OUR BOTANICAL EXPERTISE
We specialize in developing natural ingredients for beauty, health, and nutrition using our expertise in supercritical fluid extraction and patented technologies. Our goal is to customize extracts to align with your values and formulation needs. From sourcing raw materials to bringing the ingredient to market, we manage the entire process. Our complete and personalized offering adapts to all your requirements.
We also create custom ingredients for other companies. After signing a confidentiality agreement, we design a detailed step-by-step research program and can oversee the entire value chain for developing a new ingredient, which includes:
SOURCING: We can develop natural ingredients from various plant biomasses—flowers, stems, fruits, leaves, etc.—sourced either from you or our partners in Martinique.
PLANT STUDY: We conduct analytical and sensory characterization upon receipt to identify key molecules and define extraction parameters.
EXTRACTION PROCESS: Our expertise ensures we select the optimal extraction process and formulation for your specific plant.
ANALYTICAL CHARACTERIZATION: We identify necessary biomarkers through detailed analytical tests.
BIOACTIVITY TESTING: We validate the biological activity of extracts, facilitating their marketability in cosmetics and nutraceuticals.
FROM PILOT TO INDUSTRIALIZATION: We scale successful lab tests to industrial validation.
CO-PRODUCT MANAGEMENT: We optimize the management of co-products from our production chain, transforming them into valuable resources while minimizing environmental impact.
STABILITY & TOXICOLOGY: Our ingredients undergo accelerated aging tests to ensure stability, and we establish toxicological profiles in partnership with experts.
We can also support you in the following areas:
BIBLIOGRAPHY
We have our own database that we've been enriching since 2011. Additionally, we have access to a multitude of databases and scientific studies to identify key molecules, analyze plant compositions, and gather data on the impact of extraction process choices. This allows us to accelerate projects, enhancing and rationalizing the effectiveness of extraction and the properties of the resulting extracts.
REGULATORY & CERTIFICATION
We assist you in drafting regulatory documents for the market launch or use of your ingredients. Additionally, we can perform the necessary regulatory testing, including allergen, pesticide, and heavy metal analyses, through our network of external partners. We can also support you in preparing the documentation required for ingredient certifications, such as Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Cosmos, Novel Food, and more.
CIR - CII
We can advise you on writing your scientific reports for the Research Tax Credit (CIR) and the Innovation Tax Credit (CII). This includes everything from drafting the state of the art and defining your R&D objectives to describing technological challenges and outlining your experimental approach.
MARKETING
We can support you in developing key messaging and writing marketing materials to promote your ingredient effectively.
