DETAILS
Givaudan today announced
a newly expanded collaboration
with the industrial bioscience company
in the research, development and production
of active cosmetic ingredients.
The companies anticipate that
the launch of target products in the coming years
will demonstrate significant performance, cost
and sustainability advantages over existing ingredients.
Givaudan has been engaged in
the research and development
of proprietary fragrance ingredients
with Amyris for several years.
The expansion of the partnership leverages the diversity
and value of Amyris’ R&D platform and
manufacturing capabilities
for designing high-performance, cultured ingredients.
During the multi-year collaboration, Amyris will use
its strain engineering platform to design
cosmetic active targets, and scale them up
at its manufacturing facility in Brotas, Brazil
for exclusive commercialisation by Givaudan.
Maurizio Volpi,
President of Givaudan’s Fragrance Division
“We are very pleased to expand
our ongoing partnership with Amyris.
As Givaudan continues to look for innovative
and sustainable solutions, we are expanding
the relationship to apply Amyris’ technology
to the new field of active cosmetic ingredients,”
“This partnership demonstrates three concrete steps
fully in line with our 2020 strategy:
First, Open Innovation, by leveraging
external partnerships;
second, Sustainability, by looking at
different ways to source raw materials; and
third, Active Beauty,
a growing area of investment
for Givaudan.”
