Cornelius is pleased to announce a new distribution partnership with Wheatoleo, a leading French manufacturer of sustainable ingredients, to bring its personal care portfolio to customers across the UK and Ireland.
This partnership expands Cornelius’ personal care offering with Wheatoleo’s range of green, ultra-mild surfactants and bio-based ingredients, designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance, sustainable formulations.
Wheatoleo specialises in 100% bio-based ingredients, developed through green chemistry and derived from renewable feedstocks including sugars, vegetable oils, and upcycled agricultural sources. These materials deliver a balance of performance, mildness, and sustainability, supporting formulators in creating next-generation personal care products.
The portfolio includes a broad range of surfactants, emulsifiers, solubilisers, emollients, and active ingredients, offering excellent cleansing, foaming, and sensory performance while remaining non-sulphated, EO/PEG-free, and readily biodegradable.
Wheatoleo has been awarded an EcoVadis Platinum rating (Top 1%) in August 2025, recognising its leadership in sustainability, responsible sourcing, and environmentally conscious manufacturing.
Operating at the heart of a French biorefinery, Wheatoleo integrates circular economy principles, including biomass conversion, waste valorisation, and reduced carbon emissions, contributing to a lower environmental footprint across its product range.
Through this partnership, Cornelius will provide customers with local technical support, formulation expertise, and access to a high-quality, sustainable ingredient portfolio tailored for modern personal care applications, including skin care, hair care, and hygiene.
