Unlock greener innovation with plant-based excipients

As the preference for more sustainable and non-animal products grows globally, demand for plant-based ingredients and solutions continues to rise at a rapid rate. However, moving away from animal products, like gelatin, is not always easy – unless you partner with IFF’s Pharma Solutions.

We’re powering a new era in supplement innovation where plant-based meets performance. Our family of plant-based solutions is suitable for a vast range of nutritional formulations, from traditional hard and soft capsules, to gummies, chewable tablets and more. This means that you don’t need to compromise on quality, product function or process efficiency if you want to switch to a more sustainable solution that’s planet and consumer inspired.
