Laboratoire Greenpharma, a French biotech research company owned by Sweetch Group, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Nanyang Biologics (NYB) of Singapore to accelerate the discovery and development of next-generation personal care ingredients.
The collaboration will initially focus on skin care and cosmetics while exploring future opportunities in consumer health, where scientifically validated, nature-derived bioactives are increasingly sought after.
The partnership combines Laboratoire Greenpharma's expertise in phytochemistry, natural compounds, chemoinformatics, and ingredient discovery with NYB's Vecura agentic AI platform for bioactivity prediction.
By integrating natural compound intelligence, artificial intelligence, and sustainable ingredient innovation, the collab aims to improve the speed, precision, and scientific validation of ingredient discovery.
The approach will help identify and prioritize the most promising bioactive molecules, accelerating their path from discovery to market-ready ingredients.
Together, NYB and Sweetch Group bring one of the industry's most comprehensive nature-based discovery ecosystems, combining expertise across more than 210,000 organisms and complementary strengths spanning natural compound research, AI-powered molecular discovery, green chemistry, ingredient development, and commercialization.
"This collaboration represents a new generation of ingredient discovery," said Giang Nguyen, CTO of Nanyang Biologics.
"By combining Greenpharma's deep expertise in natural substances with NYB's AI capabilities, we can identify promising bioactive molecules faster and with greater confidence, helping accelerate innovation for the beauty industry."
"The future of beauty ingredients lies at the intersection of nature, technology, and sustainability," added Cyril Gallardo, CEO of Sweetch Group.
"This collaboration brings together world-class expertise in natural products, AI-driven discovery, and green chemistry to create a unique innovation engine capable of delivering high-performance, bio-based ingredients that meet the evolving needs of brands and consumers."
