Eternis Fine Chemicals Ltd., is a wholly owned family business that has been in the fragrance and flavor industry for decades. The aroma chemicals business is operated by the Mariwala family. Eternis was founded in India in 1988 originally as Hindustan Polyamides and Fibres Limited (HPFL) and was re-branded as Eternis Fine Chemicals Ltd in 2015.

The partnership brings together two distinct yet highly complementary areas of expertise across the beauty value chain: Eternis’ strength in high-quality ingredients and olfactive innovation, and SO.F.I.A Cosmétiques’ excellence in formulation, development and industrial production of finished products.

 Together, the two companies create a seamless bridge between ingredient innovation and final product realization — enabling brands to move faster from concept to market, with enhanced creativity, technical performance and sustainability at every stage.

SO.F.I.A Cosmétiques has over 30 years of experience as a trusted industrial partner, developing and manufacturing French-made cosmetic, personal care and suncare products from its facilities in the Nice Côte d’Azur region. Eternis, founded in 1988, is a leading global producer of aroma chemicals, supplying key ingredients to the fragrance and personal care industry worldwide.

This joint venture is built on a clear and shared ambition: to offer brands a more integrated, agile and responsible approach to product development — while preserving the unique identity and expertise of each partner.
