Calyxia | Certified B CORP

What makes Calyxia a good fit for our strategy focused on a circular plastics value chain? The firm is targeting the market for microcapsules: a type of microplastic intentionally made to release active ingredients and additives – like fragrances, lubricants or herbicides – in an array of cosmetic, detergent and crop-protection products. Calyxia | Certified B CORP aims to disrupt incumbents with its biodegradable alternative, which is economically viable and scalable. Calyxia’s microcapsules not only result in zero microplastic pollution, they are less carbon and energy-intensive than incumbent products. In markets where regulators are compelling firms to reduce their environmental footprints, such as Europe with its microplastics ban, we believe this solution provides better performance at a lower price point than incumbents’ offerings.

Unlocking the Power of #EssentialOils through Microencapsulation for Surface Care.🌿 In surface care products, the need for more efficient, sustainable, and safe antimicrobial solutions is on the rise! Calyxia | Certified B CORP’s #microencapsulation of essential oils brings groundbreaking advantages: ✅ Enhanced #Antimicrobial Properties: Essential oils are naturally rich in antimicrobial compounds, making them excellent for disinfection. When #microencapsulated, these properties are more stable and can be released gradually, providing long-lasting protection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. ✅ Controlled Release: #Microencapsulation enables the controlled release of essential oils over time, ensuring that their active compounds are delivered consistently. This leads to more effective and prolonged surface protection, reducing the frequency of application. ✅ Preservation of #EssentialOils Properties: The encapsulation process shields essential oils from environmental factors, preserving their potency for longer periods. In fact, our studies show that over 84% of #encapsulated oils remain active after 24 hours, compared to just 1.7% for unencapsulated oils! Combining Calyxia | Certified B CORP’s #biodegradable microcapsules and naturally derived essential oils provides a new and unique solution to the growing demand for greener surface care products!   To know more about our product in #ConsumerCare visit our website 👉 https://lnkd.in/ej83sMAt
