A family-owned online supplier of natural and organic cosmetic and skincare ingredients has ceased trading and been placed in administration.

Christopher Horner and Kevin Pinkerton, of restructuring and insolvency practice Business Rescue Expert, have been appointed joint administrators of Scotland-based Aromantic Limited.

The £1.1 million-turnover business, based on the Greshop Industrial Estate in Forres, traded via its own website and online platforms such as Amazon and Shopify – supplying oils, fragrances and other ingredients to customers creating their own creams, lotions, balms, toiletries and spa products.

The joint administrators have secured the sale to an unrelated party of the company’s assets, including its stock, websites and online platforms.

All 11 employees were made redundant immediately before the administration.
