Who are we ?

OUR COMPANY

Phytotagante SAS, founded over 30 years ago, specializes in the production of plant extracts for perfumery, natural cosmetics and aromatherapy.

Products marketed nationally and internationally include essential oils, aromatic hydrolats, concretes, resinoids, absolutes, vegetable oils and specific, innovative extracts.

Our raw material supply comes mainly from Morocco and Tunisia. Other partnerships are also in place in Turkey, Madagascar, India and Brazil.

We make a rigorous selection of our supplies in line with our quality approach. Plants come from cultivated farms, private cooperatives or state concessions. Most of the plants we process are organically grown..

The production centers are located as close as possible to the collection areas to ensure complete traceability of the raw materials and their extracts from the origin of the plant.

 

The Phytotagante site in France houses absolute production units, a molecular distillation unit and two rectification units..

ALL OUR PRODUCTS ARE 100% PURE AND NATURAL.

100% pure products: from a botanically identified plant, with a single geographical origin, a single production method, a single part of the plant and a defined chemical composition.

100% natural products: obtained by physical processes defined by ISO 9235.

Our production policy guarantees consistent, top-quality products.

Rigorous analytical controls are systematically carried out on all products by our laboratory.

For over 20 years, we have also been carrying out research and development programs in collaboration with university laboratories.
