Already present in cosmetics brands and shaping, Ekkio moves up the value chain with the creation of Sweetch.
Sweetch Groupe is a manufacturer of specialty ingredients for the cosmetics industry, based on high-tech natural ingredients.
Sweetch offers ingredients, formulations and technologies enabling cosmetics brands to reduce the proportion of synthetic ingredients through plant-based and biotechnological solutions.
The Group was created in 2024 following the merger between Creathes, a French player in the formulation of microcapsules, Gobiotics, a Belgian-Dutch company specializing in prebiotics, postbiotics and probiotics for the skin microbiota, and Creachem, its partner and distributor.
Tony Jaillot, CEO of Sweetch, says: "The consumer desire for beauty brands based on ingredients derived from nature is now unstoppable and is shaping the present and future of the industry."
"Ekkio Capital is delighted to welcome Sweetch to the portfolio. They have put in place a solid strategy to fuel growth and offer new ingredients to the beauty industry that will develop rapidly," says Thibaud Gachet, Partner at Ekkio Capital.
Hervé Huillier, founder of Creathes and COO of the group, adds: "Our expertise in natural delivery systems will bring performance to natural cosmetics, combining well-being, innovation, health and sustainability."
Dorota Gonry, CEO of GoBiotics Ingredients, says: "Becoming part of Sweetch will amplify our R&D resources, production capacity and level of customer service. More and more iconic ingredients are coming our way."
