Our company has two plants, one in Peyruis, France, and one in Almeria, Spain, at the heart of olive groves, at the closest to our raw material. Our 70 employees support everyday our vision of a more sustainable future for cosmetics.
Our core business is to manufacture olive-sourced cosmetic ingredients and particularly Squalane. Squalane C30H62 is a molecule that reproduces our epidermis’ ability to repair and moisturize itself thanks to sebum activity. It is an organic emollient and protective agent, which is valued on the cosmetic market for its great properties and its well-known skin benefits.
