The French laboratory Expanscience launches its first nutraceutical active ingredient, Tulsinity Bioat the Vitafoods Europe trade show in Barcelona. This new ingredient is designed to protect the skin from the effects of psychological stress.
Made from certified organic tulsi leaves - also known as holy basil - the active ingredient is based on a sustainable supply chain. Crops are grown in India, according to Regenerative Organic Certified and Fair for Life standards. This positioning enables Tulsinity Bio to combine the AB, ROC and FFL labels.
