Conserving and responsibly nurturing biodiversity
We connect science and creativity to the many ways of nature, with ethics in meaningful action, from Australian, Amazonian, Boreal and Middle East origins.
We believe conserving and responsibly nurturing biodiversity around the world is the richest way to greater futures. This is the reason why we create regional centers of innovation and regeneration, where we connect science and creativity to the many ways of nature, with ethics in meaningful action, from various origins:
- Australian mega-biodiversity
- Socio-biotopes of the Amazon
- Canadian boreal forest
- Desert of the Middle East.With supported traceability across our products.
Delicious textures that deliver exquisite skin feel
Modern functional ingredients must go beyond texture—becoming active participants in cosmetic formulations.
From Phospholipids to Quinoa Starch, we ensure optimal skin affinity and tolerance due to the skin-mimicking structures they form. Their versatility as co-emulsifiers and liposome-formers delivers soft, velvety finishes while reducing water loss.
Butter, mousse, gel cream, lotion, spray… Our biocompatible natural ingredients provide formulators with an extraordinary palette of exquisite textures—creating a unique signature for your brand and guaranteeing consumer pleasure and well-being upon application.

Spark New Pathways
Through our cutting-edge innovation platforms, we deliver premium active and functional ingredients that advance cosmetic science.
Biomimetic Peptides
At the forefront of cosmetic science, we pioneered and specialized in the design and development of biomimetic peptides that replicate natural biological mechanisms to restore and optimize impaired skin functions. Our research center in Toulouse, France, integrates advanced analytical technologies and multidisciplinary expertise to ensure rigorous characterization, stability, and efficacy of each molecule. With a continuously expanding library of more than 700 biomimetic molecules, we provide a robust platform for the development of targeted, mechanism-driven cosmetic ingredients supported by scientific evidence.
Botanicals and Naturals
Rooted in the conservation of natural biodiversity, our botanicals and natural ingredients platform unlocks the potential of nature in its many forms. We develop natural active ingredients that support the skin’s natural functions, enhance its resilience to environmental stress, and address modern cosmetic challenges, while providing rich sensorial experiences.
Sourced from diverse ecosystems, from the Australian biodiversity and Amazonian socio-biotopes to the Canadian boreal forest and Middle Eastern deserts, our ingredients are responsibly obtained with full traceability and respect for local communities and environments.
Phospholipids and Delivery Systems
For over 25 years, we have been a global reference in the field of phospholipids and lecithins, pioneering a broad spectrum of phospholipids and glycolipids derived from soy, sunflower, and other natural sources. These skin identical compounds offer high biocompatibility and bioavailability, acting as non-irritating surfactants that stabilize formulations while supporting skin barrier integrity as well as providing exquisite sensorial properties and skin feel.
Our expertise extends to advanced delivery systems designed to optimize active ingredients penetration, protect against degradation or interactions, enable controlled release, and ensure precise, targeted efficacy within cosmetic formulations.
Upcycling
We recognize the finite nature of natural resources and are committed to sustainable innovation through upcycling. That is why we transform by-products and residues from other industries into high-performance active and functional cosmetic ingredients. This approach combines scientific rigor with environmental responsibility, minimizing waste while preserving the efficacy and safety expected from advanced cosmetic formulations. Our upcycling platform exemplifies how circular economy principles can drive both sustainability and innovation in ingredient development.
Quinoa emulsifiers and Encapsulation
Through patented technology derived from quinoa starch, we have developed an innovative multifunctional ingredient that redefines formulation possibilities. Acting as a surfactant-free natural emulsifier when cold-processed, it can become a customizable encapsulation system to protect lipophilic ingredients when heated. In powder form, it enhances sensorial properties and contributes to sebum regulation. Widely recognized by the cosmetic industry, this award-winning technology serves as a foundation for the development of next-generation ingredients that will transform formulation design.
Biotech Platform
Our biotechnology platform leverages advanced fermentation and biocatalysis processes to design and produce high-performance cosmetic molecules with high levels of purity, stability, and reproducibility. By harnessing the precision of enzymatic reactions and controlled microbial systems, we can synthesize complex bioactive structures under mild, sustainable conditions. This approach enables the creation of innovative, nature-inspired ingredients that combine scientific precision, efficiency, and environmental responsibility in cosmetic formulation.
Plant Upgrading Platform
Through an exclusive partnership with Plant Advanced Technologies (Nancy, France), we offer a range of potent active ingredients obtained from plant roots cultivated under controlled aeroponic conditions. This innovative process enables the targeted stimulation of plants to enhance the biosynthesis of valuable natural molecules in commercially viable quantities, all without harming or destroying the plant. Our plant upgrading platform combines biotechnological precision with sustainability, providing access to rare phytoactives while preserving biodiversity.
