Expanscience upcycling philosophy
Expanscience's cosmetic active ingredients activity was born in 1977 with the upcycling
of our avocado oil, that was then a byproduct of our pharmaceutical activity.
Today, it is still at the heart of our development axes, as encapsulated by our
philosophy "Science & Conscience, Naturally"
From a single plant, we can obtain many active ingredients with different
properties. Thanks to upcycling, from which 43% of our cosmetic ingredients
come from, at Expanscience we limit our impact on the environment by
avoiding the creation of new cultures and the collection of other plant sources.
