"Our exclusive partnership with Best Value Chem underscores our commitment to offering best-in-class specialty ingredients to the sun care market. Best Value Chem's continued investment in research and development, coupled with its strong focus on environmental responsibility, aligns with our values and desires to help customers create impactful and responsible products."
