To create natural skin care products designed to meet the specific needs of babies and families, we select the best ingredients from nature, giving priority to organic options, to extract innovative, safe, and effective active ingredients. Our formulas are made with a minimum of ingredients, chosen for their efficacy, tolerance, and safety. The number of ingredients and the percentage of natural ingredients are published for each formula according to ISO 16128 or the Cosmos standard.

Unique know-how in extracting plant active ingredients

We produce very high-quality purified plant extracts, oils, powders, and butters, which undergo rigorous biological and clinical testing, patent applications, and scientific publications to ensure good tolerance and proven efficacy. With 40 years of experience in the field of plant raw materials, we have become a significant supplier for cosmetic brands in France and internationally. In its laboratories, Expanscience prioritizes plant extraction through eco-socially designed processes: molecular distillation, a “green” method for separating and concentrating the valuable elements of oils; biotechnologies such as enzymatic engineering, an alternative to the use of certain chemical substances; and plant extraction using “green” solvents. 

Since 1977, our company has specialized in extracting active ingredients from plants

Procurement that aims to reduce environmental impact

All the plant sectors that allow us to develop and obtain our active ingredients, such as avocado and schisandra, adhere to the principles of our CSR policy. We give priority to: organic agriculture over conventional agriculture, the circular economy, which aims to minimize resource waste and environmental impact, upcycling, which involves recovering unused materials or ingredients to create products, and food by-products, meaning using products generated during food production from the same raw material.
