Since 1880, Gattefossé has been developing, manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical excipients and cosmetic ingredients of natural origin for the health and beauty industries worldwide.
Gattefossé serves both the human and animal health markets with a range of functional lipid chemistries. Our oral excipients improve solubility, enhance bioavailability, enable sustained release, and provide taste masking, and offer processing benefits—such as inert tablet lubrication and protection of sensitive APIs. For topical dosage forms, we offer solubilizers, skin penetration enhancers, emulsifiers, and viscosity enhancers. Our portfolio also includes suppository and pessary bases for rectal and vaginal administration. All Gattefossé products are backed by comprehensive safety, quality, and regulatory documentation to support your formulation and manufacturing needs. To accelerate development, our team of highly trained experts offers hands-on support through four Technical Centers of Excellence located in France, China, India, and the United States.
At Gattefossé, our ambition is to innovate responsibly by acting with care in response to environmental and social demands and emergencies. This ambition is at the heart of our responsible roadmap, Gatt'Up&Act. It is made up of 25 objectives to be achieved by 2035 across three focus areas: Environment, Employees, and Society.
