Anne Rossignol-Castera, President of Oléos, said: “The south of France, with its access to plentiful natural resources and proximity to major customers, has been an ideal place to grow our business over the last seven years.”
Meanwhile, Paro said: “Oléos’ unique capabilities and technology will enhance Hallstar’s technology platform with patented, clinically proven natural active ingredients for beauty and personal care.”
He added: “Further, with Oléos, we add a strong team and culture that fits the Hallstar brand.”
Oléos creates its ingredients via an eco-extraction method that results in high purity and yield without using organic solvents or other pollutants. The process is recognised as ecologically sustainable.
Application of Oléos' actives include in anti-ageing, dark spot diminishment and skin whitening products.
