CREATING NEW INGREDIENTS

How we develop ingredients for you

You need more than ingredients.
You need comprehensive solutions.


An ingredient that doesn’t meet your standards for quality, scientific support, sustainability or compelling messaging isn’t a solution at all.  These types of drawbacks tie up your resources and slow down  your product development process. Our goal is to provide you with buttoned-up, ready-to-go ingredient solutions from Day One. The word Solutions is in our company name.

Developing new ingredients

Out of the over 200 concepts that we evaluate each year, less than 5% get to market. When you are introduced to a new PLT ingredient, you can be assured that it has passed scrutiny from our commercial, scientific, regulatory, quality and supply chain teams. You’ll also know that it solves a real market need in a unique way.

We ask ourselves the following questions among many others:

• Do they meet real consumer needs?
• Do they solve a problem?
• Are they best-in-class?
• Do they meet our standards for traceability, quality, efficacy and sustainability?
• What additional clinical work may be required?
 
What you access by working with PLT are heavily curated and developed ready-to-go, validated solutions.
