Our Products

Squalane

Our high purity squalane offers the market a new, sustainably-sourced, high performance squalane. It is the clear choice as a stand-alone active, or as the critical component for any squalane-based formulation.

An Environmentally Responsible Source

Currently, squalane is sourced from the livers of deep sea sharks or as a byproduct of olive oil processing. These sources present challenges in regards to both sustainability and environmental responsibility. Nucelis squalane offers our customers access to this highly valued emollient without the negative environmental impact.

Reliable And Sustainable Supply

Nucelis squalane provides the market with a natural, sustainable, and environmentally friendly source that exceeds the purity of all other sources. Because it is made in a controlled fermentation process, we can guarantee supply at any volumes our customers require with supply chain reliability not offered by other sources.

The Nucelis Advantage

Our squalane offers unparalleled performance in a wide variety of formulations. It is completely odorless, water white, and contains no significant impurities. It absorbs rapidly into the skin, and leaves behind a silky, smooth feel that is not greasy or sticky. Commercial samples of our squalane are currently available upon request.

Benefits Of Squalane

Squalane has long been known to the personal care industry for its powerful benefits to the skin. Benefits include:

• Helps to prevent collagen/elastin breakdown.
• Replenishes vital lipid content and natural moisturizing factors to improve skin
• Maintains moisture balance and minimizes skin moisture loss
• Conditions skin to restore softness and elasticity
• Reverses signs of rough, dry, scaly skin

Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol)

Nucelis has developed a new and highly pure source of Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) for use in the human nutrition and functional foods markets. Our Vitamin D2 provides the market with a sustainable, non-animal, and environmentally friendly source that is equal to, or in some cases exceeds, the purity and performance of other sources.

Vegan and Vegetarian Friendly

Nucelis Vitamin D2 is developed using a completely vegan and vegetarian friendly process. Unlike the production of Vitamin D3, the Nucelis process does not rely on the use of animal oils. This makes Nucelis Vitamin D particularly valuable to customers who operate in markets sensitive to the use of products derived from animals and markets where origin and supply chain practices are increasingly transparent. Nucelis Vitamin D is of the highest purity and quality suitable for the betterment of human and animal nutrition.

Secure Supply and Stable Cost

Nucelis Vitamin D is manufactured through advanced fermentation using our proprietary, non-transgenic technology providing the market with a sustainable and environmentally friendly source. Nucelis Vitamin D2 is made in a controlled fermentation process in combination with efficient downstream purification guaranteeing supply and cost stability at any volume target.

The Nucelis Advantage

Nucelis brings a new, highly pure source of GMO-free Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) to the nutritional and functional foods markets. The Nucelis technology for the production of Vitamin D2 is non-transgenic using a proprietary strain of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica as a natural bio-catalyst to produce high quality ergosterol. The yeast has been produced using Nucelis’ unique suite of gene editing and metabolic engineering tools that mimic traditional non-GM plant breeding practices. The ergosterol produced by natural fermentation is then converted to highly pure Vitamin D2 by exposure to light in a process similar to the natural production of Vitamin D by the sun. By combining the power of our technology platform with the use of non-food feedstocks and robust downstream processing capabilities, our highly efficient process allows Nucelis to offer Vitamin D2 to the market with unmatched purity, stable supply and consistent cost. As a result, Nucelis Vitamin D2 is the #1 choice for brands that demand sustainable and naturally-sourced ingredients of the highest quality. Commercial samples of Vitamin D2 are currently available upon request.
