Cosmetic grade PDO begins production
Royal DSM and Metex Nøøvista, an industrial subsidiary of Metabolic Explorer have announced the start of commercial production of their new cosmetic grade of PDO. Produced at an industrial plant in France, Tilamar PDO with Nøøvista is 100% bio-sourced from non-GMO feedstocks and the first European- made cosmetic grade PDO. Tilamar PDO with Nøøvista

from the COVID-19 pandemic, many consumers are turning to sustainable ingredients as part of a drive to boost personal resilience and contribute to a more responsible consumption. The ingredient is produced
from locally sourced and non- GMO feedstock and provides a wide range of formulation opportunities, thanks to its multifunctional properties. Additional benefits such as odourless and microbiome- friendly characteristics will support the growing use of this natural origin performance ingredient in cosmetics formulations for conscious customers.
