Greece possesses a robust tradition in the production of olive-oil based cosmetics, but the modern demand for mass-market Cosmetics has shifted toward high-foaming agents. The local market relies heavily on imported high-purity raw materials to maintain EU quality standards.
Due to the Mediterranean climate and the thriving tourism sector, there is a consistent peak in demand for hotel-grade toiletries and sun-care products. This requires a stable supply of surfactant materials that can maintain stability under varying temperature conditions during storage and transport.
The Greek manufacturing sector is currently transitioning toward more sustainable sourcing. However, the economic necessity for cost-effective, high-concentration materials like SLES 70% remains the cornerstone for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in Athens and Thessaloniki.
