Global consumers are increasingly demanding more functionality from their nutritional and personal care products to help them to meet the challenges of the modern world.

To satisfy the resultant demand for natural, sustainable and scientifically proven products, Aquapharm's Oceanx business unit is developing a pioneering portfolio of novel ingredients derived from its marine collection.

Examples of ingredients currently in development by Aquapharm and its partners include:

Food / Beverage Ingredients

• Health & Nutrition: Ingredients with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity
• Food Safety & Preservation: Natural preservatives
• Food Design: Natural source colours, including carotenoids

Personal Care / Cosmetic Ingredients

• Anti-Ageing: Ingredients with anti-inflammatory and sun protective properties
• Protection and Prevention: Anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories
• Anti-Microbial: Natural preservatives and anti-dandruff treatments

By applying its fermentation capabilities, the company has the means to develop and sustainably supply both existing and new classes of natural, marine-derived ingredients at competitive prices.
