Lesaffre expanding its mission towards Cosmetics
Lesaffre positions Innosya as a key player ready to meet the growing needs of the cosmetics industry, which
is currently undergoing a major transformation. Faced with the environmental impact of plant extraction,
increasing pressure on agricultural land, and rising consumer demand for more natural and sustainable
products, the cosmetics industry is exploring innovative alternatives and reshaping the composition of its
products.
Fermented cosmetic ingredients represent an eco-friendly, effective, and high-quality solution that can
complement or even replace traditional components derived from petrochemicals.
“For over 170 years, we have been convinced that fermentation is one of the solutions to tomorrow’s
challenges, and today we are taking a new step forward with the launch of Innosya. We aim to become a
trusted partner to cosmetics industry players, supporting them in transitioning to more innovative sustainable
practices. This strategic alignment between Lesaffre’s capabilities, its mission, and the evolving priorities of
the cosmetics industry makes us confident that Innosya can play a key role in the yearsto come, ” says Brice Audren Riché, CEO of Lesaffre.

industry stakeholders to present our product portfolio at this year’s In-Cosmetics trade show and
