Who we are
Many cannabinoids occur in only small amounts. But thanks to one of nature’s oldest processes, fermentation, we’ve pioneered a way to produce these cannabinoids at mass market scale.
These ingredients are ready to unleash a huge wave of product innovation across the beauty, skincare, food, beverage, health and wellness sectors. And now we’re ready to help customers like you bring the benefits of cannabinoids to every home, everywhere.
It’s game on. Are you ready to join in?
Do no harm
Any new innovation has to treat our world with respect. We have to find more sustainable ways of doing business.
That’s why we make our cannabinoid ingredients using one of the world’s oldest natural processes - fermentation.
Fermentation requires less water, energy and land than the plant-based approaches typically used to extract cannabinoid ingredients. This gives you, our customers, the ability to develop innovative new products without causing unnecessary harm to the planet.
And our ingredients are of the very highest quality, containing none of the contaminants often associated with plant-derived ingredients.
