Laboratorios Vigmar, a cosmetic manufacturer based in Real (Valencia) and founded in 1975, announces the launch of WeSun – Specialists in Suncare, its new B2B business unit entirely focused on the development and manufacturing of photoprotection products for third parties. WeSun is born with the objective of offering brands a specialist partner that provides more than just production capacity: deep technical knowledge, proprietary formulation platforms, and a development process designed to be clearer, faster, and more reliable.
Photoprotection is a category of increasing complexity. Regulatory pressure, the sensory sophistication demanded by the market, the need for differentiation on the shelf, and the strategic weight that sunscreens are acquiring in the portfolios of cosmetic brands mean that the generalist approach of many manufacturers is insufficient. WeSun responds precisely to this context: concentrating in a single proposal Vigmar's innovation in formulation, technological platforms, regulatory support, and industrial capacity.
"WeSun is not born to make sunscreens as just another line. It is born to be the best option for a brand that wants sun protection to be a real competitive advantage. This implies having a partner who understands formulation, the market, and industrial requirements with the same depth as the brand itself." María José Giner, CEO of WeSun and Laboratorios Vigmar.
A technical proposal structured in platforms
WeSun's technical offering is articulated around three major families of technological platforms: Water Based formulations (with new generation organic filters, including ocean-friendly options and skincare-suncare hybrids), Dry Dispersion (inorganic, biodegradable filters, with up to 80% naturally derived ingredients), and Oil Based (oils, mists, and semi-solid formats). Each platform covers a range of defined SPFs, formats, active ingredients, and claims, which significantly shortens development times and offers concrete technical proposals from the first conversation with the client.
The service is structured in six phases, Explore, Define, Design, Formulate, Manufacture, and Anticipate, with the aim of converting a market opportunity into a viable, scalable, and coherent sun solution with the brand's positioning.
A partner designed for demanding brands
WeSun directs its proposal to dermo-cosmetic, personal care, pharmacy, professional beauty, and large distribution brands that want to launch, reformulate, or scale their sun care range with a specialist manufacturer. The unit also offers manufacturing services to clients who already have their own formulations but need a new industrial supplier.
WeSun's full-pack proposal, which ranges from innovation strategy to industrialization and service, is designed for brands that value having a single point of contact with knowledge of both innovation and formulation as well as industrial expertise, capable of accompanying the entire life cycle of their sun products.
