DETAILS
BASF and Mazza Innovation today announced
the signing of an exclusive, long-term supply agreement:
The Canadian botanical extractions company
will provide BASF with specific plant extracts
to develop new solutions for cosmetic applications.
Mazza produces the plant extracts
using its patented PhytoClean™ technology.
This unique, water-based extraction method
concentrates bio-actives in a very eco-friendly way.
With this collaboration, BASF will further strengthen
its innovative range of plant-derived active ingredients.
New extraction processes are an important means of exploring
novel high-performance plant-based solutions
in areas such as anti-aging actives,
facilitated by bringing together interdisciplinary know-how
from within BASF as well as from external partners.
David Hérault,
Director of Research & Development at BASF Beauty Creations
“For more than 50 years, our scientific experts have been working
at the forefront of plant extraction technologies,
constantly assessing new developments in this field,
with the aim of improving both the sustainability of the process
and the precision of the extraction,
targeting key molecules at the heart of plant materials,”
“The partnership with Mazza enables us
to further expand our range of innovative active ingredients
and to continuously support our customers
to meet the growing consumer demand
for effective and naturally-derived products.”
Benjamin Lightburn,
CEO of Mazza Innovation
“The PhytoClean Method is an environmentally sound way
to produce standardized bio-active ingredients
from plant biomass.
By changing the polarity of water using temperature and pressure,
the PhytoClean method avoids
the use of conventional extraction solvents.
We gain access to such phytochemicals as
phenolic compounds, polysaccharides and glycosides –
all of which contribute to
the biological activity of the plant extract,”
