Expanscience launches its first nutraceutical ingredient

Expanscience introduces TULSINITY^® Bio, an innovative active designed to promote skin & mind well-being.

This launch marks the company's entry into the nutraceutical market with an active ingredient aligned with its societal mission, that's also natural, certified organic, FFL (Fair for Life) and ROC (Regenerative Organic Certified).

Discover TULSINITY® Bio

Tulsi extract from a sacred adaptogen

TULSINITY® Bio is derived from tulsi leaves — also known as holy basil — cultivated in India using regenerative farming methods (ROC-certified) and fair trade practices (FFL-certified). These commitments ensure a Certified Organic (AB) ingredient that is respectful of both the environment and the farming communities.

Mind & body benefits rooted in Ayurvedic tradition

In Ayurvedic medicine, tulsi is revered for its benefits on mind and soul, and for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

By boosting natural defenses and reducing the effects of stress, TULSINITY® Bio supports skin resilience and contributes to mental wellness.

TULSINITY® Bio helps to improve skin elasticity, density, and barrier function, while promoting a sense of calm against daily stress.

In line with Expanscience’s mission — “to help individuals shape their well-being” — this ingredient offers a holistic approach to food supplements that also meets consumer's modern needs.

A new nutraceutical offer to meet growing demand for transparency and naturality

Armelle Le Péniec, Director of Cosmetic and Nutraceutical Ingredients at Expanscience, states:
“At Expanscience, a mission-driven and B Corp-certified (company), we are committed to becoming a regenerative company by placing fair trade and regenerative agriculture at the heart of our actions for a positive and more sustainable impact. Our positioning should enable us to differentiate ourselves from other stakeholders and meet consumers' growing expectations for transparency."”

A holistic solution for a growing market

The nutraceutical market is expanding rapidly — over €2.9 billion in France¹, one of Europe’s leading countries, and $212 billion in the United States².

Consumers are increasingly seeking transparency, efficacy, and natural products, and Expanscience is well-positioned to meet this demand with TULSINITY® Bio.
