INNOVATION

INNOVATING IN HEALTH AND NATURAL COSMETICS SINCE 1968

Scientific value is essential to achieve our formulations and, for this reason, innovation is key to our business project.

We believe science must be at the service of the best formulae, which in turn will result in top-quality products.

In fact, our firm commitment to R&D&I has been recognised throughout our history and, year after year, through different recognitions such as the Technological Innovation Project Prize by the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology and the prize for research applied to companies by the European Business Innovation Centre of Murcia, among others.

COLLABORATIONS WITH INSTITUTIONS AND UNIVERSITIES

We are firmly committed to R&D&I, to investing in the continuous training of our human, technical and logistical team and to collaborating with institutions and different universities in research programmes and chairs.

We have several R&D projects approved by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities in the field of new products, process innovation and information and communication technologies.

Collaboration with CSIC

We have been working closely with scientific institutions such as the CSIC (Spanish National Research Council) since 2017, carrying outstanding projects like the characterization of ingredients of beekeeping origin.

Technology Centers

We work to boost our competitiveness through innovation, along with Technological Centres betting on R+D+i in the food sector.

Inter-University Chair of Innovation

In February 2022, the Inter-University Chair 'Murcia Innova Ecosystem' (EMURI) was established, the first chair that brings together the three major universities in the Region of Murcia: University of Murcia (UMU), Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT), and Catholic University of San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM).
