Active Ingredient Innovation for Supplements and Cosmetics
Active Ingredients are the key components of dietary supplements and cosmetic products, obtained by extracting compounds from natural sources — plants, vegetables and fruits — with propertiesthat restore, repair and protect the skin in cosmetics. In dietary supplements, active ingredients are nutrients or biologically active compounds, which may include vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids and enzymes. These substances are essential for maintaining optimal health, correcting nutritional deficiencies and supporting physical and mental performance. These key active ingredients are what allow a product to deliver visible results and set our products apart from competitors in the market.
The cosmetics and dietary supplement markets in Thailand continue to grow steadily, and the global market is paying increasing attention to extracts sourced from Thailand. Building sustainable competitive strength for a brand therefore requires innovation driven by effective research and development.
Active Ingredients Development through biotechnology research plays a vital role in advancing Thailand’s supplement and cosmetics industries. Thailand holds natural advantages: it lies in Tropical Asia and ranks among the world’s leading countries for biodiversity, and it has a well-established agricultural and agro-processing sector. That processing also generates large volumes of by-products that go unused and are discarded. One of our missions is to develop extracts from agricultural produce and to create new value from agro-industrial by-products, turning them into high-value raw materials for the Thai cosmetics industry and for dietary supplements in the global market.
