I am wanting to start making my own serums and have been looking for UK ingredient suppliers.
I came across a company called activeextracts.co.uk, they seem quite reasonable.
Has anybody used them before? Confused

I havent used this lot, but Active Formulas sell in the uk and I have used them. They have a good website and deliver very quickly I have never had a problem with them.
Why not give them a go?

I have used active extracts before and have been pleased.
It looks like they have reduced a few of their prices too which is even better as they were pretty good value anyway!

I have also used active extracts, they have low prices and good actives.

Have just been on the active extracts website.It looks good but they have fewer products than active formulas and less information relating to those products, however as a DIY intro they would fit the bill.
Good luck on the DIY journey I am still a newbie and it is really exciting.

Have you checked out the DIY threads here?
they are a revelation Exclamation

I bought some green tea and hyaluronic acid powder last week, and again i am pleased.
I notice they stock n acetyl cysteine. It seems this active has some good anti sun damage studies behind it, but i cant find any diy recipes that include it. Anybody know of any?

Wished i had waited to order my stuff.
They now offer a free packet of L Ascorbic Acid with orders worth more than £25! Mad
I hope it continues for a while Confused

I know this is an old thread but are there any UK people on here who have dealt with Active Formulas? I emailed them on Tuesday with a few quick questions but haven't had anything back Sad

Lindsay I have just picked up this thread, so not sure if you have had any replies, I have received my order from Active Formulas last week,
I did email them with a few queries which they did reply to, I am pleased with the order I placed and will go on purchasing from them. I found them to be very helpful

I am actually finding the same thing with ActiveFormulas. They take their time to respond to queries. They also forever seem to be out of the stuff I really want to buy which means I have to order from the US. Totally defeats the purpose Sad
