Business Overview
- Portuguese wholesale distributor of cosmetics and personal care products with nearly three decades of operating history and a strong presence across the domestic market.
- Supplies affordable colour cosmetics, skincare, personal care products, and seasonal gift sets to approximately 400 recurring B2B customers, including independent perfumeries, pharmacies, beauty retailers, and selected national retail chains.
- Generates revenue through wholesale distribution margins on recurring replenishment orders, new product launches, and seasonal sales programmes.
- Maintains a diversified customer base with low client concentration, providing stable recurring business and reducing dependence on any single customer.

- Operates from a leased warehouse and office facility in Sesimbra with dedicated storage, order processing, administration, and dispatch capabilities.

- The business generates high revenue with a lean team by outsourcing manufacturing and logistics, leveraging established distribution partners, and focusing on high-value wholesale and export orders rather than labour-intensive retail operations.
- The business has a business registration certificate.
