IFF expands LMR Naturals site in Grasse, advancing naturals innovation leadership - Seite 2

“With a newly expanded site now fully operational, we intend to launch four to six new products each year, with sustainability at the heart of our approach — reflected in our dual certifications, For Life and Zero Waste to Landfill, and a waste valorization rate of at least 98 percent,” said Bertrand de Preville, general manager of LMR Naturals.

LMR Naturals introduced 23 new ingredients since 2020 and earned notable accolades, including seven awards from CosmetiqueMag and recognition from the Organic Monitor Sustainable Beauty Awards. Meanwhile, the LMR Naturals team remains committed to its founding vision: revealing the purity of natural ingredients while respecting the environment and sourcing partners. LMR currently processes 85,000 tons of biomass annually, produces 2,000 tons of extracts and offers more than 850 ingredients across 130 botanical families.

With this expansion, IFF reaffirms its strategic investment in the Grasse region, which now includes more than 230 employees and positions it as a global hub for natural ingredient innovation and excellence.
