We were founded a decade ago with a vision to make the best products available to all and to help humanity while we do it. From plant-sugars to anti-malarial drugs, our proprietary process of engineering organisms (yeast) uses renewably-sourced carbon from plants to make sustainable, custom molecules that allow our customers to make better, more effective products that are better for people and better for the planet. No Compromise.™
We apply inspired science to deliver sustainable solutions for a growing world.
We believe highly-engineered organisms and sustainably sourced sugarcane can help solve world problems and support a healthier planet. That’s why we are using our technology to create products that support biopharmaceutical drug discovery and production, from cosmetic emollients and fragrances, to fuels, solvents, lubricants, and nutraceuticals. We believe it’s only a matter of time before everyone makes products our way. Make good. No compromise.™
Our renewable products are derived from sustainable sugarcane sourced from the first Brazil biomaterial producer to be certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials
We continuously solve unsolved needs. We are driven to accomplish the seemingly impossible. We embrace intelligent risk and are a learning organization.
