About the Company

Amyris

Produces bio-based cosmetic and flavor ingredients

Amyris uses its Lab-to-Market fermentation platform to turn plant sugars, mainly from sugarcane, into a wide range of molecules using engineered microorganisms such as yeast. Its products include sustainable ingredients like squalane and hemisqualane for cosmetics, as well as other molecules used in flavors, fragrances, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. The platform lets Amyris supply B2B ingredients to large companies and had previously managed consumer brands directly, but has since refocused on R&D and commercialization of bio-manufactured ingredients. The company aims to provide scalable, plant-derived ingredients that reduce reliance on fossil resources across multiple markets.
