Sweetch has announced the acquisition of Laboratoire Greenpharma, a move that strengthens its leadership in natural, sustainable cosmetic ingredients.
Greenpharma is widely recognised for its expertise in natural active ingredients, phytochemistry, and green extraction technologies.
The merger combines Greenpharma’s deep R&D capabilities and scientific infrastructure with Sweetch’s strengths in microbiome technologies, delivery systems, and sustainable formulation. Together, the companies aim to support cosmetic brands across the entire innovation journey—from ingredient discovery to validated performance claims.
“The acquisition of Laboratoire Greenpharma significantly strengthens Sweetch’s position as a leader in natural, sustainable cosmetic ingredients,” said Cyril Gallardo, CEO of Sweetch.
“In particular, it completes the active ingredients portfolio with objectivated extracts and conscious sourcing, solidifying our standing with key players in the beauty industry.”
The partnership promises faster, deeper scientific development and ingredients that meet the evolving expectations of the beauty industry.
Greenpharma brings powerful tools into the fold, including chemoinformatics, proprietary databases, advanced extraction technologies like supercritical CO₂, a sophisticated analytical lab, and strong green chemistry capabilities. All will be integrated into Sweetch’s R&D pipeline, accelerating new cosmetic actives and enhancing scientific substantiation.
“The values of both companies are aligned in terms of human and scientific values. We have a complementary catalogue considering products and services. That is why synergies will be present at different levels,” said Philippe Bernard, CEO of Laboratoire Greenpharma.
“Furthermore, we will gain increased visibility both locally and internationally. The group will acquire the momentum to face the challenges of the cosmetic industry of the future.”
For partners and customers, the acquisition deliversbacess to objectivated, performance-driven natural actives; faster development cycles and accelerated innovation; stronger scientific substantiation and analytical expertise; and expanded capabilities in green extraction and sustainable sourcing.
The move underscores Sweetch’s ambition to build a science-led, future-ready platform for cosmetic innovation. By combining complementary expertise, technologies, and teams, the company is positioning itself to help brands tackle the twin challenges of performance and sustainability.
“We’re excited about what’s ahead, and we look forward to shaping the future of cosmetic innovation together,” the company said.
