About
Sharon Laboratories occupies a place most ingredient companies avoid: the awkward, highly regulated problem of keeping a formulation free of microbial growth. Founded in 1978 in Ashdod, Israel, the company specializes in preservatives, antimicrobial actives and multifunctional cosmetic ingredients — the chemistry that makes a personal care or household product safe to sell. Its Sharon Biomix and Sharon Protect lines cover broad-spectrum preservation, including paraben-free and formaldehyde-donor-free options, for skincare, haircare, wet wipes, sun care, household and industrial formulations. The range extends to antimicrobial actives, multifunctional cosmetic ingredients, natural-origin preservation blends, and chelating and boosting agents, which support the primary preservative rather than replace it. What gives the company weight in a sensitive category is its testing and compliance work. In-house microbiology and analytical labs run preservative efficacy testing — PET, or challenge testing — alongside formulation support and regulatory documentation. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485, GMP compliance, an Ecovadis gold rating, and Halal and Kosher certifications, and exports to more than 50 countries through distributors in Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia. Buyers are cosmetic brands, contract manufacturers and distributors. Enquiries name the application, target organisms, pH and regulatory market; minimum order quantities typically start at 25 kg, with full technical and regulatory documentation alongside.
