With a rich catalogue of more than 200 references, the Biolandes Group continues to expand its range of natural ingredients for the cosmetics industry.

Once the operation is completed, the solution is filtered before returning to its solid form. Their dense and delicately scented texture then makes our natural enfleurages ingredients that can be directly incorporated into the formulation of lip balms. They also have the advantage of combining the properties of shea butter with the virtues of the plants used and are perfectly suited to the formulation of body creams and lotions”.
