When purchasing natural raw materials, how can we be sure that we have the right plant (guarantee the botanical family, genus and species)?Securing supplies is one of the key issues for the consumer goods industry, and in particular for cosmetics, in line with the growing expectations of consumers in terms of safety, authenticity and transparency in connection with the application of the Nagoya protocol.The DNA analysis technology allows us precisely this traceability. It ensures the identification of plant species and even varieties with great reliability by authenticating the species analyzed: this analysis allows us, for example, to distinguish the white lily (Lilium candidum) from the royal white lily (Lilium regale).Scientific work on lavender, an emblematic species in the cosmetics and perfume sectors, is being undertaken by the consortium.
