For the first time, PAT is launching 2 natural active ingredients developed in its R&D laboratoryfor several years to enrich its own catalog of active ingredients. These are derived from plants that have undergone complete optimization with PAT milking plant technology® to produce an innovative extract from the roots. PAT's products are mastered from seed to extract, and even tested for biological efficacy.
The two products on offer, derived from different plant species, have different cosmetic claims in " complexion radiance" and " hydration "These are supported by a screening of biological activities. They will be marketed on a non-exclusive basis to cosmetics companies looking for effective, innovative products. One of these active ingredients will be on display in the show's Innovation Zone, highlighting the Group's high level of innovation and ability to develop rare plant ingredients.
PAT will thus benefit from the show's international reach, which brings together the major players in the Cosmetics sector (laboratories, major brands, manufacturers and distributors), to showcase its technologies and expertise. The Group will also be presenting its innovative PAT milking plant® production technology on its stand, and the possibilities for customized collaboration.
Further launches are scheduled for late 2016-early 2017. This new business development strategy perfectly complements the company's custom research activity for products exclusive to certain major manufacturers.
