Using its experience, Expanscience develops responsible nutraceutical active ingredients.

Laboratoires Expanscience, which has historically concentrated on creating plant-based cosmetic chemicals, is now growing its business to include dietary supplements. This move toward nutraceutical ingredients is a response to consumer demand for certified ingredients as well as a continuation strategy. Similar to the cosmetics industry, the nutritional supplement industry has strict standards for efficacy, traceability, and naturalness. The Expanscience Group thinks it can satisfy the expectations of this quickly expanding market by offering a pertinent solution by utilizing its experience in this area."Nutraceutical companies are leading the way in obtaining certifications like Fair for Life and ROC (Regenerative Organic Certified), which perfectly complement our positioning. Transparency and sustainability have been central to Expanscience's purpose for over 20 years. We continue to uphold the highest ethical and environmental standards as a B Corp-certified business," says Armelle Le Péniec, Director of Laboratoires Expanscience's Cosmetic and Nutraceutical Actives Division.Tulsinity Bio, an extract of holy basil (Ocimum sanctum L.) cultivated using regenerative agricultural methods and certified by ROC and Fair for Life, was just introduced by the firm to commemorate the debut of this new catalog.

It has been demonstrated through cortisol tests to lower stress and to improve the flexibility and density of the skin barrier, which is at the intersection of beauty and well-being. "Our dedication to holistic solutions is demonstrated by the development of an active ingredient that addresses stress and skin health—consistent with other cosmetic actives we offer, such as Ayuredi, which is also derived from holy basil," the director says.With applications ranging from nutricosmetics to the whole wellness market for dietary supplements, including menopause, vitality, sleep, etc., Expanscience aims to build a portfolio enhanced with one to two new nutraceutical active ingredients annually. “Our strategy aims to offer a range that complements our cosmetic active ingredients, with a similar model, namely highlighting the effectiveness of our natural ingredients and sourcing guarantees. "We want to reach a turnover level that is comparable to the cosmetic active ingredients business in ten years," says Armelle Le Péniec. With the help of its local subsidiary, Expanscience is focusing on the North American market in addition to Europe. Asia, which has a strong interest in this kind of goods, may potentially be a potential growth market.
