Our story

Slide 1

FOUNDED

1971

In 1971, after managing a successful London based essential oils trader for a number of years, JC decided it was time to set up his own company. It took over a year to receive his first order but he never looked back. Over the years JC Buck steadily grew to become a significant importer and exporter of Flavour and Fragrance raw materials, principally essential oils.

Product development

Raw material matching

With a team of experts in the field of natural raw materials, principally Essential Oils. We are often able to match qualities that our customers are buying. Sometimes our standard materials are not suitable for the end application, whether that be because of costing constraints or a technical specification that needs to be achieved. We are always happy to view samples from customers to see if we are able to source the quality which they are looking for. If you need this service, please do not hesitate to get in touch we are always happy to help.

Blends

Some Raw Materials can be extremely difficult to handle as they can be solid at room temperature or extremely viscous. We can provide bulks of pre blended raw materials with a range of solvents to make their use far easier for the customer, saving valuable time and investment in complex industrial equipment. Contact us if you think this service may be of interest.

Natural Blends

Aromatherapy and the rise in Natural Fragrances has sparked an ever-increasing desire from consumers for ethically sourced natural aromas. We are able to help with the development of bulk Natural Essential Oil blends which can be utilised in final applications such as Candles, Read Diffusers or Massage Aromatherapy products. Please get in touch if you need help with your final application.

Enhanced Flavour & Fragrance Ingredients

Consumers are always on the hunt for something different. Here at J.C.Buck Ltd we are able to enhance ingredients to provide something unusual and unique for Perfumers and Flavorists to utilise in their formulations. If you are looking for large quantities of unique ingredients to impress and inspire your customers, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to talk through options.

Commercial Flavour & Fragrance Ingredients

The price point for some end applications can be quite low, at J.C.Buck Ltd we are able to offer wholesale Flavour and Fragrance Ingredients which can replicate the pure and natural materials on which the ingredient is based, allowing Perfumers and Flavourists to access the same odour and flavour profiles but still be able to meet the price point dictated by the end customer. To talk to a member of our commercial team about this service please get in touch.

Regulatory

Traceability

Traceability is at the heart of J.C.Buck Ltd. For years it has been a requirement for us to be able to provide traceability reports to our clients, mainly those that function in the flavour industry. This is usually required to assess critical points where contamination can occur in the supply chain for food stuffs. However, it should be pointed out that Essential Oils can rarely be traced back to the field in which the starting plant matter was originally grown. This type of traceability is possible for some products but is quite specialised. If this is required, please get in touch with us to see if we can help.

Regulatory Support

We have a dedicated regulatory team at J.C.Buck Ltd to make sure that we are up to date with all the current regulations and international requirements. They also act to support our customers with their requirements when further information outside the scope of our standard documentation is required to progress a project. If you need our help with sourcing material with up to date documentation,  please contact us we would be happy to help.

REACH Compliance

REACH compliance is now of utmost importance to those of us operating in the Fragrance Market. Unfortunately, the rules surrounding REACH are at times complex, we are here to help our customers source REACH registered and REACH compliant Essential Oils, Absolutes, Resinoids & Balsams. As a result of Brexit J.C.Buck Ltd took steps to safeguard our investment in European REACH by establishing J.C.Buck Europe which enables us to handle sales within the European Union effectively. If you are in the midst of working through your REACH requirements, please get in touch if we can help.

Kosher

A Kosher Certificate is available for a great number of our Essential Oils and other Raw materials.

Halal

Halal declarations are available for some of our Essential Oils and Raw Materials.

ISO 9001

The internal procedures here have been externally audited and we are ISO 9001 accredited. We have made strides towards completing a full food accreditation and this is our plan for the future.

Quality Control

Ensuring Quality With Every Drop

Outbound Quality Control

We have longstanding experience in maintaining robust traceability and Quality Control systems, this has come about as a result of our work within the Flavour industry where Quality Control is paramount to food safety. A Certificate of Analysis is created every time a product is dispatched from our warehouse to make sure that what we deliver is what the customer expects from us.

GC, MS & GCFID

For inbound Quality Control and blend analysis we have both GC, MS and GCFID, both of these pieces of Gas Chromatography equipment and the talented members of staff who interpret the results, allow us to screen volatile raw materials such as Essential Oils, to make sure that we are buying pure products. This allows our clients to utilise our products in confidence that they will deliver the profile required for the final application.

Retained Checks

On almost every occasion that we send a material to a customer we retain a check of the product in sample form and retain these samples for 2 years in case there are any queries regarding quality in the future.

Pesticide Analysis

Pesticide content of Essential Oils & other allied materials is extremely important for those operating in the flavour market. We run periodic checks on some of our essential oils to check the pesticide levels in the raw materials. If pesticide content of Raw Materials is important to you and your business, please get in touch as we may be able to find some materials which meet your requirements.
