Growing better ingredients with nature

Insempra is a biotechnology-powered company enabling businesses to transform their ingredient lists with superior products made in collaboration with nature.

For too long, businesses have relied on petrochemical production and environmental exploitation, depleting our limited natural resources and polluting our planet.

Environmental issues, consumer demand, and regulatory restrictions are changing the ingredients landscape dramatically. The beauty & personal care, food & nutrition and fashion industries are under immense pressure to shift to sustainable alternatives.
Insempra’s advanced technology platform enables the production of superior natural ingredients at industrial scale to help the world’s leading brands to transform their products.

Together it is our mission to grow a better future.

Reducing petrochemical
dependency

Many commonly used ingredients rely on petrochemicals, which are derived from fossil fuels. Insempra produces regenerative compounds that match or exceed synthetic counterparts through biotechnological processes.

Fighting deforestation & loss of biodiversity

Deforestation and subsequent loss of biodiversity is one of the detrimental side-effects of conventional ingredient sourcing. By utilizing products and waste streams, Insempra is helping to reduce the need for agricultural land, thus contributing to combating deforestation and biodiversity-loss.

Harnessing circular
manufacturing

By utilizing second-generation feedstock — materials derived from agricultural and forestry residues, food industry by-products, and other sustainable sources, Insempra strives to ensure resource efficiency and waste reduction, contributing to more sustainable and responsible production.

Collaborating to grow a better future

Insempra works with leading academic and industrial partners to scale the technology that is shaping the future of sustainable ingredients.

Whether you represent a business, want to join our team or have a technology with potential — we would love to hear from you.
