The companies are exploring additional Biofene-based cosmetic commercialization opportunities as part of Nikko’s green, clean, sustainable and economy strategy.
Amyris CEO John Melo said through the first three Biofene production sites, the company is expanding its sales volumes of renewably-sourced squalane and providing additional customers with a reliable supply of this best-in-class emollient.
Amyris squalane, which is produced from Biofene, Amyris’s renewable farnesene, is renewably sourced from sugarcane of high purity and stability.
Nikko Chemicals is at the center of the Japan-based chemical company Nikkol Group.
Amyris is a renewable products company focused on providing sustainable alternatives to a broad range of petroleum-sourced products.
