Sederma one step closer to becoming a member of the UEBT

According to a press release, Beauty Actives company Sederma, a part of Croda International has successfully passed the first stage in becoming a member of the Union for Ethical BioTrade (UEBT). The two-day audit is the first step to becoming a fully accredited member of the UEBT, highlighting Sederma’s commitment to ethically sourcing ingredients from biodiversity. Already, Sederma’s portfolio is made up of two-thirds natural origin products, with one third obtained through eco-designed processes, including white and blue biotechnology, supercritical CO2 extraction and plant cell culture. This latest success by Sederma is a part of Croda’s 2030 Sustainability Commitment, where earlier this year, the company announced its ambition to become the most sustainable supplier of innovative ingredients, committing to become Climate, Land and People Positive by 2030.
