Reb M
Biofene, or trans-β-Farnesene, is our flagship chemical building block. It is used in performance materials, beauty, flavors & fragrance, nutrition, and more.
Used throughout the F&F industry, our Patchouli-type oil provides a clean, consistent fragrance profile with a less costly environmental footprint than botanically harvested Patchouli.
A mainstay of the F&F industry, our Sclareol offers a consistent supply chain, stable pricing, and scalable sourcing that has enabled our partner to grow supply with demand.
A coveted starting material in the F&F industry, Manool has traditionally been sourced from trees which grow in a narrow region in New Zealand. Our renewable solution ensures a reliable and scalable supply.
Artemisinin is a key component of the first-line treatment for malaria. Amyris’ life-saving biotech-derived solution plays a key role in the global supply strategy for Artemisinin.
Santolols confer the signature aroma of Sandalwood oil. Our high-purity santolols blend delivers consistency and quality while protecting the endangered native sandalwood trees.
A high-performing cosmetic active ingredient, our fermentation-derived Bisabolol requires 230 times less land to produce relative to botanical Bisabolol.
Our revolutionary Squalane is an iconic ingredient in the world of Beauty. A versatile emollient, our Squalane powers thousands of leading brands across the world.
Our Hemisqualane is the preferred sustainable and naturally-derived alternative to silicones in beauty and personal care by top global brands.
Squalene is used in certain vaccine adjuvants, and traditionally sourced from deep sea sharks. Our Sustainably Sourced Squalene ensures access to this life-saving molecule while preserving ocean ecosystems.
Reb M is a sweetener naturally present in the Stevia plant in minute quantities. Our fermented sugarcane Reb M avoids the off-tasting compounds of Stevia, while delivering a vastly better environmental footprint.
