At Evonik, we believe that nature holds the key to high‑performance, sustainable beauty. Our botanical extracts are crafted from a rich variety of plant materials - leaves, flowers, roots, and more – using advanced, eco‑friendly extraction methods. Many of our extracts are also available in officially certified bio (organic) grades, supporting natural and organic product concepts with full credibility.
Our botanical extracts business stands at the intersection of nature, science, and trust. Building on the combined legacy of Botanica and Novachem, companies acquired by Evonik, we deliver high-quality, transparent botanical solutions. These are crafted at our carbon-neutral extraction facility in Switzerland (GHG Scope 1 & 2) and complemented by extracts created at our operations in Argentina close to the hotspots of biodiversity in Latin America.
