ORIZI Group Opens Its Ingredient Library and 60+ Global Principal Network

ORIZI Group has opened its ingredient library to brand owners: a hub with three category pages of featured actives, plus a directory of 64 global raw material principals and certified ingredient options on the sourcing page.

Key takeaways

• The ingredient library went live on 12 October 2026 as one hub and three category pages, with three highlights per category on the hub.
• 36 actives are featured: 15 skincare and cosmetic, 16 functional food and nutraceutical, and 5 home and personal care, each tagged Award, Patented, In Use or Special.
• The Raw Material Sourcing & Trading page lists 64 principals in four groups, plus certified organic, non-GMO, vegan and RSPO ingredient options.
• Both pages are a curated selection: formulators work with a wider range of raw materials on each project.
• Choosing an active is a regulatory and halal decision before it is a marketing one.

Scope and definitions

This announcement covers two orizigroup.com pages as they stood on 12 October 2026: the ingredient hub with its category pages, and the Raw Material Sourcing & Trading page. Three terms are used throughout.

• An active ingredient is the component included to deliver a product’s main function or claimed benefit, such as a peptide in a serum or a probiotic in a drink powder.
• A raw material principal is the original manufacturer or brand owner of an ingredient, such as BASF or Croda, as distinct from a reseller.
• INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) is the standard naming system used for ingredients on cosmetic labels; each skincare card in the library shows the INCI names.

What has ORIZI Group opened?

The Our Ingredients hub is the overview: three category entry points, each with three featured actives. The detail sits on three category pages, and the principal directory sits on the sourcing page, so each page does one job.

Every card carries a label. Across the 36 featured actives, 15 are marked Award (the supplier’s ingredient has won an industry award), 17 Patented (covered by the supplier’s patents), 2 In Use (already formulated into ORIZI products or concepts) and 2 Special (a distinctive delivery or performance technology). Awards and patents are as reported by each supplier.

Who are the 64 global principals on the sourcing page?

The sourcing page groups the principals by the industry they mainly serve, although many supply several industries. They are the houses whose actives and raw materials ORIZI supplies and formulates with.

The sourcing service is not only for ORIZI production. The Raw Material Sourcing & Trading division supplies OEM and ODM manufacturers, brand owners and start-ups, medical and wellness providers, R&D laboratories and universities, and distributors and bulk traders.

Which certified ingredient options are available?

Certified grades come with the supplier’s certificates in the project file.

Which active ingredients can an OEM source for my brand?

In practice, the active is the last decision, not the first. A workable order of questions looks like this:

1. Which regulatory category is the product? Cosmetics in Malaysia are notified to NPRA, whose Guidelines for Control of Cosmetic Products reference the ASEAN lists of prohibited and restricted substances and permitted preservatives, colourants and UV filters. Food-category products, including food-category supplements, fall under the Food Act 1983 and the Food Regulations 1985.
2. Does it need to be halal? Every raw material, processing aid and carrier needs a halal-acceptable source; our halal ingredients guide explains what to check.
3. What will the label claim? Supplier data supports a formula, but the brand’s own claims must fit the rules for its category, such as NPRA’s guideline for cosmetic claims.
4. Can the formula carry it? Many cosmetic actives need encapsulation or a suitable delivery system to stay stable through formulation and storage, as a 2016 review of cosmetic encapsulation describes.
5. Does it fit the budget and order size? Branded actives cost more than generic grades, and the use level drives the unit cost.

Malaysia’s regulatory routes differ by product: D&O and Nutrizens make food-category supplements and functional foods, while products registered with NPRA under a MAL number follow a separate route.

ORIZI perspective: why we opened the library

Several actives on these pages are already in our own work. Matrixyl® 3000 is formulated into ORIZI’s Anti-Wrinkle Peptide Serum and our dermatology and aesthetic skincare concept portfolio. AnaGain® is formulated into our hair-care concepts, a shampoo and a scalp tonic. KSM-66® Ashwagandha and Uthever® NMN are formulated into blends we have developed for functional beverage brands. Our R&D team also publishes first-look notes when a new active reaches us, such as encapsulated peptides and Matrixyl Neolide, the chicory-root skin active CALNEURIN-SENSE and the gut-health ingredient 360GUT.

The structure is deliberate. The hub stays short, new actives are added only to the matching category page, and principals and certified options live on the sourcing page, so a brand owner can see in one place what we formulate with and in another what we can buy. The limits: the pages show a curated selection rather than every material we use, a principal on the list does not mean every grade it makes is held in stock, and regulatory status must be checked per product and per market.

Risks, limitations and common mistakes

• Choosing the active before the category. An ingredient that suits a cosmetic serum may not be usable in a food-category drink, and the reverse.
• Turning supplier awards into product claims. An award or patent belongs to the ingredient; the finished product’s claims need their own basis.
• Ignoring country differences. Trending actives can have a different status in each export market; check before formulating.
• Skipping the halal check on minor components. Carriers, solvents and processing aids count, not just the headline active.
• Under-budgeting branded actives. Price the active at its effective use level before fixing the retail price.

FAQ

Which active ingredients can an OEM source for my brand?

An OEM can source the actives its raw material network carries, provided each one fits the product’s regulatory category, halal needs and budget. ORIZI Group’s library features 36 actives and its sourcing network covers 64 principals.

Why does formulation technology matter for sensitive actives?

Formulation technology matters because many cosmetic actives need encapsulation or a suitable carrier to stay stable during formulation and storage. Encapsulated grades such as Matrixyl® Neolide™ (a peptide in a submicron lipid capsule) and Hyalusphere® hyaluronic acid are designed by their suppliers for protected, controlled delivery.

Can ORIZI source collagen for a functional beverage?

Yes. Collagen principals on the sourcing page include GELITA, Rousselot and Peptan, and VERISOL® bioactive collagen peptides are featured in the nutraceutical library; liquid formats are made by Nutrizens and powders by D&O.

Can I buy raw materials without manufacturing with ORIZI?

Yes. The Raw Material Sourcing & Trading division supplies manufacturers, brand owners, laboratories, universities, distributors and bulk traders, not only ORIZI’s own production lines.

Are the ingredients halal?

Halal status is checked per raw material and per grade. Halal-certified grades are sourced where applicable, and halal products are made in ORIZI Group’s JAKIM-certified facilities: Dr Orizi, D&O, Nutrizens and Skyler.
