Vytrus Biotech's proposal goes around its research in the field of microbiota for 10 years and its expertise in plant stem cell technology to develop 100% natural active ingredients to merge both worlds.

As a result, Vytrus will present its advances in cosmetic science based on plant biotechnology: the possibility, for the first time, to Photoprotect and Rejuvenate our skin microbiota. Innovations inspired by the wisdom of nature and based on a highly efficient and sustainable technology.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

We drive initiatives to increase the share of renewable-based ingredients in our portfolio and take an active role in managing our supply chain carefully. BASF wants to ensure that its renewable-based products, as well as its bioactive ingredients, are made from sustainable sourced raw materials, such as responsible sourced Argan, Oil Palm, Coconut and Castor Oil. A reliable sustainable certification system to ensure verification on the ground, a maximum of transparency, as well as social measures for local communities, especially smallholders, are key steps towards protecting valuable ecosystems as well as human and labor rights.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) will fundamentally change how packaging is regulated in the UK as well as potential business implications of placing different types of packaging onto the UK. Find out how EPR could affect your cosmetics business.

Childs Farm was started by our Founder Joanna Jensen, who created the brand due to the lack of options for her two little girls with sensitive skin, with the mission of producing products that were both kind to skin and kind to the planet to allow every baby and child to feel good in their skin.

Sustainability has been in our DNA from day one. We believe sustainability is a continuous journey and this talk takes you through the steps Childs Farm has taken so far, from introducing 100% Prevent Ocean Plastic bottles to being certified a B Corp. And our plan to continue this journey as part of the PZ Cussons Family.
