Who are we ?

OUR COMPANY

PHYTOTAGANTE SAS, founded by Jamal Chahboun, Doctor of the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse and Valérie Jeannot, Doctor of the University of Perpignan, is specialized in the production of plant extracts for perfumery, natural cosmetics and aromatherapy since over 20 years.

Our crops and production centers are located in France and abroad (mainly Morocco, Tunisia, partnership in Turkey, Madagascar, India, Brazil). We produce essential oils, aromatic hydrolates, concretes, resinoids, absolutes, vegetable oils and specific and innovative extracts.

ALL OUR PRODUCTS ARE 100% PURE AND NATURAL.

 

Our production policy guarantees constant and optimal quality as well as the monitoring of our raw materials and their extracts.
We carry out a rigorous selection of our supplies in accordance with our quality approach. The plants come from our own crops, from private cooperatives or from state concessions. Most of the plants we treat are from organic farming.
Rigorous analytical controls are systematically carried out for all products by our lab.
In addition, we have also been running Research & Development study programs in collaboration with university labs for more than 20 years.
