of the science and innovation behind the wider Elementis portfolio.

Marketing Unite

Now part of one team, marketing colleagues from Alchemy, Elementis Personal Care and Elementis Coatings came together in Porto for the first time to share ideas, insights and plans for the future. 

It was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about each other's activities, exchange knowledge, and explore how we can work more closely together moving forward.

Sweet Collaboration Success

One of this month's most exciting collaborations saw Alchemy and Elementis combine their expertise to create something completely new: the Strawberry Latte Night Lip Mask. 

The prototype, featuring ingredients from both the Alchemy and Elementis portfolio showcased how combining knowledge, ingredient technologies, and fresh perspectives can lead to innovative ideas - and a lot of fun!

Sharing Knowledge, Building Partnerships

Shivani and Aisha traveled to Cologne to deliver product training for our distributor partner, OQEMA. Over two days of combining theory sessions with hands-on lab activities, it was a great opportunity to share expertise, strengthen relationships, and support our partners.

The trip didn't stop there, with Shivani continuing to visit customers alongside Moritz, helping to build even stronger connections in the market.

Collaboration in Action

Alia joined Moritz on a series of customer visits across the UK, showcasing both the Alchemy and Elementis portfolios. 

A key focus of the conversations was formulation stability and suncare innovation, where the team were able to demonstrate how our combined expertise can help develop products that deliver both performance and consumer appeal.
