Vytrus Biotech reinforces its production capacity with a 3.5 million euro investment in a new plant in Terrassa. This expansion project is designed to meet the growing demand for its natural active ingredients in the cosmetics sector.

Vytrus Biotech, specialized in active ingredients derived from plant biotechnology for the cosmetics industry, has announced a strategic investment to create a new production plant in Terrassa, Spain. Scheduled to take place between 2025 and 2026, the 3.5 million euro initiative will strengthen the company's industrial structure with a 1,600 m² plant, while meeting the growing international demand for natural ingredients for cosmetics.

International expansion and growth

In this first phase of expansion, Vytrus plans to triple its production capacity to meet the growing expectations of its international customers. This initiative is in line with the company's growth strategy, which aims to consolidate its position as an international reference in biotechnology applied to cosmetics. The company is also focusing on innovation and sustainability to generate value for its shareholders and customers.

The Breton manufacturer Lessonia presents Alter-Thickhair, a plant-based ingredient designed to densify hair. Made from fibers derived from oud wood, this new product is a natural, sustainable and vegan alternative to traditional fibers such as nylon, cotton or keratin.

Meeting the expectations of a changing market

Faced with the problems of hair density loss linked to stress, hormonal variations or diet, demand for natural, effective solutions is growing. At the same time, formulations are increasingly oriented towards responsible ingredients, without compromising performance.

This is the background to Alter-Thickhair, designed to meet both the environmental challenges and the efficiency needs of hair care brands.

A reused raw material: oud wood

Traditionally used in perfumery, oud wood reveals a new use here. Lessonia uses the residues from the distillation of its essential oil to create an upcycled hair fiber, through a grinding and micronization process carried out at its Saint-Thonan plant in Brittany.

Natural electrostatic fixation

The resulting fibers have a positive charge that interacts with the hair's naturally negative charge. This electrostatic adhesion mechanism ensures even distribution, long-lasting hold without residue or transfer, and a natural look.

An ingredient that can be adapted to your needs

Available in two standard shades (Natural and Brown), Alter-Thickhair can be customized to meet the requirements of formulators and brands.

Key features

  • Instant densifying effect
  • Light, soft, non-sticky texture
  • Long-lasting hold
  • 100 % natural, vegan, microplastic-free
  • Made in France from upcycled materials

«With Alter-Thickhair, we give a second life to a precious and rare raw material used in perfumery. It's an innovation that combines durability and visible effectiveness. The effect is incredible as soon as you apply it, explains Marion Lagadec, Lessonia's Marketing Manager.
