Stort Group Announces New Partnership with Kumar Organic Products Ltd

Stort Group is pleased to announce a new partnership with Kumar Organic Products Ltd, a leading manufacturer of speciality chemicals for the personal care, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

Founded in Bengaluru, India, Kumar has built a strong reputation for developing high-quality, performance-driven ingredients. With decades of expertise, the company offers a broad portfolio spanning preservatives, hair care actives and skin care ingredients, supporting a wide range of formulation needs.

Harnessing the Power of Bio-Fermentation

A key area of innovation within Kumar’s portfolio is their range of bio-ferments. These are part of a rapidly growing category in modern personal care. Produced through advanced fermentation processes that harness naturally derived raw materials and enhance their performance and bioavailability. Fermentation helps unlock additional nutrients and functional benefits, creating ingredients that are both highly effective and well-suited to contemporary formulations.

Kumar’s bio-ferment range includes ingredients derived from sources such as rice, beans and root vegetables, delivering benefits across both skin and hair care applications. These ferment filtrates are recognised for their ability to support hydration, improve skin feel and strengthen hair, while offering antioxidant and conditioning properties.

What the Partnership Means

Emma Marchant, Group Creative Director at Stort Group said:

“Kumar felt like the right fit from the start, both in terms of their people and the quality and strength of their portfolio, which are both core drivers behind everything we do here at Stort. The UK personal care and HI&I industry is moving fast, and Kumar’s product range driven by biotechnology is perfectly positioned to help our customers keep pace with trends that matter. Backed by their decades of formulation experience, we’re excited to work closely with formulators to help build the next generation of products.”

Mr. Shaurya Singh, Director from Kumar Organic Products Ltd commented: “Kumar Organic Products Ltd is pleased to partner with Stort Group as we expand in the UK market. With our focus on bio-fermentation and high-performance, naturally derived ingredients, we look forward to supporting formulators in developing next-generation personal care solutions.”

Quality, Compliance and Innovation

Kumar Organic Products Ltd combines biotechnology expertise with a strong focus on quality and regulatory compliance. Their manufacturing facilities are certified to international standards including ISO and WHO-GMP, providing confidence for formulators across regulated markets.

Their capabilities in bio-fermentation and ingredient development support formulators looking to drive performance with naturally derived solutions — aligning with growing demand for more considered and effective ingredient choices.
