Inoveol®: LibraGen's cosmetics actives are now Ecocert-approved

Toulouse, 27th June 2008 — Actives of the Inoveol® range developed by LibraGen for the dermocosmetic, have just been approved by Ecocert for their conformity according to the ecological and organics standards. The level of standard required by this validation guarangees to consumers the respect of the implementation of real ecological good practices in the manufacturing process of these products.

Resulting from LibraGen's research, products of the Inoveol® range are molecules of natural origin selected for their recognized biological properties in dermocosmetic. These innovative actives are plant polyphenols, purified, stabilized and made water soluble thanks to a green chemistry process.

The technological rupture brought by the Inoveol® product range makes it possible easily to formulate natural polyphenols with recognized benefits but yet not easily exploitable. The Inoveol® actives thereby make it possible to create new ranges of cosmetics answering the current books of tendency.

"The validation of these first actives of the Inoveol® range according to the Ecocert standards provides a competitive advantage to our customers who can from now on use these Ecocert-approved actives as ingredients in the cosmetic products certified according to the standards of the Natural and Organic Cosmetics" Renaud Nalin declares, CEO of LibraGen. "This is an additional recognition of the quality of these products, and of the ecological, biological and technological context of which they form part".

This first series of Inoveol® products is proposed on catalogue to customers of the cosmetic field. In parallel, a collection of more than 30 other Inoveol® actives is available to allow exclusive co-developments in partnerships with the actors of the field.

The R&D laboratories of LibraGen continue their innovative research to provide new exclusive molecules to their partners in the cosmetic and the nutrition fields.
