Cosmetic ingredients
Development of active, technological ingredients and fragrances for cosmetic products
Market need
One of the main trends in the cosmetics industry is the search for new ingredients of natural and renewable origin as an alternative to chemically synthesised ingredients, in response to consumer demand and regulatory changes. These ingredients must also be effective, safe and sustainable.
The industry is considering the upcycling of organic by-products such as those from agri-food or forestry, as well as new production routes through biotechnology.
Our solution
We support companies in the development of the ingredient across all its stages: research, development, optimisation and scaling of the production process with clean technologies, in vitro validation and batch manufacturing.
We work with technologies such as supercritical CO2 extraction, biotechnology, targeted microencapsulation, biocatalysis, or microalgae cultivation, among others.
