- The Method
A PLANT, RESOLVED.
A wild plant varies from season to season. A specification cannot. We close that gap under one roof, from sourcing to documentation, so you work with one partner instead of several.
Sourced with traceability. Cultivated and wild-harvested material from South Africa’s endemic regions, sourced under the required permits and benefit-sharing arrangements. Species identity is confirmed at intake.
Processed in-house. Extraction, spray drying and purification in our own facility in Paarl. Drying conditions are matched to the heat sensitivity of each active.
Tested every batch. Chromatographic assay against a declared marker, using a validated method in our own analytical laboratory. A Certificate of Analysis comes with every batch.
Ready to formulate. Guidance on regulatory position by market and on formulation, plus a complete technical dossier for your quality team.
