FROM ORIGINS TO TODAY

Dear Customer,

First of all, we, Maycos Italiana, would like to thank you for the interest you have shown in our company. Our mission is to offer the cosmetic market natural, skin-friendly, products, without ignoring performance.

After years of experience in international chemical and cosmetic companies, Maycos Italiana was established in 1983 in Castiglione delle Stiviere (Mantua, Italy). This is still where our R&D laboratories, commercial offices and registered headquarters are located.

Our innovative production plant and quality labs are located in Montichiari (Brescia, Italy). The plant has extensive manufacturing capacity thanks to a brand new automated system. Here we produce a wide variety of raw materials for the Personal Care, Cosmetics and Household Detergent Industries.

Thanks to the synergy of our headquarters, customers and distributors, Maycos Italiana has established durable business relationships with Italian, European, Middle East and Asian companies.

OUR VISION

At Maycos, we aim to create an innovative spirit that does not just live on claim marketing without a solid scientific foundation. In our opinion, a Lauryl Ether Sulphate cannot be considered natural because, although derived from coconut oil, it is promptly ethoxylated and sulfonated, likewise PEG Sweet Almond Oil which is subjected to polyethoxylation.

Therefore, in Maycos we see a cosmetic market whose products are and will be truly natural, skin and body-friendly, without losing performance at all.

On the contrary, the performance efficiency that had to be previously renounced when compared with some synthetic ingredients is always one of the cornerstones of our research drivers.

In this way, we want to make our contribution to a world that must necessarily be more eco-sustainable, both in terms of sourcing and product lifecycle, with a special focus on biodegradability and compatibility.

With this Vision we have identified various product categories where our R&D has focused its work.

OUR MISSION

Highly qualified scientists and technicians, whose research projects focus on the study of new raw materials, run the innovative R&D center to develop the newest products and formulations: the main objective is to provide our customers with natural and biodegradable chemical intermediates for the cosmetics industry, always taking environmental health and safety into account. The organization and management of this internal structure ensures that Maycos Italiana can quickly meet the daily needs of our customers, offering high-tech formulation, innovative research and productive solutions.

Our goal is to support the customer throughout the entire formulation process, in order to produce cosmetics in line with the latest market trends, satisfying the demand of an informed and attentive consumer, with the highest degree of naturalness and without sacrificing maximum performance. Maycos has specialized in some specific product categories, where it has developed exclusive ingredients with a high rate of innovation and performance. Regarding the Personal Care Market, we are able to offer a wide, diversified and innovative range of surfactants, emulsifiers, solubilizers, viscosifiers and opacifiers.

In order to help you with your production processes, we have continuously asked ourselves: how can we provide our customers with easy and effective tools to formulate cosmetic products without modifying equipment, using third parties or building new reactors? You will find the answer to this and other daily questions by our technicians and within our product portfolio.

We are here to keep helping you solve tomorrow's problems and find solutions for your next challenges.
