What is Ingredient Branding?

Ingredient Branding is widely defined as “creating a brand for an ingredient or component of a product, to project the high quality or performance of the ingredient”.
Our own definition of Ingredient Branding is quite simple: we call it "PARS PRO TOTO", a part taken as a whole.
What does that mean? The ingredient is becoming a trigger for the buying decision in favor of the final product. The ingredient can be a material, a component a production process, a specification or a service that is positively influencing the buying decision of the end user.
That benefits its direct customers to sell more end products with that specific Ingredient inside. In that sense Ingredient branding is a long-term orientated vertical co-branding between the provider of a component, material or service and the provider of a final product that incorporates that particular Ingredient.
