This new milestone is key to continue to reinforce our collaboration with our customers and partners and to address the increasing consumers demand for innovative, high performing and natural-based formulations”.

To celebrate the launch of Beauté by Roquette’s 20th ingredient and its Expertise Centre, Roquette Beauté is supporting the “Octobre rose” cause and the “Look Good, Feel Better” (Belle et Bien) association that offers beauty treatments to women fighting cancer.
