SUSTAINABILITY
On a mission for greater impact
At the core of our vision
Like a hand placed respectfully on an ancient tree trunk, our sustainability initiative is inspired by nature. Through our pioneering entities like Beraca™ and Southern Cross Botanicals, we've established meaningful impacts for local biodiversity and communities, evolving our practices and products over time. With those learnings, we build our global strategy and expand sustainable practices throughout the organization.
Bridging innovation with responsibility, we design ingredients following the life cycle of a cosmetic product by sourcing renewable raw materials responsibly, producing safely with care for the environment, and offering ingredients with multi-benefits and a limited impact on end-of-life.
Join us on our mission to build a future where every choice we make contributes to a greater impact.

- Most are compliant to the Cosmos standard.
Lowering our impact by innovating with waste stream
- Functional range build with food byproducts
- Active range valorizing upcycled biomass from various industries (wood, fragrance, food…).
Limiting our end-of-use impact with ingredients designed to be readily biodegradable & aquatic ecosystem friendly.
Embrace responsibility of environmental footprint
Aware of our shared responsibility to safeguard the planet and its resources, we strive to design our operations, processes and products to minimize our environmental impact.
Our journey started by monitoring key environmental indicators for our internal manufacturing sites and optimizing logistic footprint of our operation.
It continues with engaging with our external partners to monitor their environmental performance and lower indirect footprint when possible.
It relies on innovation when designing product and processes that are water and energy efficient at production phase and usage phase.
- Best-in-class manufacturing site powered with 100% renewable energy and with highest performance in waste management
- Inspired by the desert, irrigation techniques are developed to lower water footprint
- Biotechnology using circular economy concept to produce a sustainable ingredient
