Somerset Catalog

Our Team

Somerset Cosmetic Company, LLC was founded in 1997 by Swiss cosmetologist Karin Bombeli. The company is specializing in homemade personal care products and decorative cosmetics. We offer a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, raw materials and tools for making cosmetics. We also provide professional help and information about manufacturing homemade cosmetics including books, newsletters, various resource pages in our website and a free email service.

We are an exclusive internet-based mail order business delivering goods worldwide. Our customers include small cosmetic manufacturers, spas, pharmacies, medical doctors, beauty studios, hair & nail studios, and individuals interested in producing their own cosmetics and toiletries.

Our team consists of people from Europe and the USA with various educational backgrounds and professional experiences including cosmetologists, business administrators, laboratory technicians and also a medical doctor. For special questions we seek advice from external experts such as cosmetic chemists, pharmacologists and herbalists.

We are proud being one of the very first company in the US having introduced this exciting hobby in the US. Although many companies have arisen meanwhile having shamelessly copied (and still are copying) our concept, our recipes, our products, our informative pages, and our ideas, we believe that knowledge, tradition, and years of experience can not be copied, and that innovation rather than imitation is the key to keep the competitive edge and offer the best service for our customers.
