The centre is also equipped with digital technologies such as 360° laboratory cameras to formulate live with Beauté by Roquette ingredients and online with formulator teams at the other side of the world.
“We are very excited to open and to soon welcome our customers and partners in our first Expertise Center. Working together in an inspiring and innovative space will enable us to meet the complex and versatile demands of consumers” said Bénédicte Courel, General Manager of the Cosmetics Business at Roquette.
“Only two years after its successful launch, Roquette Beauté has expanded its footprint, with a presence in Europe, North America and Asia, and developed already 20 brand new plant-based ingredients. This new milestone is key to continue to reinforce our collaboration with our customers and partners and to address the increasing consumers demand for innovative, high performing and natural-based formulations”.
To celebrate the launch of Beauté by Roquette’s 20th ingredient and its Expertise Centre, Roquette Beauté is supporting the “Octobre rose” cause and the “Look Good, Feel Better” (Belle et Bien) association that offers beauty treatments to women fighting cancer.
