Company timeline
2014
Our Founder
Primoz Artac, a former private equity executive, quits his job and starts Tosla. Four years before his nutricosmetics’ vision has materialized, Tosla starts as a food-tech company, eventually working with some of the biggest names in the European food space. The company’s initial incorporation takes place in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
2015
The First Liquid Compound
We developed our first liquid compound product offering a year after the company launch. We built the first Slovenian production facility in Ajdovscina, Slovenia, to produce the newly developed products. Starting with two critical European clients, the company grew rapidly and set the crucial foundation for a new strategic direction in the coming years.
2017
Shift to Nutricosmetics
The newly formed R&D department has shifted its focus into the nutricosmetics area. Tosla was the first major third-party producer to research ingestible cosmetics ingredients actively. We mainly focused on taste, appearance, smell, and convenience, the full spectrum of customer experience. This specific technical know-how acquisition created a backbone for all further development.
2020
Innovation Award
Growing at about 110% annually, the company gets recognized as an award-winning innovation startup. With the COVID-19 pandemic, it became evident that this would have an earthquake magnitude effect on the industry.
Time has finally come to outgrow the startup status and make a complete strategic shift.
2021
UK & USA Expansion
We gained our first significant nutricosmetics accounts in the UK and USA. We built new HQ, storage, and R&D facilities to support the accelerated growth. The R&D concentrated on stability and clinical studies, supporting the company’s move to corporate accounts in the global cosmetics industry.
2022
Strategic Partnerships
Tosla formed industry strategic partnerships to reach global clients and became one of the driving forces of progress in the nutricosmetics industry. Tosla expanded its digitalization, workplace well-being, research, development, and production capabilities to serve the innovation-driven market for edible beauty, health, and wellness products.
2023
Tosla 3 & B Corp
Construction on Tosla 3 started: TOSLA’s new super factory and headquarters. These developments enable TOSLA to continue its impressive growth trajectory and work towards its goal of reaching the 100 million euro revenue mark.

B Corp Certified.

We manufacture all of our products in a certified FSSC22000, cGMP, FDA approved, and B Corp certified facility.

What is the typical lead time for an order?
Our time-to-market is 2x faster than the industry standard. After receiving all the needed information, we take only up to 60 days to produce.
Which type of collagen do you use?
We use high-quality GMO-free collagen, sourced in the EU. Collagen comes from fish & bovine skin (also known as type I & type III collagen). Our collagen is entirely natural and is subjected to a process called hydrolysation. In this process, collagen is cut down to tiny molecules, which ensures the best possible absorption in the bloodstream.
What is MOQ?
Please contact us.
How do I start developing products with you, and what is the lead time?
After receiving a detailed explanation of your desired formulation, our R&D team develops samples. We taste the samples, and together, we approve your formulation. This entire process takes approximately 90 days. Once the formulation and artwork are approved, we require up to 60 days to manufacture your order.
What kind of packaging options do you offer?
We offer bottles in three sizes: 500ml, 60ml, and 30ml. The bottles can be covered with a label or a sleeve and placed in a box. We also offer the option to include a measuring cup with the bottles.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Our bottles are made from PET material, which is suitable for recycling. The material can be reused in production to reduce the amount of waste.
How much does it cost?
This is a tricky one as it really is product-dependent. Lots of different factors can affect pricing variables, such as packaging, order quantities, and ingredients used. We can provide all cost information after we receive the signed NDA. There are no hidden extras!
What is your confidentiality policy?
We sign a mutual NDA with each of our customers.
What are TOSLA’s manufacturing capacities?
In our fully automated facility, we can currently produce up to 35kt per day. However, we are building a new Super Factory and Headquarters (TOSLA 3), which will be finished in the summer of 2025. This will increase our capacity by 300%.
